Build thread
OMG! I've been on this forum for over a year now, and I just learned that if you click the build thread badge, that it links you to the build thread. My mind is blown and I feel silly. At least I can always say that I'm learning something new all the time. Thanks! LOL

Just be wary of bumblebees. They will on occasionally predate other snails, clams, etc... I used 6 to assist with vermitids, and lost a few astreas and cyriths. But the vermetids are all but gone. And I had hundreds.

+1 on bumble bees being watch worthy. I had six in beginning found one munching on another snail and pulled em all. Vibrant worked wonders for me on Dino’s and bubble algae. It took its toll on chaeto and wanted a fuge or would be using it today still. Been tempted to go back to finish the gha and find dosevto maintain that let’s me have chaeto doing its thing still.

Yeah...I have a used backup. It should get me through until I can buy a nice one tomorrow. Actually, I think I'm going to buy two so they can divide and conquer. Plus it gives me another excuse to go to my lfs. As for my day... urgh! Nothing that dosing with a cabernet in a snowman cup can't handle. ;) Hope your day was a good one. :)

I have tried numerous times, but my three tangs don't want to pose for a picture all together. I can't even get them on video. My white cheek avoids the purple and the yellow because they pick on him if he gets too close -- he is the smallest. Who likes a school bully? But you would think they could get together, stop swimming, and smile for one silly photo for me. They are my favorite fish and they are unwilling to work with me on this. ;Woot;Snaphappy

I adjusted the flow again last night. I think I nailed it. Everything looks happy and puffy today. I just have to make certain that I don't move the Gyres ever again -- forever. Or at least until they get their next scrub down.

Flows a tough one to get right grats on nailing it down. For next cleaning I made a cardboard template to place dry side magnet and get it back in right space.

I'm off to wake up an eighth-grader for school. I have better luck battling my dinos. Wish me luck.

I been both places. Wait till they come home from college. :)

Kids can lay down some hours. But they will be in my shoes soon enough.
