Still BB here and no plans of changing any time soon.Sure, RC lost some great people, but IMO the quality and amount of information shared here has not skipped a beat. I am a member of more forums than I have fingers to count with but RC will always be the place I call home.
If you need to find Bomber or SeanT, you can find them at TRT, as mentioned already.
You can find Anthony, Eric, and Ron over at the MD forums.
Well said Travis.One of the things i found kind of ironic is about 1/2 of the people i learned from /modeled after what not,that were "moved on" have become mods/admins of other forums.

BB here on the display sps tank and a big old stinking DSB on the Mantis tank.

FWIW, I only think one person mentioned is `moved on'. The rest moved themselves ...

FWIW lots of people have tried one method or the other(DSB or BB) and it didn't work for them. Then they try the other and are successfull with it and and all of a sudden they think that is the only way to go...well it's not. IMO studying and even experimenting with both methods will teach you to be a better reefer

Perfect post !:thumbsup:
I might just setup my next tank with a DSB just to see If I learned anything.

Xenia......bleh, basically I have been BB for about 6 months or less, and the xenia still grows, I still prune and dispose of it, I would give it to fellow reefers but it doesnt ship or last too long outside of the tank for me. I have given quite few frags to my friends, all their tanks are overgrowing like weeds with it, both undata, and redsea.
As far as BB goes, well like Chris has stated it's all workable either ssb, dsb or bb or heck even quartz beds like they use down under. I like the BB for one major reason, no detritus, POS4, etc... hidden away in my sandbed to suddenly cause a bloom of hair algae or kill a fish if disturbed. I am a dumb reefer and that's obvious, although I kept sps alive and did battle and win hair algae with a dsb that was 7+ inches, I nonetheless had to tear down and rebuild to a simpler methodolgy. ie: barebottom tank, not the other barebottom that got me in trouble in grammar school on a bus ride. lol
My thinking is simple, like Bomber, just keep the flow high, and overskim wet. I am using a TUNZE9015 in a 55g, pulling nearly 1/4 cup of nog from the collection cup each day, unless I add selcon which as we all know can stop a skimmer dead at times.
I miss Anthony, Eric, and the others that all left, all good guys, I will state again I paid for this site, I like the people who have stayed and maybe its a gentler crowd minus the harrangs of arguments and tension brought on by opposing sides. We all here can agree bb is a simple and easy sollution to keeping sps, and that's good enough for me.
cheers
