my new baby... AKA The Café

[Reefing_addiction]

I really want to do it, to try it out and see how well it works. BUT - I really don't want to add another thing to maintain.

I’m gonna run it for a few days, probably till Saturday and then remove it and place it back in my sump. But turned off. I don’t think your supposed to run it full time. I need to add more pods to my system and don’t need them getting trapped in it! That and I don’t care for the look of it in my display. Hopefully it does a good job! I don’t run a skimmer or anything else. I’ve also determined this pump will make a good back up incase my main return pump goes out. I may try and run it monthly or randomly when it seems the crud is building up

Yes, the look of it in my display was my other big concern (after temp increase - I don't run a heater to begin with because it's simply not needed in FL) I was thinking about a set up like that, just turn it on periodically, etc. I'll keep following along with your journey to see if there's a significant difference in clarity/etc with it.

I have a skimmer, since adding the filter roller mat and getting my ats really going it doesn't do much. I think I empty it every 2 weeks now (which is a huge change from every 2-3 days!)

I worked late today which means I made more money for corals

good thing.
Cherry Corals Live Sale starts tomorrow night.

 

[sp1187]

If they’ll eat I plan on feeding my corals once or twice a week.

heck, if I end up having shrimp, hermits, etc, I’ll feed them too.

I’m honestly fascinated by all the creatures we can keep

feed my suns, duncans, blastos, chilis & leathers daily.

Nope nope nope not doing it lol

 

[sp1187]

Shrimp make it next to impossible to feed coral. They are thieves and steal the food from lps and shrooms...

 

[sp1187]

Yes for sure and I can suggest a blood red fire shrimp. Kind of reclusive but absolutely stunning.

mine is always out and about.

 

[Ricksreeefs]

The moment I put my pistol shrimp in he climbed right into the worm's hole and made a meal out of him.

mine is always out and about.

Mine was out in my smaller tank but when I transferred him to the bigger tank he's never out probably because of the melanurus.

Posted in an emergency thread about softies possibly letting go, currently going through this due to the big (12") finger leather letting go, I basically said do fresh carbon, I changed mine yesterday, it would help instantly, wonder when that will show.
Pic from this morning in case you missed it.

I mean... You live on an island... Glowing with torches... I'd take my time crossing the moat as well.

Let me know how the fit is when it comes in. I'm Always between sizes and usually order the wrong size the first time.

I get a medium usually, but a large for "vendor" type free shirts because they shrink a little. I got a large and I'd say this is right in between.

ok. Here's your daily sexy update.
Apparently the second one that I thought had been eaten by the clowns somehow survived ?! I didn't stick around to see the finishing blow I just assumed it was a goner.
Sooooo, yup they're both in the filter sock again.
Im not sure what to do about this?
It seems they're choosing to end up in there. For safety maybe? Should I just let them live in there until they're bigger, I mean there is food in there right? I change my sock every 4 days so im going to have to do something I guess.

Any thoughts ?

Why not let them hang in the sump rather than in the filter sock?

Are they small enough to go through the weirs or going over the top?
