Pictures of Bomber's barebottom SPS tank and related equipment

Since there is a gap between the starboard and the glass, the snail poops tend to settle down between those gap. Unfortunately, the gap is pretty small and I have problem inserting my siphon tube all the way to siphon it out. Any issues with it fouling the water? If it is not a big issue, I am not going to bother too much about it.

Either use a powerhead to blow it out, or use rigid tubing to reach that spot and siphon it out.

I suggested taking a thin bead of silicon around the outside edges to this before the tanks were setup in a glass tank that is.. keeps the board down and easier to get internal flow to kepp that stuff in suspension

 

[Bomber]

Jerel, would you recommend Starboard for placing under them to decapitate them?

YES LOL

but you can use the cheaper 1/4" board for that

YES LOL

Oh and the different colors one can obtain.:eek2: Don`t stop with just one, create a rainbow of colors!

Hey Bomber, doesn't your system ever run low on Mg? I remember you mentioned you only dose Sr and we all know how vigilat you are about water changes
Just wondering...

 

[Bomber]

I don't store a lot of organics/detritus in this system that would drive Mg consumption. So it takes a long time for Mg to drop.

So no, I don't worry about it.

You also don't let coralline build up everywhere. I would think that the constant consumption by Doug would recycle Mg to some extent.

Well, color me a convert. I just spend all day reading this from the first page. Interesting debates to say the least but it all make sense. Now all I have to do is figure out what to use the refugium in my custom build sump for instead of sinking detritous!

 

[tankslave]

well, you could still use it to "sink detritus." Put in some eggcrate or some vertical pieces of acrylic, spaced off the bottom, and turn it into a settling filter. Easy way to catch and remove detritus!

Awesome

[boxfishpooalot]

Yes I would love to see fresh pics! Bomber may have revolutionized the way the hobby thinks!

 

[gregt]

Maybe tomorrow guys. I just got done with a 6 hour drive and I'm not much in the mood to mess with pictures. I don't even know if any of them came out yet anyway.

 

[gwaco]

you tease !!!!

 

[Bomber]

and it's not the way I want it yet either.

Chris over at Mote Marine Lab setup a tank for display that I loved, I'm trying to recreate that look. So far all I've accomplished is moving a bunch of things around.

 

[gwaco]

is that mote marine here in st. pete ? i am sure theres more than one .
