Reef Spotlight - November 2012 - "MarvinsReef"

I've said it before, and I'll say it again... Awesome tank man! Congrats!
:hammer:

Thanks again man. I'm really looking forward what you come up with, with your tank. 1smile1


as of right now, this tank will be in "cruise control". I'm testing out a few ideas about the BTA's that didn't make it for me. since I never really determined what caused them to not make it. I have a few theories that hopefully I can prove in the coming months by not doing too much with the tank so the parameters are somewhat consistent. I hope one of my theories is wrong though.
 
Thanks! I'm just taking my build slowly and patiently. I hope what I do works out. :) My wife is very picky!

You definitely got my interest peaked with the BTA issues... I hope you get it worked/figured out, bro!

I have owned RBTA's before and I know they can be finicky. Some folks simply can't keep them, no matter what they do; so kudos to you for your creation.

I have a buddy with a ritteri tank... man... you 'nem guys are crazy to me. :D

oh a Ritteri (Mag)... how I wish I can find a nice clone locally. even then, I think I would be scared to mix any other kind of nem along with my BTA's. but I know Rev has an awesome one with his BTA's. :)

let's just say that if my theory is right, my tank's color will change dramatically.
 
Congrats Marvin. Your tank has always been amazing!! Nice writeup by the way, it was great to read more about your tank.

Bubbly BTA's! I dunno why mine are more bubbly than some. even my big ones (8"+) are bubbly, esp when more blue lights are on.

Another great update...... The vid is great, iPhone 4S ennnnh ;) I have it as well and wish I could get true 1080p HD video from it. I'm waiting to do a video until I get the GoPro Hero3 as my video skills need all the help they can get lol ;)
