So I cleaned by Radion Diffusers this past weekend and wasnt thinking about the potential change of intensity depending on how dirty they were. Over the last couple days several SPS colonies began to lighten up significantly, and I have seen some flesh peel away. I dialed the intensity back down to 57% from 75% for a period of time hoping to see recovery. I will share some photos later.

I just saw Jeff has a new skimmer model with dual mazzei venturi inputs!! Really hoping to see someone post a video of one in use, or I may just have to get one anyway

How much did you get it for originally?

A good friend of mine gave it to me. He thought it would have better luck surviving in my tank.

Was finally able to get a decent photo of my Leopard Wrasses together and BoTom of course.

Mobius is so much better than EcoSmart live but they really need it to communicate with wifi when you are away from the tank.
