NICE !!!!! ABOUT TIME!!!!
Your tank has been an inspiration to me for a while, nice to see you finally get your day (month) to shine! Question- Is the dolomite in the reactor? and is it mixed with the rest of the media? If it is, what other type of media do you use in your reactor. Thanks Keith |

Skipper............Thanks again for the TOTM for the mo. of Nov. added bonus for my B-Day.
tom obrech..........Thank U , and when U ready to do this go slow. Irac2006..........Thanks!! cward.............Thanks for the kind words. Would U believe after all this time my system is't fully automated yet. I like playing w/ it , not the corals, gives me something to do.Carlos.............Old friend , Thank U !!............What a ride ha? saltyfish103 bluefaceking...........Thank U very much!! mhurley...............Thank U my friend!! blstravler...............Thanks Kieth..............Yes, the dolomite is in the reactor together w/ hydrocarbonat calcium media from aquamedic.I was using aragonite before, since the addition of dolomite, not too long before the aragonite tuned into mud. So I swicth to a more hardened media that can go w/ dolomite and could withstand lower PH w/o turning them into mush. Goblinfish Brewen.................Thanks fellas, thank U!! |

Beautiful tank! Well deserved TOTM. Do you use any PO4 removers? Just curious, how you keep any algae under control.

Wow just wow, I really like the cave look. I would really like to see some pictures of the tank when you set it up, if you have any. You have done a great job of making the tank look natural.

Beautiful tank, a well deserved honor to be chosen.
Can you ID a coral for me. It's in the right hand picture below your invert list. It's the pinkish spikey one.
