Colorado sunburst?
I saw a beautiful one at this same local frag swap this past spring, I believe it was $1,200
Absolutely stunning ranges of oranges.

And I got a plain old rose bubble tip. Wait 4 plain rose bubble tips.
Love it just as much and it was free with the purchase of 2 boring old ocellaris clownfish.

I stayed old school

 

[Why-Me]

Haven't seen Cooper the blenny in about 18hrs.
I found him INSIDE the overflow box on the back of the tank, not sure how he got there.
The only way I could see him fitting is jumping over the tank, landing on the overflow box lid and slipping through the grab hole in the top of it??
I believe the weir teeth are too skinny for him to fit through that way.
Either way I'm glad I found him!!
So tonight we're just Hangin' with Mr. Cooper!

Nice save! Crazy the places fish have been found.

 

[Why-Me]

I'm looking at wrasses on LA DD right now.

Yep. Bucket list nem for sure.

If there's another one I'll take afew pics this time.

 

[Why-Me]

I got a new larger 200 watt Eheim Jager heater from BRS today, the 150 watt one I had in the sump wasn't enough to keep the water at 78 when the furnace turns down at night, and I chose to get a new heater rather than run my furnace more often burning up the LP in my tank.
Things I've noticed so far is that it only takes 10 minutes to heat up and turn back off, previously it would take up to 25 minutes to hit the shut off on the Apex.
I keep my tank between 78.5 and 78.0 with the average of 78.26 degrees.

 

[Crabby48]

One thing to consider is every time it turns on and off the more wear on the relay. That will wear out the relay in the energy bar faster.

 

[Why-Me]

You're right.
My Apex is old so if I need to replace the energy bar it's probably better sooner than later to be honest.

 

[Why-Me]

Also looked back through my Fusion history and my old heater was on for anywhere from 1 hour to 3 hours to heat the tank from 78 to 78.5
Now it takes approx 20 minutes to heat the tank the same amount.
The new heater may be 50 watts more but it's only on for a fraction of the time per day compared to the old one.

 

[Why-Me]

I just received my first clean up crew, I went with @reefcleaners 40 breeder clean up crew with hermit crabs.
USPS had a field day, practicing field goals with the box...
I took a bunch of pics, enjoy!

Off topic, but, do you work on N20, N26, B58 BMW 4cyl turbo engines? Are they a good reliable engine?
Looking at upgrading my ride, next year maybe.
really can't stop looking at the 2017 4 series Gran Coupe, I gotta have that hatchback!!

I dont work on many BMW's anymore. They are great cars, but become more expensive to service and repair as time goes. I would say 5 to 7 years of worry free driving (average mielage with standard services). Anything with a turbo is going to be more expensive in the long run as well.

My highschool best friend has a 95 hellrot on dove interior e36 m3. Swapped the s50 for an s52, obd2-to-obd1 conversion, AA s/c, Bavarian autosport did the work. The mod list is too long to bother. But it's a sleeper. Bone stock from the outside. Porsche 997 gt3 seats, injectors, 16 point adjustable suspension, custom rear diff, downpipe to track pipe all the way back. Nothing was spared. It's a beast. 572whp. But it can take a corner at lime rock like no other. Took about a year before he called it done, it's a gem.

I'm glad you saved Cooper and solved the heater situation. Those hermits are fun to watch and you have plenty !

 

[Crabby48]

I try to find a balance with my heaters. If I can keep then on and off for at least 1 hour I’m happy. Doesn’t work always.
love your daughter helped with the CUC. Very cool
