Wow I’m intrigued by the Reefwave, I can’t wait to hear your long term review. Tank looks amazing as always Freddie, I hope you and the family are well! :)

Rick,
Thanks so much, and we're doing fine.

Here's a short term review:


Was on the phone with Amanda for over an hour today... ;Hilarious

Still have not joined them at their home (since their first weekend home), but Heather shooting us pictures, does ease the pain of separation.

As always, thanks for tagging and please stay safe.

Alright guys,

First off as what @Brew12 alluded to early in how to keep a BB floor nice and clean.
Came up with this setup some years back. and now it is back in action.


So made the above thread and have seen that others have taken note and it's nice to be able to pass it up.

On to the scape:
Was trying to get it back like it was, but hit a road block, so had to vary off, but that's how the new tunnel came about.

I also added two new trachys and so far the Regal angel could care less.

This is one and the colors are correct, with peaches and all, but my cell phone can not pick out those colors.

So, this is where the scape stands today.

Looking good freddie!

Thanks, Rich

I'm pleased with it and happy that the Regal did not attack the trachys.

lol
Got some detritus to suck out, but will hit that on the next water change.

I wish the cell phone would pull out the colors, but WWCs did me good.

I think at some point I'll head to Adam (BattleCorals) for an acro or two.

If you want to keep your bb floors, overflows and sumps nice and clean and you do water changes this is the way to go:

Filter sock and skimmer neck has been cleaned.

Shots of remaining detritus on BB floor.

Click the blue arrow and work your way up, but that Amazon hard pipe in the first post of the day has really came in handy.

I think It could use less light . Open mouth and visible skeleton ridges on the peripheri means it needs more love. I would bring her down and spot feed .

Thanks,

It had just fell over to the one side, when I took that shot.

Kinda freaked me out too, until I noticed that it had slipped

It has been mounted, with tight mouths, and billowing back like it was.

Last shot that took, after it was mounted solid, back into it's place

and was billowing more right before lights out, but thanks so much for pointing it out.

You can get filters for the phone, or use Snapseed as well. Doesn't really matter tho, your tank is GORGEOUS!!!!

amen, Ray

It is sure hard not to just jump in the car and take a visit.

On a good note:
His three older sisters love him to death (with no jealousy), and the middle one, mommies him... :D
