ESHOPPS Mariner 70 Build

So I siliconed the magnet chamber and siliconed the magnets in last night and left them to cure. Now I can't find my Weldon. 😂

I'm going find that hopefully tomorrow or I'll have to go grab another tube. Apparently there are 3 or 4 stores within a couple of miles of my house that sell Weldon. The last tube I ordered off Amazon and waited two weeks for delivery.

Godspeed, and dont forget to document your journey 🫡

Look at you acting all caring and compassionate. Nice try, mister. We're on to your tricks.
 
I found the Weld-on container. It was sitting on top of my ammo bag. 🤷‍♂️

That's where I keep my Weld-on, shoulda been the first place you looked.

I'm probably going to have to start wearing gloves when I work in the sump. I was in there yesterday plucking algae and today I have some spots that appear to be Anemone stings most likely.

They don't hurt, just itch a little and they're annoying.
 
I did a 5 gallon water change yesterday. Everything looks decent enough.

Says you. We wouldn't know because there seems to be a lack of photos.

You don't want to see my tank right now. Salt driplets all over the front of the tank and I haven't scraped the glass in a week or 2. Not much to see in a picture except haze and smudge. I'll try to scrape and clean the glass this evening and then grab a picture after the sludge settles.

Sure we do. Life is life and it happens. No one is going to judge you. Least of all, me. No matter how bad you may think your tank looks it's still better than what I have going on.
 
How has the tank been!
It's more or less on autopilot (I hope. I'm gone for a week...). Lost the Foxface last week. Got some GHA coming in. Alk took a little dip (ok, a lot... Got down to 4.6). Got all my dosers redialed in and am hoping some of the struggling struggles stop struggling. Topped off the dosing chambers before I left but I ran out of calcium so I'll be buying a bag of calcium chloride when I get home.
 
This was my view most of the day today.

Sheep are not easy to find.
 
Well, I'm back and ready for a nap! As of this morning the sheep hunt was unsuccessful. They're still up there for today but I haven't heard from them since around 7 this morning.

No fish losses while I was gone, no corals appear any worse since before I left so that's all good news. There's a significant amount of film algae on the glass and some decent GHA growth. I'm planning on scraping the glass and maybe starting a batch of salt water for a small water change. That'll give me an opportunity to remove some GHA.

I ran out of calcium and all the stores around here don't sell pure calcium chloride local - weird that we don't have a bunch of deicer in stores here in the middle of the desert.

I'll try to get a picture tonight after the glass cleaning occurs but I might snow the tank so there's that.
 

With the new Tunze make sure to plug in the pump connector head phone jack in tightly. It should make a clicking noise. For some reason mind did not go in properly until I had more pressure than I thought and the pump would not turn on lol. Its great though and silent.
