Najer's zen twins.

I now have the M1 up to 8 lights of 11 (why 11?) and I am slowly going to raise it again.
Running the Eheim throttled back on the cube is causing the drain to gurgle like crazy in the cube but due to the swim through the ends balance so the more flow into the cube from the display the more that drain will be used.
Scratch that, 7 lights, I need a second dc pump to replace the Eheim, it will be a lot easier to balance the flow!
I need to find the RW 8 and swap out the RW 15, I have tried running the 15 on "else" (random) mode but it is too much for the display.
The drip count is about one every 5 or 6 seconds now, gotta love salt creep! ;)
I actually have the skimmer dialed in wet so maybe half a cup in 24 hours, I will watch my salinity, 35.5 yesterday.

About 20 minutes before I took this there was a little red nose in the same spot, the flasher wrasse is still hiding most of the time, I love watching the cucumbers "eat". :)

The disaster area! ;)

Back to the cucumber pic, I just got this, excuse the pic, it is basically sitting in there and just watching me, makes me sad.

Indo acros are ok, not sure about that patch, might take them out for a dip.

This was a mystery for a couple of hours, I think it was the file fish?! ;)

U mean the sand on the monti?

No there is a light patch on the acro, I'll get a pic in a bit once the last pair of T5s are on.
I do have a habit of putting my arm in when drunk and forgetting!
Monti this morning, I know that wasn't me or I would have moved the other piece into a bit more light! ;)

 

[najer]

Oh and the flasher wrasse came out for breakfast and has been out since, the cherub is giving it less of a hard time.
The wrasse has been exploring the rockwork quite a bit looking for holes the cherub won't fit through!
I watched it come out of a hole right by the fff's nose, it swam about a foot away, turned and swam flat back into the hole, even kicking up sand, the fff didn't even flinch lol! :)

This, the flesh is intact but bleached?! :)

I like this! :)

I like these also! :)

Not a word! ;)

The weir box! :)

If people only knew we get 20 of these for every 1 half decent one. The struggle of focus is real. Nice shots of the sticks :)

Thanks, I actually do have a dilemma about my pics!

Not sure what you know about cameras, 2 quality options, jpeg (what that is) and RAW.
RAW is the animal I need to learn, much bigger file size but you need software to deal with them.
That is what I look at, I don't need to change any colours but it should be better quality?!
I think this is quite a good pic, in theory I can do better! ;)

I need to clean the desk end glass, I have a plan regards the fff by the way, the monti has good growth but there is a patch of damage I can't see from the front.

I moved the Indo. acros twice in 2 days, small distances, day one I parked it on this, forgot I put it on the island! ;Facepalm

Interesting, I have a semi detached house, not sure what you call that, I am attached to one mirror image house.
17 -25 (I just checked) and next door is hammering something.
A few years ago when he had not long moved in I tried to go through the 4' fence and threatened to jam the hammer so far up his dark unmentionable area that he would need a mega proctologist to remove it!
He put in a very sturdy 6' fence!
Seriously considering putting my open face crash hat on and having a run at it! ;)

 

[najer]

Ok, motorcycle American friends, I have two crash helmets, my open face below, my full face "race" helmet is also HJC, I used to do do track days on race bikes.
I need to get the xrx back on the road! ;)
I put my head in American hands (not the orange bloke), I think I will do one more track day once this this is all over, got my boots, gloves and helmet, just need leathers, divorce cut me me off from one last time, plans! ;)

Wish I knew cameras myself. Hit up ur mate mick... @chopsie for those pointers. The pics are still beautiful regardless. Jpeg definitely takes away res and quality though.

His skills are way beyond mine and yes he has helped me a lot, he knows the software side of raw frightens me, I need to grow a pair!

Early lights just after breakfast, love having the flasher wrasse back out, it was out most of yesterday and the cherub is giving it less of a hard time. :)
