Hmm.. trying wet skimming. This was cleaned last Saturday. I wonder if it will last until Saturday.
I will probably dial it back a bit.

Philly Reefer · Oct 15, 2020

Skimmer almost full today so I cleaned it out and dial back the foam.

On another obsevation... I probably need to clean my Prime 16HD fans.. they are loud...

Woo hoo

The Pistol Shrimp and YWG paired up. Not even a day!

Philly Reefer · Oct 17, 2020

Dang it .. they moved.. yesterday they were in a perfect spot to be watch. Right next to the glass.

Now they are in between 2 rocks... I can still watch the YWG but not the shrimp

Ty. I would if I have kalk.

I just put epoxy over it.

Hopefully that's my only saga vs the dreaded Aiptasia

And .. totally forgot to turned off my skimmer. Overflowed a bit.

Philly Reefer · Oct 19, 2020

Stupid big conch kept knocking over my frag plugs.. had to improvise

If only its black. O well..

Philly Reefer · Oct 20, 2020

My skimmer finally stopped overflowing. But I did put the stand back in. Without the stand, the dial was almost open all the way, now with the stand. It's on 2. So I have more flexibility on that dial

Finally got my mp10 wetside replacement.

Philly Reefer · Oct 25, 2020

Weekly update.
Moved some corals around and I have some growth on the zoas that are in the plug.
I want to try to frag it 1st before glueing them on the rock
