A single piece of vertical 1/2" PVC, on a flange or glued to the bottom with graduated lines marked on it. Gallons, days, full/refill...

Agree to the pvc dip stick

Doesn't even have to be pvc. Just a peice of plastic with a line drawn on it to show when full. But I love the idea of it being called a dip stick.

me: why is the scrubber not growing algae?
me: dunno. (shrugs) the tub is growing it fine.
me:

me: the lights are on. could we be leaving them on too long?
me: i don't think that would be a problem.
me: check everything.
me: what's this unplugged plug for?
me:

me: the air pump dummy.

lost momma rbta.

seven splits.

moved all the monti frags i could from the 150.
massive monti nudi outbreak.:mad:
lost the five tiered monti and currently losing the big encrusted one.

went to the local frag show today.
sad. only eight vendors. not many customers.
wish I could have stayed for the raffle.
picked up a baby horseshoe crab, a black sun, and a watermelon/blue tubs zoa combo.
also a yellow coris wrasse for the 150. hopefully it has an appetite for nudi's.

uglies all gone.
and it was very ugly.
never went through anything like that with the 150.

two reasons.
1). less than a month ago it was a cyano/hair algae nightmare.

2). overhead lighting makes pics difficult. me and my r2r gal pal recently got avast marine photo tube thingy's.
we both have the same lights. she has it figured out. i don't.
