Custom Tanks

I never understand the bare bottom look or the (non)science behind it.
Most of these folks usually quit after 3 years.

I’ve been happy with Miracle. They built both my previous 360G(72”x48”x24) and this current 345G(84”x34”x28”). I wouldn’t say it’s aesthetically perfect but it’s very well built and that’s more important.
I remember your tanks and can’t believe you still have the same avatar after all these years!
 
I’ve seen your tanks and agree that it’s all subjective. People will blame anything for their shortcomings. Sometimes it’s blaming it on the wrong thing. My old school tanks ran from ne with a 4-5 inch deep sand bed for years. Only reason I’m running bare bottom is because of running a smaller tank. 16 inches tall isn’t enough to run the flow necessary for sps without disturbing the sandbed.
I think I remember you Chris!
 
Now that's really is uncalled for grow up! You guys wanna be stuck in the past like this club and not accept deep sand beds are not recommended any more keep it up and to your selfs. Don't recommended it to new reefers as no one does it any more because it's proven not to work. Still running your under gravel filter?
I am appalled at that comment and it should not be acceptable and very disappointed in the CLUB FOR ALLOWING IT!

How about letting the moderator know this that seems to know all but how to act and acutely do his role imo should be removed as a moderator as I made a vote in the past and all his.buddies won't let that happen!
 
Oh I forgot moderators have blinders and can only do what they choose. Moderator comments after banned post stays for 4 days with blatantly broken rules dude needs to retire and understand he's completely bias
 
*****Rant****Not sure why people can't ever get along here, it's a forum to share information. The post was edited, was it done in a timely manner, maybe not. We're all volunteers as you know @Spaceman , the constant back and forth and witch hunt really is getting old. There are plenty of moderators on here, it's a matter of when and if they actually log.on or look at reported posts. Everyone is entitled to their own opinions. Anyone want to become President of this club, feel free to PM me as it's been taxing hours to say the least. I've spent 10's of thousands of dollars on an upgrade along with high end equipment and don't even know not the hobby anymore because people can't keep their comments to themselves.****End Rant****

By the way @ReeferMedic, welcome back to BRS, not much has changed other than people's attitudes and some fancy gadgetry.
 
@BiGGiePauls33 i would definitely say you need a break you have done great but your way over the club and hobby. Taking a break you will enjoy the hobby again. I get accused of being on drugs and it's to much for you to handle edited I get it's volunteer but it does come with many benefits.

You do you. My tanks were exceptional. DSB in every one including my frag tanks. They were up and running for over a decade. I’m sure there are plenty of people still here that saw them before I broke them down. Don’t try to shove your sh** down anyone’s throat. We all have our own way. I was very successful and will be even better this time WITH dsb in every tank.

Thanks!
 
Well, with all this ***stuff*** , the question still remains. Those of you who still use sand, what do you use? We used Southdown back in the day but I don’t think that’s available anymore.

If this is directed at me, you need to take a pill dude. If not, my apologies.

I run bare bottom the past 5-6 years but have used Tropic Eden reef flakes and meso flakes mixed together with food results

Looking for a cheap sand that comes from the ocean /beaches. Southdown was the big thing years ago but I believe they stopped farming it. It was dry and came from the tropics somewhere. It was pure white and less than $10 for a 40 pound bag.

Yeah I haven't seen it since 2008ish. I think I got a bag from Mauro around then before he moved to Florida.

Those days are unfortunately gone. Everything's expensive now. I could be wrong but isn't fiji pink from Caribsea farmed ?
