Hey, I'm really sorry to offend anyone out there about this BB look. I do not think they look bad at all. I'm just expressing my thoughts. I guess I'm more of realist with wanting a sand bottom so I won't bother you anymore, sorry.

Aquarists that use sand in their SPS tanks may not know any better, but this guy seems to be doing okay. It's ALMOST as nice as the BB tanks pictured in this thread.

Hey did anybody see that troll that ran through here?
Thats an awsome tank and we have all seen it before.Nobody ever said that Sand bottoms keeps corals from growing beautifully.I'm actualy surprised that it took this long for somebody to post that system with regards to SB success.
It also runs on all T-5 Lighting wich most say cant happen.Why dont you hear all the Metal Halide police crying about that? |

Perhaps you should surf RC more, as that tank has been discussed here for months.
The thread has split at least once so far: http://archive.reefcentral.com/forum...5&pagenumber=1 And your attempted slam has been duly noted. Thanks for adding something positive here

Sorry to interrupt the BB love-fest; I just wanted to educate some of the readers that might have been under the impression that the BB approach was necessary to have success with SPS corals, which couldn't be further from the truth. You can return to posting your pictures now. Ps: "Sand is for Sand Boxes!" and spectacular reef aquariums too! |

GSchiemer, why don't you just create a thread asking for pictures of Sand Bed tanks? That way we can get this thread back on track.
Thanks, Whiskey

Instead of worrying about what people think who read this thread , perhaps your own thread maybe even a forum on how you don't like BB tanks is in order. When I first met you I was impressed with how smart you are , now I'm wondering why you are spending so much time trolling a thread you don't like . There are many ways to accomplish a successful Tank , these are people who just like a different way then you . Cheers, Joe |

There's no need for personal insults. I used to think you were a smart guy too. Now I wonder why you still visit a forum on aquariums when you don't even own a tank! I understand and agree that there are many ways to have a successful reef aquarium and that's what I'm trying to illustrate. Let's not play innocent. This has been more than just a "picture thread." There have been many derogatory comments made against the use of sand in reef aquariums and statements about the superiority of BB tanks that simply aren't verifiable or true. Then there are the inflammatory tag lines, such as "sand is for sand boxes." It's okay to like BB tanks, but they're not the be-all and end-all in reef aquariums. BTW, my SSB reef aquariums have appeared in dozens of books and publications and I've contributed to these as well, so I have sort of "written a book," but thanks for the suggestion. |

This is how most of your post here come across. Of course there are tag lines like that , when you try a dsb and fail then find success with a BB there are bitter feelings . I don't think anyone is going to build a reef tank around a sig line do you ? Quote:

If you don't see why statements such as this are insulting then I don't know what to tell you. Being called a "troll" is not exactly complimentary. Neither is being told to go "start my own thread" and "write a book about it." As I explained, I was trying to offer some perspective because some of the comments by the BB advocates were misleading. As I've said many times, the BB methodology is a viable alternative for maintaining a reef aquarium, but it's just an alternative. Greg |

Beautiful tank! I am currently in the process of plumbing my CL for my 150. I am running a spray bar along the back. I should have water in it by this weekend!

Sand is for reef tanks
Quote:
Right now the hot "new" approach is this BB technique and DSB has somewhat fallen out of favor. And I put "new" in quotes because BB reef tanks were in vogue back in the 1980's before aquarists became educated in the benefits and care of a sand substrate. Why don't we let everyone get back to the pictures now? Greg |
