Hey Bomber, if you have a chance, take a look at this one, i'm sick of arguing with this guy:

Jay, it's called "gutter guard". You put it on the gutters around your house to keep leaves out. You can probably get it at any hardware store.
I just cut it to fit and put the pieces together with pull ties.

Thanks, I knew they made gutter guard in metal, but had no idea there were plastic versions. Off to Home Depot today.

Bomber's memory must be kept alive! Although, he's probably still around here under a different name :worried:

I could post a few things on a thread like that, but it would get deleted so fast it's not worth the effort.

I had you in mind Anemone when I made that choice. :lol:

I know the rules here.

 

[Anemone]

I don't like the extra work either.

This seems like the perfect thread to ask questions about a barebottom setup. So if you don't mind, here's mine.


If I'm going to setup a completely new barebottom tank can I cook the LR in the tank itself and does that change the process at all? Also would it be possible to do it all at once? (This is asuming you need to cook new cured LR at all, which I suppose is another question)

Also regarding flow. It was recommended to me that I'd want 30x or more turnover for a SPS tank. Can this number be lower due to the more open conditions in a barebottom tank or is it just all the more beneficial due to the ease of flow?

Thanks.
