Wow I’m intrigued by the Reefwave, I can’t wait to hear your long term review. Tank looks amazing as always Freddie, I hope you and the family are well!

Rick,
Thanks so much, and we're doing fine.

Here's a short term review:

Help troubleshooting Redsea Reefwave 25

So I literally just bought a reefwave25 from Redsea, yesterday. Set it up with ReefBeat yesterday and was working great. Came downstairs this morning and it’s not alternating flow. The controller and reefbeat say that it is running my program just fine but the power head is just pushing water...

Was on the phone with Amanda for over an hour today... ;Hilarious

Update:
The new RW controller just hit FedEx.

re-scape is almost complete... , and fish are doing great.

One more shot of Aaron, for the. GoVols photo of the week

Still have not joined them at their home (since their first weekend home), but Heather shooting us pictures, does ease the pain of separation.

As always, thanks for tagging and please stay safe.

Freddie

Alright guys,

First off as what @Brew12 alluded to early in how to keep a BB floor nice and clean.
Came up with this setup some years back. and now it is back in action.

Bare Bottom / Detritus (DIY) Add On...

There are times to ask and times to share. Today is about sharing. Have owned the Python No Spill for decades and it's works great with keeping sand beds clean too. https://www.bulkreefsupply.com/python-no-spill-water-change-system.html?sku=209055&gclid=CNCs747T2OICFb3_4wcdJEEEmw But, I've...

So made the above thread and have seen that others have taken note and it's nice to be able to pass it up.

On to the scape:
Was trying to get it back like it was, but hit a road block, so had to vary off, but that's how the new tunnel came about.

I also added two new trachys and so far the Regal angel could care less.

This is one and the colors are correct, with peaches and all, but my cell phone can not pick out those colors.

So, this is where the scape stands today.

Looking good freddie!

 

[GoVols]

Looking good freddie!

Thanks, Rich

I'm pleased with it and happy that the Regal did not attack the trachys.

lol
Got some detritus to suck out, but will hit that on the next water change.

Thanks, Steven
I wish the cell phone would pull out the colors, but WWCs did me good.

I think at some point I'll head to Adam (BattleCorals) for an acro or two.

If you want to keep your bb floors, overflows and sumps nice and clean and you do water changes this is the way to go:

Filter sock and skimmer neck has been cleaned.

Click the blue arrow and work your way up, but that Amazon hard pipe in the first post of the day has really came in handy.

Awesome colors on trachs ! Better than those pics that pic of your grandson stating at his bear that’s a heart warmer for sure. Here’s to getting a handle on the pandemic so you can giv em a squeeze or two or 20 !

I think It could use less light . Open mouth and visible skeleton ridges on the peripheri means it needs more love. I would bring her down and spot feed .

Thanks,

It had just fell over to the one side, when I took that shot.

Kinda freaked me out too, until I noticed that it had slipped

It has been mounted, with tight mouths, and billowing back like it was.

Last shot that took, after it was mounted solid, back into it's place

and was billowing more right before lights out, but thanks so much for pointing it out.

You can get filters for the phone, or use Snapseed as well. Doesn't really matter tho, your tank is GORGEOUS!!!!

amen, Ray

It is sure hard not to just jump in the car and take a visit.

On a good note:
