derrik is that an extension cord i see draped over your tank? if so please do something about that. salt water is extremely conductive and you are putting your self in serious danger like this. I also hope you have things plugged into one of those gfi plugs. the size of your sump warrents a lot of extra caution because it will overflow if you have any kind of power outage.

The wire you see is the plug from my skimmer and my extension cords are sitting up on a box inside my stand far away from any kind of water contact and also I showed you pics of a simulated outage I wont have water anywhere didnt you see the pic????

Thats was an old tank i dont have that nor the filter anymore but if it wasnt RO it worked wonders and the rock some is leaned to the glass and some i have mounted in the sand with no other support other than rock itself
 
Yeah I almost used just a sediment filter but I couldn't get my TDS low enough. What is yours before and after filtering?

And that old tank looked fresh as hell. Why'd you get rid of it?

Reef safe trigger, sweat sock filter...you are groundbreaking, derrick :) I am truly curious to see this work!

Water looks cloudy still, though, in your pics. You say it's crystal clear in real life?

Four Tangs in a 55 because you are a rebel? Seriously? Blatant disregard for the health and well being of the animals you are obligated to care for is not rebellion, my friend.

Dare I ask where these poor tangs are now? Considering you have not lost a fish in years, they are still with you, right?

Thanks for the comments and no I sold them along with that tank when i bought my house I was in a apartment when i had that tank. They all lived for over a year looked just as good as you saw in that vid =) But I will admit I would reccomend no one to do that

I am hoping you dont recommend anyone do anything that you are doing. I knew something was wrong with the mentality of a person that could do what you were doing. After watching the videos I now know my gut feeling was correct. Maybe you could train your fish to wrestle and you could buy them little gold belts like yours. You could have your own little training facility. You could be in your own little world. :hmm5:

If you have 5 years experience why are you posting in new to the hobby?

I have never heard of anyone topping of with saltwater...I had to read all 7 pages to realize this thread was not a joke.

I also think I saw a lunar wrasse and you called him reef safe?
 
Can this thread end please?

Sweat sock filter? Really? The OP is either completely ridiculous or a teenager. No adult would be this oblivious and ignorant in the face of knowledge.
 
Guys, just a fair warning when posting links to videos. Many of them from what I've seen contain language that is out of bounds of RC's User Agreement. I'm sure nobody is directly trying to step over the UA but its something to take into mind before you post any links.

Thanks

:)
