As there are many spectacular tanks in the world, that's a great compliment. Thanks!

I guess it's time to frag when the coral grows out of the water.

Yeah, looks about time for that guy. I need to figure out a good way to frag one of my acros that grew into a rock that I can't remove. No underwater saws lol.

I guess you'll just have to send me a nice 3-4" frag you know.

The tank looks as beautiful as ever Greg!

Trying out my first Oxydator. Old school, but pretty cool technology and dirt simple.

Ok, I'm not familiar with that one, I may need an explanation of implementation and potential benefits achieved

So, simple way of more oxygen into the water column. More oxygen is better for everything so we are looking for increase of beneficial bacterial growth?

For years they used these for discus and seahorses. A very safe way to raise ORP in fresh or saltwater. It uses 6% H202 but only introduces 02 and water. This will have several benefits. Google Oxydator.

Albert Theil recommended it to me.

Sometimes I love being right . More oxygen is always a good idea, but can normally be simply solved by the powerhead at the surface. I didn't think about the seahorse tank though.

I want to say that this talks about oxygen's importance in the home aquaria. Don't recall...on way out door for work but wanted to share it.

Seems like an interesting concept, but if I read correctly their largest unit works for up to 106 gallons, are you going to do a trial with one unit, use multiple units or devise a DIY that matches the demands of your system

This is a test. I generally am very cautious about trying anything new for fear it will set me back, but this seemed very controllable and with little likelihood it would cause a problem. I run 450 gallons, so I'm trying two of the A units first. If I like the results I'll add a few more.
