LOL :D

We should bump this thread once a week, just to show for the people that just started in this hobby that you CAN run a VERY sucessfull SPS tank with a DSB. And here it's the living AND thriving proof.
There's NO BB tank here on Reef Central that comes close to this tank(not even close), both in apearence, as well as colors. The colors, harmony, growth..everything in this tank screams life and success. That only proves that what matters is the husbandry behind the tank, the owner efforts... no matter how you run it.

But hey, " DSB's don't have a place in the SPS World" :lol: Riiiiiiight...

Let them think that, ya know, it's too much fun to let it go.
 
Not trying turn this thread away from its intended purpose....

But Bomber never said that DSB's dont work. What he said was DSB's didnt work as advertised. This tank is a great example of what can be accomlished if husbandry is followed. Too many people followed what initially posted about DSB's being maintenance free, and things didnt work out right. Even Shimek has changed what he reccomends in regards to DSB's. There's nothing wrong with DSB's or with BB, ya just hafta know what's required to keep each type of set up healthy.

Now can we get back to enjoying these gorgeous reef pics from Brazil???

He never said that. He can't even say that, cause wouldn't be true. I never said he said that either. I was quoting another guy, one of Bomber's "followers", just making a joke. Like many BB's followers make jokes of DSB's followers all the time. So chill out.
:smokin:

And only four years, Bomber?? C'mon, you are better than that! What did you do to this poor tank?? :p :lol:
 
wow man

wow man

Didn't mean to stir up trouble just pointing out it can be done either way from what i'v seen, and bomber your tank looks great even without the sand.LOL :p
 
Carlinos, your tank is Gorgeous,One day I hope mine will look like that.
And your maintenance routine is not overwhelming.

Great system you got going there.
 
Brazileros kikking butt in SPS keeping!:thumbsup:
Love all the sps tanks in Brazil! Keep it up.

Carlinhos, can you tell me, do you feed heavily? How much food do you give your tank?

Obrigado!
 
The more I see this tank, the more I like it. It's simply the best looking tank EVER to apear on Reef Central.

And Green Thumb,
Fala portugues?? ;)
 
Green Thumb, what do you mean with "food"? What kind of food are you asking? The food to fish??

If you speak portuguese, could you write the question in portuguese??

Thanks,
Carlinhos.
 
Carlinhos, e acho que ele esta falando de comida em geral, tanto de peixe como qualquer coisa extra que possa a vir a dosar.

abracos,

C. <-- xara seu.
 
and Carlinhos, if you want anything to be translated from Portuguese to English, just PM me and I do it for you .

Se quiser qualquer coisa traduzida pra Ingles, me mande um PM eu eu faco pra voce.

abracos
 
Thanks for helping out New moon!

Fala espanol, frances y ahora trato portuges. I can understand 90 % of what is being writen but dont know the language that well, Lastima.

Fala de comida organica (viva o muerta) de peixe y de todo otro.

It might even be more confusing if I try to combine my french and spanish to speak portugese to you. I dont mind cause thats how you learn, but I dont want to waste your time.

I want to know how much organic matter (food to corals and fish)goes into your tank on a regular basis.

Muito obrigado Carlinhos!
