Thinking about getting them something nice and comfy to host them, although introducing an anemone to my 10 gallon at this point will probably just cause more problems.Clowns can love things to death, usually lps, bummer.

Sorry to hear about your loss. Moving systems is definitely tough no matter the size.
Nice looking tank though, nanos really are fun!
Awesome to hear such good things about the booster pump. I’ve been considering one for quite some time as I hover around 50 PSI. Water is relatively cheap here so ROI isn’t really a thing. If it makes media last longer though it’s less hassle for sure!
Definitely makes a ton of sense if you’re making a bucket at a time? Do you have a float on the bucket or are you forced to check on it? I wasted quite a bit of water when I lived in apartments by forgetting to check on it.I hear ya on ROI. Wasn’t concerned about cost of water, but felt a little bad about wasting so much tap water down the drain. But mostly the time savings are great, and I can make water very efficiently. It’s particularly helpful for me because I don’t have a dedicated water making station (connect and disconnect from the shower head every time). It was time consuming managing this for a 10 gallon. Couldn’t imagine having a bigger tank without the higher PSI for the RO/DI!

I have a 29g reservoir but have it automated to refill when it drops to ~ 6 gallons. It’s pretty hands off, would all be in membrane/resin savings for me. If I run the dishwasher/washer I can see the pressure drop. Overall my plumbing is pretty weak :/
That's one of the nicest tanks i've seen. How did you get your corals colors to pop so much? I wish my tank looked like that!
Like magic!It is amazing how well those Aquashield UV work. I don't run one all the time on my IM, but glad I have it.
Things looking much improved.
That is not Dino’sWas unsuccessfully fighting dinos for a few weeks. Manually siphoning every day and increasing nutrient input, but no progress.
Was debating whether I wanted to try the Dr. Tim’s Waste Away method or UV to fix it.
Decided to go with UV since it’s a very affordable solution for a nano tank and I didn’t want to have to do the multi day blackout with Waste Away. Got the Auqa Shield UV Sterilizer Desktop. Took a couple minutes to “install” and it got rid of 95% of dinos overnight. It was probably 48 hours until I couldn’t see any leftover dinos. Let the UV run for 4 days just to be sure and now have had the UV offline for 3 days. Maybe too early to tell, but I think the tank is “cured”. $50 well spent.
Next problem — solve this algae issue.

Looked like dinos to me and behaved like dinos. Went away completely at night then returned each morning as lights came on. Also solved by UV.
What do you think it was?
