Really easy to program in the hydros. Just set the drum on as a generic outlet: I leave the pump on 100% of the time to save a controllable outlet. But @JVU has his turn off an hour a day to soak all the junk out which seems like a good idea.

Cool stuff out of UC Davis! https://phys.org/news/2025-05-high-video-reveals-unexpected-jaw.amp

It's my commute every day lol

Bunch of updates since it's been awhile. The female copperband had grown a ton the past few months and got larger than the male who was probably 15% bigger when I introduced him. All of a sudden she started getting aggressive when the lights turned off and was attacking the male to the point...

Just as a sanity check, the more "open" setting is when the largest opening is rotated closest to the augur output right? I have been getting floaters in there that aren't coming out unless I lift the unit occasionally now.

Probably the only way to get through stylos quickly!

@BAYMAC can probably speak to it more but my understanding is that tdo pellets are pretty nutrient dense compared to freeze dried whole shrimp (and especially frozen) so you really don't need to feed as much volume to volume.

I only feed directly in the tank, I don't want to chop up the whole mysis any more than the plank pump does already. I feed frozen once or twice a day when I'm home @MichaelB in addition to 5x 1:30 feeds from the plank.

SF Bay Brand mysis in mine plus some calanus for the smaller fish. Some spirulina flakes too for the others. Flakes that are too large get clogged.

I've got a huge chunk if anyone wants any today or tomorrow. Good for yellow tang food (top right)

The ReeFi lights have a better warranty lol

Feels like I'm spinning it forever lol

I've got the Bubble King 180 on my similar sized system and it just constantly pulls crazy skimmate. You're gonna love it. Only downside is how many turns it takes to get off the cup.

Absolute unit of a tank! Glad you were able to salvage as much as you did.

That's a cool hitchhiker!
