Hadley did a tour of their Cairns location recently. Really nice display tank there too:

Pretty small setup - I wonder how it looks in the US (agree though that their display looks nice
). Great though that they were transparent and showed their lab.

Even the urchins like eating dandelions now.

DELTEC’s newly released media reactor - FR 90- is so new, they do not even know which hose size fits. I found out by accident that it is a 14 mm ID. Very nice build and very versatile.
It's their smallest reactor with 1,200 ml capacity, which I will be using for activated carbon (replacing my lifeguard reactor which I am not a fan of (albeit good enough for a nano tank)).
I am already using its predecessor for adsorber media and a tiny sicce nano pump.

Yes, I believe they merged a kalkstirrer with the media reactor in that new product design. They still have their CARX, but you are right, it seems that this can be easily upgraded to a CARX at a later point, by purchasing the accessories they sell for this.

I thought I had dinos again, but I am glad I always have a microscope ready to check, and given the high nutrients I am running these days, it seemed unlikely.
Looks like these are diatoms - tank video with focus on the sandbed and three different videos of the microscope slide taken from the sandbed.
My working assumption right now is that the significant reduction in flow by removing two of the four gyres I was running previously might have contributed to this. It also only in the front part of the tank.
A good reason to activate the Tunze Stream 3 I had bought but not yet installed.
I also sent out an ICP today (lets see how long it takes this time) to get more insight.
Any other thoughts?

Good question. I have been thinking about them in a different context, but it would not harm to add a gallon of them.
Update: Ordered 1/2 gallon from them, plus 25% off with code Summer25.
