I agree. I would gladly pay a premium for healthy livestock.

I remember reading this once before...I just don't know. It puts me off about having to use additives to have a reef and not change the water. I'd also like to see actual pictures of one set up, more close shots.

It is interesting isn't it? Julian writes a good article here. I have to take his opinion as to coral growth he describes at Monaco Aquarium. But it makes sense to me. The Berlin method has worked for me for decades, so I'm not ready to jump at this anytime soon, but it is interesting.

You know it holds weight since Julian wrote it...I just don't see any way to switch to the method on an established aquarium due to 6 months of scraping algae. I think that setup time will put people off.

If I'm running a light 24/7 on my Fuge with a 5-6 inch Dsb, will I have problems with my o2 levels at night still?

As long as you have good gas exchange you'll be fine. As the article said, a surface skimming overflow and a power head aimed at the surface does the trick.

Cool, good deal then. Thx

I would like to try this method in the future by incorporating it into an existing system. Making a plenum bottom refugium added on later and seeing if the nitrates lowered would be interesting.

Interesting...

Saw some corals today. Will post soon.

 

[Sniperhank]

What kind of corals?

 

[Gregcoyote]

I'll show you tomorrow.

 

[Keithhjs]

Ooh a surprise! I can't wait.

 

[Gregcoyote]

No big deal. I just got back from traveling and am too tired to take pictures.
Peace

Where were you?

 

[Gregcoyote]

Went to Arizona, found corals I couldn't afford there. My son got me Christmas corals and I bought a few of these from a local guy. Got three different colors for $25.

Beautiful!

 

[Sniperhank]

That is great color!

What coral is that? A mushroom?
