Wow !! I am so happy to have won this Cd-Rom. I just set up my first

am sure that the Cd-Rom will be very useful and I am sure that the folks at
my saltwater club will be relieved that I have another source of information
lol.

loaded with helpful info and pictures.

Hi Robert, I am very happy to read you this morning.
Very happy and also very surprised because If I made an entry on your Guest
Book, it was just in order to post a mail, at your intention, and absolutely
not because I wanted to win something.
It's a real pleasure today, to receive your mail and I would like to thank
you very much.
Please excuse my english language, it's not a natural exercise for me
because I am french.
Best regards and many thanks again.

rock in the sump as part of the filter on some fish site I have seen on the web some people have had live rock in their sumps as part of there filtration system as well as their protein skimmer in
the sump.Also if you don't mind answering this question is I have a fluidized bed filter from otto on my tank too. what do you think of them and do you think that they work?

Comments: Great site.The web has been a wonderful source of information and inspiration. I am attempting a Berlin micro-reef. I have many years freshwater tropical experience but was
raised in the days when marines seemed to be horribly fragile and expensive. Technology and thinking has obviously moved on as no-one would have dreamed of a 10 gallon marine set-up when I was
young.

experience but was raised in the days when marines seemed to be horribly fragile and expensive. Technology and thinking has obviously moved on as no-one would have dreamed of a 10 gallon marine

lights and I can order the live sand and rocks. Ultimately I am going to see how well I do and then probably try a 40 gallon mini-reef. I figure if I can do it small then big should be easier. Thank
you for your site and all the information therein.

going on 3 years now with an mtc doser, works very good.Couldn't get calcium up using kalk (low evaporation)and it also got to be a pain mixing and dripping every night.Not really sure what I'm going to
use on my new 100g tank.I just finished the plumbing and will be ordering the sand in a week or 2.B-ionic will cost too much for 2 tanks.I have a 6g resivor with float valve to replace evaporated water and thought about using lime water in that but you and other people have said that lime water has too be used within 24
hours after it has been mixed.
