20 Long Mixed Reef

It is cyano, due to your tank being new. It will go away as the tank completes its cycle. Don't worry about it.

Franchinone is a traitor, I'm from tuscaloosa and he ditched us, be careful bc it could happen to you guys. He preached about teamwork, but he's all abou tmoney.

Does Alabama still have a football team? Do you really blaim him for leaving one of the worst teams in the SEC?

One of the worst teams in the SEC? 2-0 this year and we beat OLE MISS 28-7. FYI Alabama has more national championships than all of the other SEC schools combined. Mabye not Noter Dame but it depends on what records you look at. We have been to more bowl games and have had more bowl victories than any other school in the country and that is a fact. You guys have a good program at Georiga and I think your coach kicks ass, but don't count the tide out, we are just gettting out of a football drought. How many schools do you know that have had 3 different head coaches while on probation and have still managed to keep an okay record. Watch this season I think you may be suprised-

Ok record yes maybe( 10 wins in 99 and 02, but 3 wins in '00 and 4-9 last year). But just a few years ago yall were a preseason top 5 and went on to lose your opener to UCLA. Tradition is great and yall have a great tradition, but tradition isn't helping yall on the recruiting end anymore just like ND and atleast they have a high academic standard. And look what your new coach did to yalls tradition by renaming the Sylvester Croom award, I know it became the Bart Star Award,and then changed it back, what a joke! Good luck on yalls season this year and hopefully yall can finish middle of the road in the west

thanks, im not into who gave who what award and whatever or like Phil Pulmer accustions of Alabama's recruiting violations. The key thing with tradition, all though I am modern, not a dumb country redneck, "I am from Miami" is that traditional schools such as USC, Notre Dame, Oklahoma, Michigan, and Alabama may have a few bad years but they won't be down for long. I don't like Notre Dame but they did beat Michigan last weekend. Also with Alabama becoming as Winning as it was in the past- It will most likely never happen again because there are too many good teams in the SEC. I am a senior at Alabama and look forward to getting out of this state, but the schools best attribute is def. the football-

UCLA went on to play for the National Championship the year they beat us I think and at least finished in the top 5- were not Auburn. . . lol

 

[edwar050]

Sorry we messed your thread up aggie, and good luck with football sorry I came off so harsh on Fran but that was basically the gist of it- he could leave you guys any second, most coaches are like that now but he was known as a rebuilding coach, mabye he will settle down and stay?

 

[liverock27]

yeah, i apologize about getting off topic too, but as any good college football fan i just had to add my 2 cents.

 

[edwar050]

live, what you got in your 30 gallon and 10 nano? I have 2 ocellaris clowns with white sabae anenomie, red mandarin dragonet, and a blue damsil in my 30 long and nada in the 10.

 

[liverock27]

My 30g has a breding pair of Marron clowns and a LMB when it comes to fish. A leather Toadstool has hosted them and they lay their eggs on a LR behing the powerhead. Other than that I have 5 featherdusters, all but one came on my 45lbs of life rock and about 7 sponges that hitchhiked their way into my tank. My 10g is cycling right now with 16lbs of LR and 20lbs of LS in the main tank. The 20gL sump/refug has a 12g refug that has a 2" LS base and about 6lbs of LR/base rock. The 10g is going to become a Nano reef. It has a 96w powerquad lighting system. The refug will also have a small powerhead with caulerpa lagea(sp?) and Chaetomorpha(sp?) from acouple buddies tank, along with a cup of LS from each to help seed my sand. I am only planning on having one clown(hopefully a B&W) and some easy to keep coral. I live in a very small apartment and this is about all i can keep in my room.

 

[edwar050]

Same here I would love a larger tank at least a 55 gallon but the problem is the apartment size- sounds like you got two really nice tanks though. My biggest problem is that my lfs petsuppliesplus rarely carries hardy corals and I am not sure about buying corals online, what do you guys think about salwater fish's multi rock?
