Once again congratulations the tank looks amazing:still_dreaming: it has also been a great experience for me to run BB now for almost 6 years on all of my systems except for my nano.
Keep up the great work and also I will love to see the tank in person next time I go to Vegas if possible. :bigsmile:

Your tanks are awesome aswell! For sure bro, when your gonna make a stop in Vegas let me know- I'm 15 minutes from the strip-:D

Absolutely stunning! Now that you've taken out the macro, do you expect any problems with nutrients?

KEEPERZ · Jun 3, 2009

Jay-thank you-my macro never grew for me, it just existed and collected detritus-I changed lights,added more flow still nothing-its been 6 months now and all is pretty good but the battle of keeping nutrients down is not different then before-same same

Fish n' Frags · Jun 3, 2009

Your tank is amazing Joe! Very nice, maybe i can make a trip out with some frags and visit ya. Business write offs are fun :)

KEEPERZ · Jun 3, 2009

Matt thank you!-book it- a vegas trip is always allowed when it comes to write offs!-I finally get to see Marks stuff on Saturday, he said everything is doing great, are you making the trip up to the OC for the swap this weekend by chance? Your chalice tank is unreal man-

Fish n' Frags · Jun 3, 2009

Thanks man, with the help of Reef Empire i just put up a new 240. Thats is the new chalice tank. :)

How long have you had your Maculiceps?

KEEPERZ · Jun 3, 2009

Maculiceps is in for about a year now-slightly mean but nothing compared to my powder blue-likes to suck on my acros after I feed but other then that has been a good reef fish-
