A take on BB methodology.

Glad to hear your SSB has worked for you.

However, maintenance == husbandry. I was going to post from dictionary.com but let's try to avoid semantical games this early in the morning.

Ill stick with my ssb that I have had running for ver 5 years maintenance (husbandry) is a breeze

I'm not seeing any sps in your gallery pics. Are there any sps in your tank?

Thank you for the respose bomber . So running the skimmer wet isnt necceserily say pulling a gallon od skimmate a day but not a huge significant amount ?

Top down picks are incrediable! I will work on getting some top down picks posted.

 

[bluebentgrass]

How do you guys post such large images? I can only post 50k... You post 128??

Does anyone else get really tired of the "my-substrate-is-better-than-yours" ****ing contest? It's pretty much polluting all of the boards I'm on...

Joe, Mark
You guys just brightened my afternoon! You guys were waiting for his post weren't you??

I think you can go over 100k in your gallery if you're a Premium Member of RC [as well as spellcheck, archive pm's, and have access to search when it's restricted due to volume/hits].

Top-down is great with 10k, but the 20k top-down just looks to fakey blue to my eye.

And this was my atempt at a DSB :lol:

I guess your right BB's can only produce brown corals .

 

[bluebentgrass]

Sean, I would like to see frag to fraggable colonies from you!!!!!!

Bro, it's been like that for year's, probably alway's will.

I'm not saying mine is better , rather that it works for me , I'm tired of DSB guys pounding their chests like gorilas fight to be the alpha male .

 

[bluebentgrass]

Did you change skimmers when you went bb?

 

[bluebentgrass]

Im not saying all bb produce brown corals only that the corals i see when bomber posted had brown stags. But hey maybe they are from a different ocean> It seems inconcievable to want brown corals in your reef. But maybe there is something special about those corals..!!

 

[Mike O'Brien]

Now you got it

And I didn't interpret your response that way - I just smiled because you truly have a beautiful BB tank. You've pretty much summed up the way I feel.....

It's like they're all scared of anyone straying from the status quo.

OH MY GOD! IT'S NEW! KILL IT! :mad2:

For a while this hobby was my escape from the trainwreck that is human civilization. Ah to become jaded.... :sad1:

People get on multi-year waiting lists, pay hundreds of dollars for `rare/exotic' corals - yet his were far rarer in aquaria, while being brown.
