Cade Chaos Grimoire

Do you use a Klir that replaces filter socks. Thinking trying one but so much bad. I get it’s a drop in so won’t be perfect in ever situations.

Doooo ittttttt

Yes! It was a game changer! I run 1 klir & a cap on the other sock hole. I read a lot of mixed reviews and was on the fence about it initially, also a lot of people saying they had to modify their cade sump for it to work.

It fit perfectly and I didn't have to mod anything. I've had a few hiccups here and there - sponge growing on the plate that breaks the seal and has to be scraped up, baby trocus snails getting in the roller and tearing it up, etc etc. None of which are the brands fault, just a risk you run working with living creatures and a reminder to do regular maintenance.

Way better for me though, as I was especially bad about changing socks in a timely manner.

Thank you for taking the time. I understand the issues with snails and stuff. I normally don’t read reviews because most people are the problem or don’t understand. I will not use filter socks. No way no how not happening.
Think I will give it a try.

Great. Not in a Hurry so can search around and take my time. You have 4” or 7”?
Do you have to remove it to change the roll. Probably not a bad thing as it’s a good time to clean it

I've got the 4" Klir and love it as well. I build the sump from a 40 breeder and bought the sump inserts so it had to be modified to install. I added a gasket under the unit to make it seal better but it works great. I also had to modify the klir and add a few small pieces of acrylic to the sensor area so I could lower the sensor a bit but all was pretty easy. I've had it running for over a year now and maybe replaced roll 4 times. Never had socks and since these rollers work so good, never will! One thing to note, I think they strip so well if you run a skimmer as well you will probably not need as large of a skimmer. Between the two it pulls a lot and the tank runs at low nutrients.

Thank you so much for writing that. Good chance my skimmer is a little smaller That needed but we’ll figure that out when the time comes

Oh yeah, I've mentioned it a few times but my skimmer barely does anything now. I keep it running for aeration purposes now I guess. It picks up some gunk occasionally. I also run an ats. My nutrients have never been so under control with zero effort on my part lol

I change my rolls about every 1.5 months though, because I feed fish and corals heavily. Don't want those nutrients bottoming out with all the hard work my equipment is doing on my behalf. Or something.

Clown check..

Your additions are very pretty.

We added three to one established in the enemy tank.

Two of the additions just paired off, in the original clown named fish stick, killed the fourth within hours it seems. Super pretty mocha Storm. I don't like fish stick right now.

Little brats are doing well, thankfully. Fish stick sounds like she might need to become her name.

I don't normally name fish but this clown came with the reefer with that name. I like it it's fun.

Happy 5 yr wedding anniversary to us!

Spent the morning mixing up strontium to correct the tank.

Headed to brunch soon, then the grocery store to buy some white chocolate so I can make matcha white chocolate brownies.

I think today is the day I fix the brackets to get the ATO lid on. We'll see.

We used to always go to Ren fest on/around our anniversary - then the pandemic happened and they moved sites & the new location sucks in comparison and isn't worth the drive. When we get in the new house it'll only be about 30min away though so we'll start going again.

Here's a fun photo from a few years ago, I *can* pass as a human occasionally. Who knew.

Happy Anniversary Guys. That looks like a lot of fun, other than I don't see anybody holding goblets.... How is one to consume their mead?

One does barrel stands to consume mead. Makes for a joyous time.

I was thinking there must have been an urgle horn beerbong somewhere.

 

[danieyella]

Also, look at us. We've clearly been consuming the mead prior to these photos

I've heard the Renn Fair can get pretty wild.
