Alaska intermission, welcome to my "Moosequarium".

Spring time and we have apparently the first/best patch of grass in the neighborhood this season.

Dog status: "STILL NOT THRILLED"

Looking nice.

I see only one wave maker. Is that the only means of water movement you have currently?

Thanks Crusso! In addition to the Jebao wavemaker I run 2 Vortech MP10's, they're camouflaged a bit in the pic. They push a ton of water, I run them on 30%. Tank is 4' wide for reference.

Thanks - yea no massive GHA return since the electric toothbrush runs about a month ago (I bought a backup one just incase though haha)

Or the CUC is able to handle it now Either way, some bubble algea on powerheads and heaters but whatevaaa

open up the 1st brush and takeout the batteries so you wont need the backup yet!

Yep! Been disassembling for inspection/cleaning after each run and storing with batteries removed, so far so good! First $12 brush made 3 runs without any signs of issues

PS, saw a label created for those light shades Sam...

Little maintenance today, getting ready for 1-2 weeks away from the tank. 15% WC, knocking bubble algea off the powerheads (out of the tank), skimmer man-cleaned (hot water) & temp collection bucket emptied, 16 gal ATO topped up & sensor cleaned, auto feeder filled yadda yadda.

No GHA re-invasion since removal, but little bubble algea on the powerheads, wavemaker, heaters. Little algae scrubbers..

Clowns are like, whuteva.

Posing by my dead leather frag. Who can't keep leathers..

Goni jammin'

Skimmer/ATO ready.

FTS

LFS is on the way home, we'll see what happens...

Leathers do great in my biocube… but do well for a little while in the evo and then just stop and eventually die

At least I know what's getting my Zoas. Last 2 heads remaining, continuous battle..

I can't keep leathers... Or at least I don't keep leathers anymore since every one I've tried in the old tank died.
