It has been full for some time now. He was working on some top secret stuff.

Everyone needs a break now and then. He did a great deal of work in a short time. Hopefully he will give us an update soon.

I lost track of this thread back before the split nad caught back up since the split. Did you ever add the group of anthias Bart ? I ask because we are considering adding 10 bartletts to our little 380g reef

He has posted results on our la reef club. Not sure if I can post a link or not. I know he had some problems with ick and most of the aquarium contents died. I think he started again.

You can find our club, or get me permission to post a link.

Not sure if I was supposed to post a link to another site? Here it is: http://www.lareefclub.com/forum/view...5552&start=345

If for whatever reason I am not supposed to Mods please delete my post.

It seems that Bart got frustrated. Hopefully the second start will be better and he will be back here on RC.

Bart if for any reason you don't want this here, please let me know and I will delete...

Well, you have to log in on that site to use it. Can you not give us down and dirty summary? We are very eager to see what's up and maybe we can help him out. Or perhaps he took some guff on RC and decided to move on. His system was indeed very ambitious for a first timer, as was mine, so i can relate to the trials and tribulations he has had.

ok if all of you is really interested what happened to my main display...
heres how it went down fom the start when display was done

1. tons of livestocks and corals were purchased
2. had ich outbreak so few of my prize fishes had died
3. few days after green acro had RTN after few weeks in display so i panic and removed all of corals and brought them to ____
3. remaining corals that was alive were given to my friend
4. drain the main display, frag and sump completely and removed whatever fish i could save and then start all over again
5. fuge has been setup for about a month now and will be tied into main system in a few weeks
6. calcium reactor will be plumb in next, then 2nd fuge. making sure i dial the reactor in correctly for couple months before any corals are introduced
7. i will be adding more flow soon as vortech come out with 1" adapter, since 2 CL OM 4-way w/sequence 6000 wasnt enough

thanks guys for all your comments


This is a quote from Bart's post on Oct 25th. I edited a couple of lines about where he took some of his corals so I don't start any discussions here...

Well, as we all know, this is just simple newbie issues. Hopefully he has enough support close to him that his spirits will rebound. He definitely has a knack for it, and just rushed stocking the tank. But if I were him, I wouldn't hold my breath for a 1" version of the Vortech.

I have had equally horrific dealings with an LFS so I can empathize with his feelings on that subject.

Sorry, but I will no longer have updates and as for the main display with all the equipments have been completely removed and will be sold in pieces. If anyone is interested please PM me for details. Reef keeping is just too hard and I decided to quit.

wow such a nice tank....and equipment and plumbing. Well it's hard to own a big reef tank since bigger tank have bigger problem. Good luck with your sale.
