Hey @saf1 I have missed your funny comments sir. :)

Hi @Victoria M - I'm behind it seems on a lot of threads and what not due to last minute KT sessions at work. Next week I'm taking a LOA for a bit. In any case thanks for the tag as it let me catch up on all of your mischief :) You have been busy and it all looks great. Sort of hit me, you nurses. A wife's pillar of strength, a mothers guiding hand, and a nurses touch. Its like the trifecta of super powers you have going on. Then your DIY - quad something or other, right? Remember..."Do no harm, take no ****" :)

Hope all is well with you and yours.

The weekend did not go as planned. No pictures of a beautiful sump. :(
But I did get to use the citric acid to clean up my skimmer and it did a nice job. I also used some to clean up the sump and I noticed it allows you to wipe off calcium deposits after a short short soak compared to vinegar.

I need to clean my gyres again soon. They are neglected. I should do that tonight. I did find citric acid to be better than vinegar for calcium deposits and coraline. I found it worse on the slimy biological stuff.

I don't recall off the top of my head. I saw a recommendation on here that I went with but don't recall what it was.

Oh, and as long as you're in the dark you may as well whistle.

Not the dog! Goofball! :)
video did not play though

Are you referring to what looks like a little guy hanging from your mantel?

I thought it was the frog looking thing sitting by the candle.

Not sure why the video did not play for you. Are you using an iPhone?
