between pages 18 and 19 the pictures show u switched from GYRE's back to MPs for flow. Most people are going the other way may I ask why you chose to go back?

For no reason what so ever I had a large box show up at my front door with all kinds of Ecotech goodies in there, include the 3 QD.
I have the gyre's running on my frag tank, still great pumps with awesome flow.

I'm a pilot, can I come after my shift? [emoji12] flying Cali to New York to Houston.

You're welcome to set that bird down and drink a beer and load up some frags, Merry Christmas from the Diesel.

Ben ,

I have a question,about the bandit.... I got Nick to sell me the bandit he has in the 400 sps display in the front of the store, consider myself lucky, he is eating like a champ. Put him straight into my 150 gallon refurgium. No quarinetine , not needed nick had him for 4 months and he is fat and strong and healthy..

Of coarse when I got home ( impulse buy- but it was fate went straight into the trap at the store ... And could not resist). Seems some people have had some bad luck with their bandit going for sps... I remember reading one of your posts that your bandit picks on your sps , and you don't have much polyp extension ( during the day) ? Am I mistaken ? Has he destroyed any colonies / frags or created large amounts of damage ?

Diesel · Dec 12, 2015

Nice buy, congrats.
don't worry about the SPS more like LPS.
Not sure if Nick has some LPS in there but they seems to go more after that than the sticks.
I'm not worried about my PE as SPS feed them self during the night for about 80% any ways.
They won't kill or damage your SPS.
How big is it?

charleslotz · Dec 13, 2015

Thank you,

4-5 inch ,... Worried about my emporer bullying him.... We will see in a couple weeks I will release a regal and bandit at the same time.... Or put him in a acclimitation box first for a couple days.... Stressful.

Huge thumbs up for a beautiful tank. My 220 has similar rock work with a wall backsplash. I love this look

Thanks so much for letting me drop by! It was a pleasure getting to meet you in person after having gotten to talk so many times here on R2R.

I enjoyed the great conversation, and Wow! Your tank is amazing! Even more stunning in person than in the pictures.

I was absolutely planning on taking a pic with you and the tank, but got so into the conversation that I totally forgot about it! :mad: Oh well. We'll get that one next time I come through.
