No, that was a purchase. Was complaining about the Reef Factory on another thread and the Simplicity came up. Spoke with the guys at Simplicity to get to know it better and got a discount on a unit that I'm going to test out with the liquid feeding system--nice thing is that it has one more head than the Reef Factory, so I can split the more viscous ROE and less viscous Oyster Feast/Phyto Feast into separate heads.

Edit: I'm quite excited about it. Used to be things like "trip to Malta" was the excitement. This is the Pinnacle now, a fourth dosing head and I'm ready to dust off the journal and get back to writing.
Ok so I was hoping to get an update/review on how you like the simplicity doser. I am looking to get 2 4heads to start automating my dailies for the Shine method. The price is right at BRS now and they seem to be the only place that sells them.

Alas! Another downside of an office tank is that medium-large projects get out in hold when things get busy.

I need a new 4way t barb splitter before I can install it and I need to scrape out all the silicone that's holding the current tubing/wiring. Alternatively I can try to find out what kind of wiring connects the two devices and just use the Reef Factory brick that's glues in to connect the Simplicity... That seems easiest if I can get a female-to-Reef-Factory / male-to-Simplicity cable. :thinking-face:

Yanked this guy out. Turns out it has boring spionid worms, at least 2 or 3. Hopefully they've stayed put and not gone elsewhere in the tank...

Unfortunately, this acro didn't make it through the weekend. I opened the tupper and got a full face whiff of 3-day old shrimp buffet. Water was cloudy and the acro was white. Good news is most of the spionid worms were dead except one that was sticking out but retracted when I started pouring out the stank water. Bye bye little green acro. I hardly knew ye.

Pavona must be pretty happy. Rarely see its polyps fully extended like this.

With sweepers like that I would be surprised if it wasn't hydnaphora. My pavona very rarely if ever does that.

It's trying to eat something. Mine only does that when it's attacking the Cyphastrea next door.
