There's something fishy about this build...

Both?

Both?

The reason One of many reasons I hate this skimmer is that it so easily stops working when it sucks up other things. My other skimmer (which wouldn’t fit in this sump). Works great in a full refugium. This one needs a very clean compartment. Thus I can’t grow algae where the skimmer is.

Attached: skimmer designed well

Is that the skimmer you couldn’t get the collection cup off of at first?

Above? No. That’s the one that is easy to clean and almost always works.

This is the skimmer I hate

If there a way you can add mesh netting to cover the input? Would that help guard it against large pieces?

Grow my pretty!

My prettiest acro is a $10 rando from the LFS... Help me name it?!?

This clams

9012? Usually Tunze skimmers are great.

Guess I should have finished the thread before replying.

AI blades grow and glow. If the background is gray then it’s on the grow side. If it’s purple the glow. I think maybe my corals under the glow are prettier? Which is annoying because the glow makes things hard to photograph.


Anyway someone name this acropora! I’m guessing “Dr Seuss” is already taken.

BTW I did not alter colors at all. This is just an orange filter and some folding with warmth.

Beautiful piece!
Wait for it to grow out more, I think its' name will become apparent.

If it grows big enough it may have chunks cut off and sent to… Whatever my version of heathens are?

Hopefully? I wouldn't mind seeing how it responds to a good halide baking. yellow is one of my favorite coral colors..

Well, let's see, there are the Heathens, the Cronies, the Smorgs, the very exclusive Officelings .. so I'd have to venture a guess "Not Quite Dead Yets" aka "NoQuiDdYs"
