KLEMS SCA 50g cube

Congrats on bagging the serpent!
Did you use dark Acrylic? Do you think all their plastic scraps are reef safe?
Also, did you glue those squares shown in the photo?
Glad it seems to be working for you. I have just noticed I have light spillage so I will try your solution.

I picked up 2 pieces of black acrylic and then super glued the .20¢ squares onto the corners so I could hang it over the pass baffles. Easy to remove for cleaning /maintenance.

Here is a pic of the trap I made...

Not sure why ALK is higher than normal....checked twice. Will reduce dosing pump a bit from 2:15 to 2:00

How do you use the trap? Works like a lobster trap?

Yeah, you add in a piece of shrimp or frozen food at the far end of the tube, and the worm smells the food and enters thru the straw to find the food. Once they are in, it is hard for them to find the exit.

Those top down pics of clams are the best way to view them. It’s just not as vibrant looking at them from other angles.

Is that euphylia you have a cristata? It looks really puffy. Blastos are looking good too

I am not sure, got it at the CFM last year from the Your Reef booth.
