I just ordered one last night. The same model @AKL1950 has is $40 on amazon right now after 20% off coupon

I use mine in my camper too.

I'm definitely going to use it in my car more. I couldn't believe how high it got last time. I've always read it could be partially why people get sleepy in the vehicle. Yup cracking a window could be all that is needed.

You’ve got a 7 year old kid still wearing diapers? I think it’s time to potty train.

Hey, I've got a 62 year old man working for me that I'm pretty sure still wears diapers. Sometimes you just gotta let them...

Dino update.

I’ve been noticing that my Dino’s are pretty sparse in the areas I’ve been directly vaccuuming, but in the corners they are getting worse. What I was doing was vacuuming the stuff I could reach and then stirring the rest of the sand up until I couldn’t see the Dino’s anymore. Yesterday I took the Syphon tube off and just used the hose to get deep in the corners. I pulled a lot of sand out but today they were almost nonexistent. Did another one today to touch up a few spots. I’ve also increased my silicate dosing but I can say for sure that thorough manual removal is making a huge difference.

Still using the filter floss/nori clip?

Also reading @billyocean ‘s message yesterday about underestimating how much flow acros like, I bumped my Nero up to a max of 60 and cranked that mightyjet return pump with the RFG all the way up. Combined with the increase in par a week or two ago, Tenuis are starting to look better and better. Better PE, starting to get some color back. High nutrients, high flow, about 300 par. Will take a couple photos in a few days.

Good reefing day.

That didn’t really work for me for whatever reason. Never came up with anything on the filter floss. Also Dino’s are only on the sandbed and never on the rockwork. I don’t think I’ve been getting them moving around in the water column much.

Just transfered my csb to the new 8" custom nem box. Once he's settle in, he will occupy the entire box because the old 6" one was getting small

 

[steveschuerger]

My new SBB from the auction (all the non Acros that is) starting to settle nicely. Time to make slightly more permanent homes I think

The front Green spawn in front and the Peach on the sand are the newbies.

.

Gave the Gonis new homes. My Cerith snails were plowing them up.

@SBB Corals . Bowerbankis. Just a suggestion.

So I decided to have pasta tonight. Filled a pot with water, put it on the stove and turned the gas burner on. Took about 5 minutes to boil, threw in the spaghetti and set the timer. Walked over to sit down and glanced at the CO2 meter. It was 520 when I went to the kitchen……now it’s over 1100 and climbing. The burner had only been on for maybe 8 minutes. Whoa! Opened the front and back door and turned on the exhaust fan and ceiling fan. Never realized how quick CO2 can build up in the house. Stove off, doors open and ceiling fan on….CO2 level dropped back down to 625 Fairly quickly.

I‘ve “heard“ that CO2 levels above 800 will cause the tank PH to start dropping Significantly. Don’t know if that’s true, but it’s the number I’m using now to get the doors open and air moving.

That just seems really stressful.

After reading this, I went ahead and bumped my Nero up to a range of 10-51% and high variability. Been slowly upping lights as well.

Just make sure it's all random and indirect. It can directly hit it at times of course but anything with frequency of constance or close to it in one direction can kill it. Think washing machine agitation and not spin cycle..kind of the best way I can describe it.

Yeah. Fits my personality. I get bored real easy if I don’t have something to stress about. One of those pick your poison things.

@SBB Corals . Bowerbankis. Just a suggestion.

We will look into those as well

Welp, after reading this i put my acros in the washing machine and turned it up to full… guess i’ll be participating in the next SBB sale…

Just remember to shut them off before the spin cycle and you'll be fine...

Psa: this flow is what works for me. I have a ton and could actually use more in a spot or two. It may take a bit for things to get used to it so keep an eye out and perhaps increase daily in Increments. I don't know if that makes a difference but I don't want anyone to "shock" any acros or whatever.
