Not a lot happening at the moment in the 110 so how about a few Biocube pukes.

Black sand... I'll bet Andrew would love that in his pico.
I really like the Hawaiian black sand. Makes everything pop. Took a Looong time to settle after start up though. Diatoms forever. I finally put a fist size bag of Phosguard in the filter tower after about 6 months to suck out silicates. Been clear since aside from Aiptasia

I sent them an email to see if they have any small bags. He LOVES this look!

Question: Is the purpose of a Euro braced bottom to provide more surface area to silicone the sides together, to prevent a glass blow-out?
Essentially yes. Im no engineer but as I understand it Instead relying purely on siliconed panes absorbing all the pressures the euro brace is sorta spreading that force out over a greater area.

Full round of tests complete in the 110. A couple surprises.

Alk: 6.4
Calc: 390
Mag: 1480

No3: 5ppm
Po4: 0

Have been hand dosing blindly for over a month. Having limited coral i wasn’t expecting much decline dosing 5-10ml a day of BRS mix. I should probably get the DOS’ running again. I had stopped dosing Triton because I didn't want to raise trace elements too.

Phosphate hitting 0 is also a surprise. Started to see a little cyano in one spot which prompted the testing. It had previously been elevated. Dosed a little Neophos I have sitting around and will feed a little more over the next week.

Scurvy did you have a nori clip rust? What do you use now?
If I remember not to long ago you had a post about this. Sorry if I’m wrong
Yeah, i had an older version of the two little fishies rust on me. They sent me the new version that is sealed. I like their clip a lot and still use it. Th original version wasn't sealed well.

Is there a way to tell new vs old version?
I got the two little fishy one from an LFS so not sure how long it may have sat around

Hold either side of the internal magnet like this and try to twist/separate the bottom. The old version will come apart, the new version wont.
