Where did you get your fish from? They looked really good in your qt pics and also jessys pics.

Adding those fish added some activity to the upper level of the reef. The filefish is too cute.

Are you releasing after lights out Marc? That seems to work the best for me.

Nice Marc! Yes would love to see a FTS with all the fish swimming around.

And hopefully, leave more time for podcasts.

Just run airline tubing off of the ATO dispensing hose, that way a little spittle of RODI water gets pumped through the venturi to dissolve the buildup. It stops the foam production for 13 seconds which is nothing compared to reduced efficiency from buildup. Hands free too.

An airstone skimmer needs the airstones replaced.

No, I just wanted it fixed. I've got pictures from years ago when I talked about this in the past, but I didn't try to find them. There's probably nearly a gig of images on melevsreef to wade through.

What, no pics? I feel cheated!

That wouldn't happen if you had an airstone skimmer!

Just purchased the new pump to automate my water changes. So excited!

Just don't leave them in water permanently though, they will begin to chip. BTW I'm Jason

Please let me know.

Never heard that. I cant see why it would die when you are only dripping the water out of it at a very slow rate. The water that is in the vessel has to be in there much longer than 30 minutes. I'll have to check that out. Doesn't make sense to me.

A friend of mine in Austin has the same problem. The pumps overheat.

A UPS like you use for a computer to provide power during an outage. I've heard that denitrators need one because if it is without power for over 30 minutes, the bacteria within dies.

I don't know what you mean by UPS??

I don't fill mine up because of the aquabee pumps they have on them. The achilles heel of the system.
In five years I've gone through 4 pumps and just bought another one. They need to find a pump that can handle the amount of media they suggest. Aquabee can't.

I've noticed with Deltec calcium reactors, they usually don't have more than a 1/3 of the chamber filled with media. Why is that?

Your gear is doing a great job keeping up. Do you have a UPS connected to your Korallin reactor?

That's a great looking tank, thanks for sharing. What kind of lighting if you don't mind.

The tilefish ate some mini mysis tonight.

I do a 25 gallon w/c every other week. I run a very large skimmer and a bio-denitrator as well to keep my water pristine for the acros.
