What happened to Remi???

I wish I knew, I’ve been wondering myself. I don’t think anyone has his number. I suggested a long time ago that everyone share their phone number with someone on here for situations like this so we know that they are ok but just find us annoying.

I had a maxima decades ago for a few months before it withered away. Looking back I don’t think I had enough par. I know now that the need at least 300+ par. Derosa and squamosa are placed in the sand and maxima and Crocea are rock dwellers. A clam expert would be @OrionN

I have had one ridding around on a turbo snail for over a year and didn't know it, I guess its still alive because it has grown along with the snail.

Curious what settings your Nero 3 or 5 is on and if you have other pumps. Always a struggle to tune mine in
Click to expand...
My nero 3 is set at random 45% intensity, dropping to 10% after lights out. That's on the left side glass panel. On the right side I have a hygger wavemaker (1200gph I think) on random. The wavemakers are facing each other but are of set just a bit. The flows "bump" each other, giving me a nice chaotic turbulent flow up top near the sps. For my return pump, my axis 40 is running at 60% with a vivid aquatics random flow nozzle on the output. My tank is a 40 gallon cube, so it has its own rules for flow..
