What happened to the BB forum??

Whats up with that??

The BB tank fad must be over eh????

Not a fad at all! I still prefer BB over sandbed of any kind.

I think when Geoff stopped posting/responding it kind of slowed down.

My thread will be more active soon too. It would be too bad to see this forum goes completely inactive.
That's why I'll keep my threads in this forum instead of the General Forum

I am converting my DSB to BB. I have (I believe) all the plan sorted out thanks to SeanT. I don't think BB is over either !

BB isn't a hype, it is a way of reefkeeping that exists and will be in the future next to other methods of reefkeeping.
