[evilexotica]

Yeah traffic went to an hr. Forget that. Leaving early for sure. Problem with that is ot. Is that box worth a hundo. Definitely. Plus don't have to pay for sunshine yuma now.

Should just ask for a gift card for price of Sunshine Yuma.... Know you'll use it

For algae control it is all about processing as much water as you can rapidly. Oversize the UV and run all of your return flow through it. Algae replicates rapidly and you need to zap it before it can reproduce.

What is your current flow rate of your return pump? If it is not fast enough the UV won't be able to keep up with the algae. This is where the closed loop from DT back to DT is best.

You also don't need to run it 24/7 for algae either. I think @billyocean uses his sparingly to clean up if he has a bloom.

Lastly you will see some additional heat and water temp increase using a UV. Just something to be prepared for.

Right now I'm running one pump at around 1800 gph. I like the idea of having a dedicated pump for uv to modify flow

Watch your overflow capacity then. Not sure what you have but 1800gph minus head pressure is alot. Dedicated pump from return to DT only adds to this.

It is.

Mine is next Thursday also... Great excuse to make it a loooong weekend. Taking Thursday and Friday off work

mine is also next thurs and have 1/2 day thurs, friday off and long weekend to boot.

It is.

It's not that much of a deal to be honest because it doesn't include shipping. If I was going to get it, I rather buy it new from Luca. Free shipping and it would be under full warranty. And it's not that much more new. Thanks

This has been the work travel trip from hades. Flying to MIA my flight was delayed multiple times and I had to rebook a different flight but made it after 7 hours being stuck at DFW.

Coming back today, original flight was delayed and I would miss my connection, so rebooked on another airline. Finally landed at LAX and now the terminal is closed due to “security issue” so we’re sitting on the tarmac waiting for that to clear

Some of my Acro Collection

Is this from direct feeding or from broadcast feedings? Primarily broadcast feeding. I just dumped the food over the torch first

For anyone interested I added a little write up on the concotion thread.

Rather have the cash as shane did. It will take me at least 6 years before I see a sunshine again I feel

I watched some teleGraham stuff after you mentioned him the other day. With that said, I’m surprised you’re still using MB7 in your concoction. Especially considering you have BioDigest on hand, even if it is more expensive.

I'm not even sure when I bought it but I had never used it. My intention was to use it as a budget concotion and just alternate.

So far, I've made 3 or 4 batches with bacter7 and 2 or 3 with biodigest.

The benefit seems equal so far. I get more cyano with biodigest, all things the same, FWIW. I plan to continue to alternate until i can identify a discernable difference. Im also still playing around with the recipe and what not.

Full rack… good looking stuff @SBB Corals

Nice. Pics like these really show off how bright a particular coral is…. when next to others. That green flash is super bright! And I think you guys were snagging them in the auction for like $15-$25!

we got another facelift

Maybe when it comes to acro bacteria consumption, the quality doesn’t matter so much.
