all you GSP owners!

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
I make a mini-fuge by using liverock rubble in my HOB boxes. They do get clogged & need to be linsed out every couple of months. Difficult to be used as a fuge that way, because you loose all the pods.
 
thats an idea! i was actually thinking last night about if i took out the media what i would replace it with and i was thinking either bioballs or maybe live rock rubble. it would only be for a month or two while i get my sump/refuge progressing. still a little confused how i should do the sump/refuge with sectioning it and all. could i essentially just have a tank underneath with lots of live rock, a DSB but not sectioned off with ballasts like other sump/refugiums as long as there is a nice water flow through it? i would like to have another tank underneath with no other decor or substrate other than live rock and live sand and maybe make it my saltwater ghost shrimp breeding area or maybe one or two small fish and a coral or two
 
that would be pretty sweet but the site only has the HOB for up to 60 gallons i have a 75, and i think it would be pretty cool if i could do the tank underneath, maybe like a 30-55 gallon tank as my sump/refuge, have my skimmer still on my tank since i have a HOB one already until i can upgrade to an in sump skimmer, and i kind of like having the skimmer up high so i can keep a regular eye on the waste level so it doesnt fill up quickly on me like it tends to once in a while if the flow adjustor got set up a little higher if i bump it. but i would like it to be a tank that you can look at and it be nice also with live rock live sand etc. so when someone asks to see what im using for my filter i just wind up showing them another tank that just sits below the display tank in a covered stand :)
 
Just sold my GSP not too recently, but it was in a 30 cubed, full salt. alone. HoB double Biowheel.
 
they are little hoovers! i have two of them and when i throw a frozen mussell cube in there they go crazy and its destroyed within 30 seconds most days. then my little damsels clean up the mess that floats around from the mussell
 
no one gives anyone any problems so far. i have a blue devil, yellowtail and a four stripe in with my two GSP and they are always swimming around together. the only agression, but no fin nipping whatsoever, is coming from the yellowtail once in a while raising his fins to the blue devil and just shooing him away then they go back about their business. i was worried about the GSP going after other fish so my trial was a yellowtail first, no problems, they didnt even look at the fish twice, same with the four stripe and then the blue devil. the only thing they looked at funny(and i mean literally funny because they look all crosseyed when looking at something close) was the chocolate chip starfish, but that was when i first put it in there. after checking it out they leave it alone. sometimes take the silverside from him though :( so i have to keep an eye on that so i make sure the starfish eats
 
oh and nice job with the help on that guys 15,000 gallon tank i think it was, down in florida. i was checking out that thread and basically showed everyone i work with, i was in awe when i saw that tank and wish i lived in the area just so i can help with that monster of a tank. would love to see it one day if i ever wind up going down there on vacation again
