Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
Why is it so speratic and why won't it run when I put the housing back on.
Try pulling the impellers out then put it back in and put the housing back on as well . My take is the rubber ends are to tight when you put it back on into the housing .

Well I tried and it ended disastrously.. not really but it caused disruption in the tank
 
I got it to work lol just took a lot of troubleshooting.
That’s great 🤩
So nothing was mess up ?
Nothing yet. But it's not doing good enough for the skimmer. I'll get it time before considering another pump this time it'll be a comepeltlry different one

Well I’m glad you at least got it working . 🤩
 
That looks practically a goner. I would put it in very low flow and very low light. I would also see if there is a claims process to get a replacement as it’s basically dead.

Maybe some others can chime in. It may be best to not even add it to the tank depending on the size of the tank.
You know you might want to speak to Tim as he told me never to throw out anything because my Dendros have 14 new starts after the parents died .
In this case, I'd consider changing my mind. Does it smell awful? Looks BJD to me. (Brown Jelly Disease)

Sniff test will confirm it but there's no color except brown/black mush it's highly likely dead and "can" infect other LPS (some say yes, some say no. Mine didn't but people I trust have had it spread).

Smell it and describe the smell.
 
Well, got er done. I still have a lot to mount. Had five fish in the tank and added six from the Biocube and the four from today’s purchase.Most of today’s fish added are hiding except the the clown fish, diamond watchman goby and the male anthias.
