BB = fish tank
SSB = Reef :p

tfp runs a BB reef. As long as my corals look like his when I'm stocked up, I don't care what the bottom of my tank looks like :lol:

If its good enough for Tim......

:lol: Thats why he ran sand for 7 years. He'll be the first to say that he misses it. But now that he has removed it twice and after what he went through last time, never again. In fact he was planning on adding the sand back, but due to the cyphastrea orp fiasco, I believe the three 50 lb bags of sand are still in his garage ;)

The one thing for you "newer" sps'rs is that being BB is easier to tune your system, but it is also easier to destroy your reef due to over supplementing and other mishaps since there is no natural buffers.
 
It is amoung the greatest debates amoung SPS'rs. I have no problem saying that both ways do work, but what gets me is when people swear their way is the right and only way :p

High Tension Topics

Sand or No Sand
Vortech or Tunze
BK or ATB
"blue" Tunze driver covers or "silver" Tunze driver covers
To T-bone or NOT to T-bone :D
 
:lol:

Yeah, I gotta get that new cover :lmao:

Mark, I have seen great results both ways. I see all the debates and just laugh. Go with what you want, and roll with it.Both ways work just fine :D
 
I am sorry to hear that your sohal is for sale. Its tough as we get so attached to out livestock. The problem now is trying to catch the purple when you add a new fish. He is going to get comfortable and think he is king.
My wife used to called my purple tang Napolean because even though he was smaller than my blonde naso and the desardani, he still used to punk them on a daily basis. I wonder how that fish did for Warren.
 
Yeah, it's not a happy time. My plan was to house this fish for the longterm and keep it as a centerpiece for years to come. Truly one of the nicest tangs IMHO, and very well suited for aquarium life other than the aggression. This tang is extremely hardy.

IME aggression varies from fish to fish, but my plan is to add the 2 new fish at the same time I remove the sohal. The PT is so in check right now I think that the two newbies will be able to slip in relatively under the radar, and from what I have seen in the past, the PT will not present a problem. however, only time will tell.

Hopefully I can find a buyer for the fish as I don't really want to get totally ripped off by a fish store :(

Anyone local looking for a beautiful fish for a large tank?
 
Thanks! That's a great price T, just not what I'm looking for :)

External w/an airstar :D or else BK I think.....

What a tease! :p You know, you don't have to say that for me to visit your thread ;)
 
How does Sang like his ATB? Jim, sucks about the Sohal. WOuld have been nice if he was a little more mellow.

At least you can give a Achilles a try i like them better, but thats just my opinion. Hopefully Mark didnt get the one you liked:)

NO WAY!!! I'm going with my gut on this one :)

No Achilles for me. I refuse to deal with ich, and there is no way that my PT will not stress the fish out.

I'm either going OST, CT and mag-foxface or just the CT and Mag-foxface.

No PBTs, No achilles.
 
There was one Jim liked when we saw the 3 on Friday. so i was just saying hopefully that one is still there, Thats all. If not oh well.

I'm sure you got it:) I agreed there was one i thought had a little better color and seemed a little chunkier than the other 2. But overall they all looked really nice!
