Hey everyone!
Hope you had a good visit at Brians and hope you had a chance to check out his set up... it was a rather un-organized meet.. sorry bout that.. I am not good a structuring ... another reason to get some fellow officers to help me get my crap together ;) My husband suggested that tperhaps to prevent something like this happening again, when we do a tank tour, take the first 15 min or so for the person to hit the details and highlights of their set up.. maybe using a chekclist so things do not get left out..
Anyway... if you did not notice or hear, Brian uses a plenium in his set ups.... something like the DSB theory except he has a dead air space physically created under his sand bed....
I wonder Brian how far down does your starfish and horseshoe crab go... do you have to worry about them disturbing the anaerobic layer or do you ahve a barrier to prevent that?
Also I liked the way he had his sump is setup with the refugium in it... hope you all got to take a good look... feel free to ask Brian ? if you have them.. I am sure he does not mind....
John also pointe dout his new light.. the reflector is 'dimpled' so to speak and he said it reflects about 30% more light.. and the fans on both ends of the light are a good idea as well...... minor investments to prevent future headaches so to speak......
