I would like to see your BB tanks and equipment. If you could please post pics of your setup, and describe how/what your daily/weekly routines are. I have searched through a few BB threads and I would like to see more details and have some feedback from you about this style. I have an 210 AGA RR tank that has braces so I would have to cut the starboard. Does anyone have multiple pieces of starboard in your tank? Does your eye catch where the pieces come together? Thanks for reading and post up some pics of your setup. Here is an video of HDTV's tank from some time ago to get the ball rolling.

Thanks for posting your tank looks awesome. Skimmer looks great, and the flow in your tank looks serious.

Is that a tease or compliments :). It still need lots of work to get my tank up the speed. I have been running Zeo for 3 yrs. I stopped in Jan, also did many other things to it. My corals aren't in a good mood at this time :)

It doesn't give the same affect as before. In another work, the basic 4 and supplement aren't as strong as it first generation. I got great result before with just basic 4. Now it came out with many other supplement, it hard to keep track "unless you are a chemist". Plus i am getting ready to go oversea for duty. I don't want my wife to take care of the Zeovit while im gone.
