Pretty sure thats the one I've been eyeing @fishguy242 :) Before you do anything let me know please.

Quick update on the reef.
Here's what sump number 1 looks like now:D

Sump #2 all fishes together expect for puffdaddy and getting along. Bottom is super clean;) Can't see it but its moving.


Should of listened to @fishguy242 and did another water change after Chemiclean blast. Big Earl did not like it and guts where hanging out for cpl days. Did another 30% change and moved Earls into 1st table with more flow and look a little better today.
Other than that things are rocking.
Had to put clean up of discs on hold. They kinda look like they are getting better on there own anyway. To much going on right now.
Shots around the shroom garden:D

Ahhhh spammersday:)
@MERKEY how is scrubber screen coming along? Mine is finally starting to chill out a bit. Went through all kinds of nasty phases in last few weeks. Pretty much every color of gunk and could imagine including cyano and who knows what else. Just been spraying it down in bathtub with high pressure faucet spray head.
Mine is more of a brownish green type. Good thing is its only growing in isolated areas on the racks at this points. Discs are starting to clean up on own. And looking like its starting to take hold on the screen. Ill see what the one under red light looks like in next cpl weeks but so far its working. Tables looking super clean and definetely going through some kind of transformation.
Tested Nitrates still sitting around 15ppm. Maybe closer to 10ppm. But have done 60% water change in last week or so. See what it does in next cpl weeks.
@DonTavo27 definitely a big color difference in your tyedye compared to phil Jb. Both super nice. Yours is just on a different level. Very nice!

Screen and shroom spam:)

Did it feel a little wierd typing that out?

Dude Earls back to spitting guts again seriously hope I didn't screw them up!
No, I felt weird voice to texting it sitting next to my wife in my car though. Bless her heart she didn't even ask what the heck I was talking about.

Super weird man.

There not gone until there gone. Sure they will make it. I have an electus doing the little twist thing like the Earls just not spitting guts.
Got carbon in sump for shrooms tables. Probably be fine but will most likely suffer some kind of set back.
All good man. Just get bummed when I screw things up!

Was thinking about that. You know I'm gonna have half a tray of foot boogers soon as I get to cleaning up these discs:D Somehow its gonna magically fill up the rest of the way:)
Just kinda want to let things chill a little bit. Lots of changes in last month.
Overall things are looking like its going in right direction.

Few more from around the tables.
Most definetely for sure these discs are starting to clean up. Whatever I was dumping in my water and whatever that gunk is my turf scrubbers been pulling out is for sure starting to go away and change color and consistency:)
Earls pulled his guts back in:)

Looking really good @LRT !!

Scrubber is scrubbing along....I think its making a difference as I'm down to 1 bag of phosgaurd a week instead of 2. Also nitrates are steady in the 20s now and not over 100 or straight to red color

Here's some SHROOM SPLAMMARAMA

Dude I probably need to check my phosphates! Honestly what I think has been happening here is all my screens have been doing is taking nasties out of my water column. Cant believe my shrooms where living in that! Pretty sure mine may be just starting to cycle properly on the screen. Are you getting the green algae on scrubber yet?
I'm going to be really watching my params next cpl weeks. I have 2 scrubbers going now. I'm hoping to be able to maybe take the big one down depending on how well the smaller red lamp scrubber works!
What is the shroom in first picture?
Very nice bro.
