I do. Turning it on and off I’d think would cause issues with ph.

Awesome piece!

I have always loved this one.

I am not sure yet with the new skimmer as I just connected it but the old tank would go about 1 1/2 weeks.

 

[litenyaup]

Is the skimmer pulling outside air?

 

[bubbaque]

No. I tried that before and it didn't really make a difference for me.

I have been slacking on my r2r. Can someone summarize what size tank the new display is? You keeping the frag tanks going as well?

New tank is 360 gallons and the dimensions are 8 x 3 x 2. No I’m not keeping any of the frag tanks. Right now I only have 1 of the 3 still going and that one should also be gone this weekend.

What process did you use to clean your clean up crew for the new tank? I’m contemplating ditching all my current clean up crew and just ordering new ones. Thoughts?

If you’re trying to elongate something and it’s already in your tank you may be too late. I wanted to avoid anything going into the new tank by never allowing it in.

For clean up crew I only have snails. I took each snail and brushed and scraped their shells to remove anything undesirable.

I can only imagine what the snails were thinking when you were brushing them off, LOL!!!;Hilarious

I have one emerald crab and the rest is snails as well. I have some aptasia in my current tank and a few balls of bubble algae. I’ll be scrubbing all the corals and lps stocks dipped in pure peroxide to make sure nothing carry’s over. Sps will be cut a little above incrusting section and relocated. Only thing being transferred will be the return pump , tunze’s and heater. Don’t want to deal with bubbles or aptasia anymore lol.
