Let me look in my shed...I know I gave away a Aqua 1.5 HOB last year...I think I have a Remora Pro that should work...but might need a pump, and a couple more...you can have it....

Just accept.
That's OK.
I've given away lots of stuff over the years. It does no good in the garage-there's no tank in there.

Ok a remora is way to expensive to just give away at least let me pay for some of it. LOL this is too kind.

Your not wrong sitting in the garage is js space that can be used for other reasons. My garage currently has a broken mower I'm gonna repair to sell to make some money for my tanks.

Cup is full.
Green means it's pulling algae out of the water, which you have a lot of.
Pull the cup off and dump it out.
See the rubber gasket there?
That keeps the cup where you put it so when you move it set the band there.
Start with the cup as high as you can but not so high that water runs out the bottom.
If you need to turn it off, do it.
