Tank has come a long way in recovery over the last few years!The tank madness continues! I'm wondering if I have a hitchhiker pistol shrimp. That would actually be pretty great. I've noticed this a couple of times in the last week or so. It always happens at night. I just might have to pull out the red flashlight and do a little nighttime spying.
I have some kind of earth mover, pushing the sand around at night. The only thing I've ever seen do this before was a pistol shrimp. My only "sand dwellers" are the large Tongan nassarius snails. They just pop out of the sand when food arrives and go right back in. I have a yellow WM goby. He will do some sand sifting, but never to this extent (and not at night). The powerheads haven't been moved, and if it was a powerhead, I would expect sand blowing around (and why does it just happen at night??). The Kole tang is kind of pointing at it.I guess for now, the mystery will continue!
I had that same problem with the plastic screws but was able to buy replacement ones for my Reef Octopus. If they sell replacement screws you know they know it’s a problem. The plastic thumb screws are easy to get off but the titanium ones that require a hex nut tool thingy last longer but are more of a pain to remove. I still think you can’t go wrong with a Reef Octopus skimmer though. But if you can afford a reeflife skimmer, you can use pretty much any pump with it.
I agree! Have any favorite of the favorites?
I love them all
I'm with @MrsBugmaster, I love them all!
), and the instructions were very clear.

It's already producing nice icky brown skimmate. I haven't had a skimmer running at all for about 2 weeks now, so I'm sure it has plenty of junk to skim. I've tried to feed lightly during this time!
They look much better than mine.
I need to do some fragging!! Mine has to be at least 5 inches across! He has a list and is supposed to call if anything looks “off.”
On another note, my tanks are at the mercy of my husband.
