I'd flip your power heads. The Nero 3 is more powerful and it'd probably work better if the weaker power head is on the side of the overflow otherwise less stuff will make its way down the overflow.

Will do. The other one ironically has more flexibility for it angle adjustment too.

Petco has their 50% off sale going on right now. Thought about grabbing one of the 60 gallon breeders for a frag tank but decided one project at a time.

The pic doesn't do it justice, but this torch has gained even more color since being moved from the frag tank. Hints of orange and purple on the polyps.

Yeah, pic doesn't do justice. Looks like a pic from @Tony Page and his hidden numbers game, but in this one it is find the torch colors if you squint hard enough.

I’ll definitely be wearing one of those hats if you sell them. I’m very rarely not wearing a hat and those hats are definitely my style.

 

[woodyarmadillo]

Hmm looks like it may be dinos. What now?

We want to see your unboxing and all your corals that you receive. We will pick our favorite and announce the winner on the opening of the new sales thread.

2) we are running a Surprise Sticker Reward Coral Reveal!!!!! everybody is getting stickers in the boxes but a select 6 people will get a sticker labeled 1-6.

Also did a shake up test and they did ball back up.

Don’t think it’s a nutrient issue.

How I beat ostreopsis in a few days. If you don't have a uv..

1. Got a 24 watt green killing machine from petco..a 9 watt will be plenty for you
You can order it online to save some money and pick up in store as it's probably in stock.
2. Dosed some microbacter 7 during the process
3. Turkey basted the rocks/frag racks/sand and got them off of glass right at lights out to get them waterborne.
4..and perhaps a key point in removal. I Used a nori clip and a piece of filter floss on front glass out in front of a powerhead overnight. In the morning the filter floss will be covered in them. Take out floss..rinse/squeeze under tap and leave it on a counter or whatever during the day. Put that piece of floss back in there before lights out again and repeat the process. You can use the floss for a few days before replacing it.

The floss was like a moth to flame with the dinos and it was saturated with them for a couple nights and then got less and less. By day 4 or maybe five there were no more. By day 3/4 they may have been gone but I was sure by day 5.

Hmm it’s hard. It may not actually be Dinos. On that sheet, I’d say it’s nearest the chrysophyte. I don’t see any movement, looks like small motionless golden yellowish spheres without much structure in the middle. Here’s the best pic I can get at 250x

Okay thanks! Been pretty vigilant with keeping it suspended in the water column. Will start dosing more microbactor 7 and try the filter floss thing. If I don’t see any change in the next couple days, I’ll pick up a UV sterilizer.

 

[steveschuerger]

Here’s what I’ve got so far. Taking a break to look and see if I want to make any changes before the sand goes in
