Wow, stuff is looking really good. I can't believe how quickly stuff has grown in!
Stuff is encrusting nicely, great post as always.
Another SWC Xtreme, here's mine after feeding this morning. About 10 days since it has gone into the system. [IMG]
Definately this. Swc was the best low end price range skimmer I've used. Beat my AquaC ev-120, RO 1000INT, and several other extremely crap skimmers...
I've done a full bleach bath on all the rock in my system. It was completely fine. Just treat it like it is straight dry rock. In fact I would make...
Pretty cool. I might use this instead of just going off memory LOL. Thanks for the share!

Welcome to 3reef! Glad to see someone from across the pond;)

I honestly don't know all the troubles. I have had mine for ~ 1 month now with no problems, it starts/restarts fine, is quiet, and works quite well...
I live right by Vivid and their selection is great, however it all and I do mean all is imported/maricultured somewhere chopped up and turned around....

Saw a local guy running one of these, his system was clean and the skimmate looked really nice, I still like the SWC better however. Just my 2 cents.
Ah yes, I was looking via my phone in the McDonald's drive through. LOL My bad, definitely bad still, I am assuming the same kalk paste trick would...
Looks like aptasia.
They will continue to feed off of detritus if there is nothing coral related they would prefer to eat. This may be one of the guys you are...
:o I just dropped ~200 bucks @ MD tonight. Wheres my shirt?! Haha Glad to see it all worked out, I knew this was just not in MD's style.
Happy Birthday Matt!!!
