LOL yes it does! I cleaned the glass after I took the picture - oops!!! Should have taken another one. ;Facepalm

 

[Frizzles7]

Needed to refresh my clean up crew. Thanks to @reefcleaners for an awesome shipment today!! Everything arrived active and they are already cleaning! The urchin popped the bag in shipping (that almost always happens when I get urchins) and he lost some spines, but he's active, so hopefully he will be all good.

Here's a few pics:

Frizzles,

I am!! I am in the Sniper's Blue grow off!

 

[GoVols]

I am!! I am in the Sniper's Blue grow off!

It looks great!!

@HolisticBear and I saw you on that grow off.

Do you ever go to the Aquatic Critter?

I just go in there to buy LRS Reef Frenzy.

Oh yeah! I go there for LRS Fish Frenzy (the fish seem to prefer this to Reef Frenzy in my case), and anything else that I can't pass up while I'm there.

Lol!!
I hit their freezer and go to check out ASAP.

I've known their lead manger (Chris Richards) since 1986, he's kin to my wife by marriage. Still he him at family outings from time to time.
And known the owner (Chris Beggin) since 1990.

Very nice tank. I am setting up my Max S and I like the way you placed the Tunze pump in the RO chamber. Is it the 3155 pump and how did you close off the Red Sea's gravity ATO?

Also, how are the RFG nozzles? I ordered them from mine as well. ;Woot

Hello @Frizzles7, nice tank, I just found your thread, good looking corals.

I also have a S-500 and I love it. Did you finally replace the C-Skim or followed @GoVols ideas?

I ended up replacing the C-Skim with the Nyos skimmer, and I love it!

Yes, it's the 3155 in there. My float is still in my sump - it's just adjusted so that the water level is always too high for that to engage. It hosts a lot of sponge growth for me.

I like the RFG nozzles. The flow it generates is really nice, though it took me a while to figure out how to point the nozzles to not blow sand everywhere.

Very good several members have Nyos Quantum 160, I have it also, quiet and effective...

 

[vangvace]

Yeah, I'm scared about the sandstorm. Hopefully special grade will be just enough to keep things put versus fiji pink.

On an aside, I was at Lowes today looking for tubing and tried a John Guest 1/4" fitting on the RO reservoir cap. It fits! that might make things so much easier in the future.

 

[najer]

Nyos 160 here also.

Another quick update:

It’s all growing nicely! Fingers crossed!
