If you look at the teddy bear montipora digitata and ultra yellow eye zoanthid that's what I got.

Those are beautiful!

Outgoing.

When did you replace filters/membranes last?

If incoming pressure is the same and downstream pressure is dropping then one of your filters is likely ready to be changed/replaced.

Thanks Tim, I will take them apart tomorrow and find the culprit.

Outgoing.

Mine goes down quite a bit when my filters hit about the 8 month mark.

When did you replace filters/membranes last?

One about a year and a half and the other about a year I think. Still struggling with my memory, as I stated previously I’ve been wanting to ask my family physician to increase my dementia medication but I keep forgetting.

I see it's another breezy Saturday on this station. Don't we all have something better to do. I guess not ! Carry on!

Yeah I'd start there Kev.
Sounds like it to me.

Who was she? Does she have a website?

The website i share where I had you look up my corals. That's her website. Some really really nice woman who had me sit kn a couch while she explained her entire system and how she does everything and gave me a 50% discount on my zoas because it was my first time there. Got like 20 heads on it for 50$. Think that's fair? Awesome genuine nice person.

I can always count on my favorite mermaid, at least for a while until you go the way of all the others!

Really nice zoas!

Thanks man! The wife likes the zoas so she's gonna have a garden(if she actually gets involved then I'll buy her all the zoas she wants :grinning-face-with-sweat:) might get ahold of cultivated reef for tomorrow :thinking-face:

Happy to report all new fish, starfish and corals are settling in nicely and enjoyed a supper of shrimp and coral food. Even caught a quick glimpse of the Royal Gamma. Sad to report the holes in the second set of coral racks are too small for the plugs. Maybe tomorrow I can see if I can make them bigger without breaking them.

I'm still here, here and there!

Before i get anymore corals though, I have a mp40, 2 jebao sdw-16 and about 1200gph of return pump flow and i still have rather aggressive cyano issues. Maybe dinos as well but I didn't think dinos and cyano grew together as dinos would out compete everything for nutrients and i have high phosphates which would lead one to think not dinos? I have lots of flow, to the point where i think I might turn powerheads down a little bit and get a couple small ones for hard to reach areas, and I know @00W you had said you typically see cyano related to flow issues so I'm just kind of stumped. I did recently hook up a gfo reactor (ran it for like a day or 2 and my phosphates tanked so I shut it off) and i could cut back on the gfo and bit (use less/less flow) and see if getting phosphates down a bit helps? I'm pretty sure my rock must be leeching some
