I said I would not cut one, I did not say I would not ever sell one of the colonies. . . But yes, everything has a price.

I don't know if you missed the post, so just posting again.
Terence, have you thought of using an algae scrubber? I was wondering if you would share your thoughts on one. I was considering running one but not convinced of one just yet.
Thanks

Terence · Oct 1, 2016

Yes. I had thought of it. But in my opinion algae scrubbers are best for situations where you have limited space and the cost of electricity is low. In my situation I can run 50w of light for 8 hours a day over a 2'x3' section of my simp and grow all the algae I want. Most do not have that luxury and in those cases they are worthwhile. For me having a great little Refugium/algae zone with numerous types of macroalgae is the way to go because all sorts of pods, snails, and other critters keep up the biodiversity.

You're building a turtle tank?!?

Also; so THAT'S where my ruler got to. And here I thought my 2yr-old took it...

(And: Irony: a torn "fragile" sticker.)

My guess is it's a firetruck? Maybe a frisbee?

I thought I would zoom in on the package and see where it came from but someone has blurred the from and to addresses.
The bar-code cant be read either, all I can say for sure that it was shipped from overseas.

Please end the suspense and show us what is in the box.

Evel Kanevel Super wind up toy?
But it does seemed to have originated from Neptune to Terence, so possibly Apex stuff, but, unless its a lot of Apex stuff the box is too big for that. Oh, unless, it's a few Energy Bar832s to replace all eb8s.
And an FMM with ATO kit.
