[michelle's ocean fantasy]

Yes I will be getting away from the bio balls- this picture was taken the night I got the tank. "BUT" all the LFS we have gone to so far have told my husband that they use BOTH the bio balls and the fuge- so hence we got into another debate. He just wants to make sure my setup is the best- and he is going with what he 'sees' working for the stores. Each time we go somewhere- I open up their doors, look behind their tanks- refugium and bioballs. I have put the bio balls in for now, just to get my tank started. (and now what we are looking at is to replace the wet/dry that came with the tank. He has checked out proclear aquatics,in Jacksonville. I eventually want to replace everything with new if it needs to be- so far, just the plumbing and filter for now. Then I am planning on using the wet/dry I originally got with the tank and turning that into a refuigum. Also what I plan on doing is taking out the bio balls here and there and replacing with LR rubble each time I do a water change. Just starting off, and wanting to take it SLOW so as not to jump into this blindly, AND not to wipe my $$$ down the drain.You know?
