Just askin lol

 

[david00061]

Sorry I missed your post.

I didn't want to deal with sand. I saw the starboard at Worldwide Corals in Orlando Fl. I liked the look
I use coralife salt mix.
I love the radions. I am st using gen 1 on the lights. I will more then likely up grade to the pros. I don't need to up grade the gen1 lights work great.

Ya WWC was awesome, I was there couple months ago. Where u get ur salt?

 

[david00061]

I ask my LFS to order me 16 200 gallon mix buckets at a time. That way we both get a good a deal.

 

[nitrox36]

[david00061]

I change at least 160 gallons every two weeks. Sometimes every week if I see algae.
