I knew something was up when I saw all of my hermits with a nassarius shell on lol. What are your thoughts on strombus alatus? From what I read, they'd stay mainly in the sandbed. Any experience with those taking out snails?

Hahah...still got around 12 spots to add..one side of the scape is still pretty bare. Good call out on the sunset..looking at it, it could be a major problem if it started encroaching on the areas with sticks..I think I'll move that to its own rock to be safe since Its a pretty fast grower

The temp has been pretty steady around 78-80. I think it hit 81 for a couple hours when the mini split didn't turn on. Lack of food may be possible. There hasn't been much algae to graze on compared to before. One i can confirm was a casualty to the carpen nem due it the shells proximity to it...

Right before lights out

FTS this guy's happy again..moved some rockwork out and he gets more light. First Zoas in the tank...thank you @Ayman

6 month update The tank has been coming along. Everything stabilized for a good month until I had an unexpected nutrient spike.A couple weeks back and thought the little chaeto I had in the algae Rx was dying off. After checking things out, still had that golf ball sized chunk in there and was...

@MichaelB if you keep your tank waterless for too long the BAR mob tends to get restless...I know this intimately..lol

Not sure where your located, but i got a few I can spare if you need. I'm in Hayward.

After doing some quick research I'd probably go with this. Its DC, so noise is cut down. At 180 watts youd be able to power it using an ecoflow for a little while. Id consult @richiev on this..hes a wiz at calculating this stuff and can give you an honest answer. Its cost effective enough...

I had one set up on a reef flo dart. At the time the flow was great, but ideally for a tank your size I'd spring for the hammerhead. I don't recall what the flow rate was..somewhere in the ball park of 5-6K. There's larger pumps, but the larger you go the more heat, noise, and electricity If yhe...

While I love the clean look of closed loops, it would take an immense amount of power to equal the amount of flow you can attain with low wattage powerheads we have available to us today. If there were DC options that could match the flow you'd get from a hammerhead I'd say go for it...but...

Way to make a brotha feel old @CaseyP ..hahaha

You going to dial in on time this time? Haha

@gmdcdvm my bad...after reading what I had posted, the images are switched

They have step by steps on how to set it up using OSC command. I got lazy and set it up using IF Time commands. This shot is of my reef jerky one. It turns on the feeder for 30 seconds. My pellet one is only for 15 seconds, otherwise it'll dump too much food. This is the command for the pumps...

I'm currently trying to find something to put in the plank for my CBB to wean off frozen foods. Have you had any luck with any freeze dried ones your would take to?

If it's the TDO ones, I doubt it. Freeze dried mysis go through it without issue so you should be fine.

They have different sizes of TDO pellets ranging from large to almost dust. I feel the small and medium ones and have small fish. I tried benereef pellets before that, but found them to sink too fast. The TDO stays suspended in the water column for much longer. The pellets are fed twice per...

I have two. 1 loaded with reef Jerky and the other with TDO pellets. Initially, when I loaded both in one plank, it dispensed way more pellets and less of the jerky. I found the amount very inconsistent during dry runs, leading me to purchase the second one.
