Re: 240

Sorry, booze was right. The ,arco rock is crazy. I love it. I have heard about many people finding tons of dead stuff in the rock. Mine is very clean. I have not found anything.
Also, this rock was going to be used for base rock. But I am going to leave much of it exposed, as it has better shape than alot of my live rock.

Excellent, Michael! I'm looking forward to seeing your tank lit.

Have you done any more 'scaping? If so, how 'bout some pics?

Well, not really. I need to order some acrylic rods so I can fabricate my columns. Dont worry as soon as I get it finished I will post many pictures.

I know one thing, I have one heck of a skimmer. Since Saturday I have filled the collection cup six times. And it is not watery clear skimmate, it is thick nasty, brown skimmate. This skimmer is crazy.

Re: 240

Heh mike, what do you think is making that skimmer go so nuts--the marco perhaps? I've been curing mine with a Remora Pro for a week now and changing the cup twice a day!

I've heard that those plastic coathangers can make better rods because they are a little flexible. Just a thought.

Re: 240

I only have two pieces of marco rock in my tank right now. The skimmer was pulling the same amount of junk out when I just had LR in there. And the LR is very fresh. I think that these Lifereef skimmers are just that good. I have an ASM on my 100 gallon, and you cant even compare the Lifereef to it. I NEVER get THIS excited about a product, but in this case I am,

Re: 240



These are tears of Joy man. My light shipped too. Your tank is going to be awesome man. I can't wait.

One thing about PFO is I hope they weren't rushed to get these lights out. I'd rather wait and have them working right then for them to rush to get them out.
