00W's AIO Smorgasbord

Thanks Tom!
Should I stop the high flow for a bit?
I've got some badly covered rocks for them to lunch on.
And yes, doubtful trigger would bother them much, especially since he sleeps very well.

Can you direct it so that it isn't directly blasting the rocks where you want them to dine? Nudis are kind of like aquatic flying squirrels. They move around mainly by crawling from surface to surface but they can glide, to an extent, on the flow but they have very little control over where they end up.

One of my powerheads died a couple of days ago.

I’ve got the single one.

I want one! Is this image as good as it is in real life?

I went scuba diving in the bay there too. There was a hotel right on the road that I walked right out of the ocean and into the room with full gear. Crazy kids back then.

 

[Üter]

Was actually thinking of killing all flow just on one side for a bit, especially since surface jebao is literally covered in Aiptasia.
I'm still wondering if that isn't how they get transported around the tank, free ride through the water...

Too bad you can’t “rent” a file rush or CBB.

It’s not too hot there. It doesn’t get hot near Monterey or Carmel. Half Moon Bay you’re lucky if you see the sun

Okay I set the jebaos to the same schedule as the lights on the same timer since the Berghia are nocturnal.
Hopefully that will help.
Thanks Tom!
You are always so helpful.

That's what I would do, Joel! You may be surprised. Just make sure that your corals will do fine with lower flow!

Done!!
Thanks Walker!

Most definitely!
I haven't lived there in a long time but I'm still a member.
It's a wonderful place.
There is another aquarium in Phoenix that's my second favorite, but it is not right on the ocean like the Monterey Bay Aquarium.

That is a good idea as long as the corals will be okay. Aiptasia aren't bothered very much by high flow so they tend to accumulate around pumps where there is a good supply of nutrients and little chance of predation or even competition.

If you decide to pull the gyre to clean it, remember that Aiptasia are extremely resilient organisms. Even a tiny piece of the pedal foot left behind will regrow a new Aiptasia. After I acid-clean a pump, I go over it and scrap off any bits of Aiptasia that I find, then I wipe it down with peroxide on a paper towel then I go over it again with a magnifier looking for any left over bits of Aiptasia and then let it sit and air dry for several days. Anything less than that and one of the buggers will regrow in my experience.

I lived there most of my life and never saw a day over 75 in Monterey.

Okay I took the two jebaos and put them across from each other.

Are you talking about OdySea Aquarium by any chance?

This month's AZFRAG meeting will be a behind the scenes meet at OdySea. I haven't been there in a few years but I think it is a great experience, even if it is in the middle of a reservation in the middle of the Sonoran Desert.

Something is not right

Something is not right

You may want to pull the impeller cover off of one side and try to turn the impeller by hand. It may have just seized from sitting in storage too long.

It happened to me when I put it in random mode, now I have it in constant mode and it hasn't happened anymore, I'm going to wait a bit to see if I change it again to see what happens, thank you
