Salty Sunday Weekly Recap

The recap has been retired. Thank you for following.

Hello fellow reefers! We all miss good content during the week due to the volume of posts. Each Sunday I have been posting some fun and interesting new threads I stumbled upon that you might enjoy (in no particular order). Some you may have seen already, but hopefully there are many new ones for you to discover. I encourage everyone to post any threads I may have missed and remember to like your favorites. Thanks and have a great read!

For those who wish to follow, all future recaps will be posted in this one main thread.

I think this is a great idea as I don’t know about you guys but I’m always missing great threads especially new build threads.

The Reef Tank 365 award has also been a good idea for spotting missed threads.

Anyway thank you for taking the time to do this, and I’m certainly watching!

Adding a link I forgot earlier. @WallyB produced a cool video comparing flow. It includes a Sea Swirl with different sized Random Flow Generators and a Maxspect Gyre. A good build thread overall.

Folks, I am retiring the recap. It was fun to do, but I started getting the R2R email recaps and they are very comprehensive. I think they are a great way to discover missed content. Way more threads than I could ever assemble.

Thanks to all who followed along!
