Any reason you went with the pro color vs the fiji purple bulb?

Not really. ATI makes some quailty stuff so i figured I couldnt go wrong. Im gonna order another Blue+ bulb along with a Fiji purple to try them out.

I love the endless color combos or T5!

I use T5 Fiji Purples as supplemental lighting on my tank instead of actinics. They really help give some extra pop and I think you'll like em'.

Thanks Sonny. I'll be watching with interest to see how the prodibio/vodka combo works for you. This tank of yours & Chris's has got me rethinking about what my new tank will be although I was thinking of about 8ft long. Can one go that big with a rimless?

I know of two tanks here on RC that are in the size you're looking at.

Thank you for the info.

I plan on dosing VSV daily,Prodibio Reefbooster weekly, and Prodibio biodigest every two weeks.

I have been dosing vodka (in some form or another) since March. About 3 weeks ago I started vsv. I really like it. I can feed the tank alot, and since I only have smaller fish (9 of them though), they get plenty to eat and I don't worry about any nuisance algae.

I recently picked up some biodigest. I have used prodibio in the past, and I liked the results. Be careful with the reefbooster, it is pretty potent.

Yes, we went out on a charter and seen some very nice fish. It must be awesome for you to live there, so much beauty around you.

My wife and I went to Vieques for a week last year. Great time. Very secluded beach, town, etc. We have considered purchasing a beach home down there, if only money grew on trees.

there are ways to battery backup a tunze nano i am not sure how but i saw some guy in his build thread had one hooked up to a car battery that was charged constantly when the power was on and when it went out it powered the nano for like 2 days.

anybody know what im talking about??

Tunze has a 'safety' connector that you can use with the 6055 and some of the newer controllable tunzes. I have one of my 6055s hooked up to it, then to an inverter and to a small gel battery. I can get ~ 40 hrs. of power out of the battery before it needs recharging. Comes on instantly.

Thanks for the info. I have been using Prodibio on my past tank for over a year. The reefbooster really helps my corals out. I notice that the next day after dosing the corals open up much more and coloration seems to improve.

No problem Nick. Hopefully someone will read it and prevent a disaster with this cheap (relative) solution.

Looks like good stuff. I have always fed my fish flakes and pellets. I dont remember the last time I fed my fish frozen or meaty food.
