Good evening everyone. Sorry I haven’t been around much lately. I made quite a bit of progress on getting the sump plumbing done. Kathy and I have been fairly busy of late which is good. It keeps my hands out of the tank just enough for things to stabilize a bit. :zany-face:

I got another 5 hermit crabs today. They’re doing great so far. I want to add another 10 or 15. I’m not going to go nuts with them since I have probably 50 brittle stars and at least 13 asterina stars. Tomorrow I’m going to make some RODI and mix up some saltwater.

The last couple of joints will be cured by tomorrow evening. That’s good since I’ll have to wait until Saturday to start filling up both the DT and the sump.

At least the plumbing is assembled now. I just have to wait for the overflow box (which now won’t ship until next week because the manufacturer is backed up). Once it’s in and sealed I’ll get some filter sock holders (or maybe make my own) and set up one of my emperor 400’s so I can run decent carbon. Eventually I might try running a GFO/carbon mix in there. Most importantly I’ll be getting my skimmer in about 3 weeks. Once that’s in, the sump setup project will be complete. This setup will be a real game changer

Can y’all confirm if these are Dino’s? Can’t zoom in any close to ID
Oh I can't tell the difference between a Duncan and an anemone. But if they look like this then yep.

Does anyone have a kalk stirrer sitting around? I'd like to possibly go this route instead of 2 part for a while to see if it helps with ph
Have you thought about a co2 scrubber?

To be fair, my photos suck right now. I need to buy a better filter for my iPhone.

Yeah I agree with @StatelineReefer
yours look more like sesame seeds then round. Plus based on the snot description.
Check out Mack's reef here and on fb. Good info lots to read and learn if that's your thing but most important the right way to treat each kind. Osteo is easy from what I remember. Uv as it's one that's in the water column. I think Lost had these too.
