What's in your overflow?

[JoJosReef]

Think there's room for more junk in there! I want to see some dirty overflows.

Oh the shame. I don’t think I can show it. It’s 10 years old

I like your fuzzies!

In my next tank, I'm adding a cryptic refugium!

The black cover keeps most the light out, and my excellent reef keeping skills actually have kept it pretty clean

I attribute my success to my strict routine of zero water changes, no skimmer, and no socks or mechanical filtration

I use filter floss, but that's really it. About to sell the never-used skimmer.

I’ve been thinking about selling mine also


The pump died Nov 2022, I bought a new Sicce pump Dec 2022, and wondered if I really needed a skimmer…turns out, I don’t :)

never even used the pump. Wasted $120 but oh well

Oh… mine are covered with aiptasia. Both tanks have an aptaisia controller in - my nano has a peppermint shrimp, my 4’ has a YLN Butterfly. But the back chambers are just covered!

Ever try just dumping some boiling water back there? Perhaps dumping is a bad idea. Maybe pipetting boiling water directly onto Aips till they are gradually no more? I find boiling water the best remedy for aiptasia if you can safely nuke them.
