Colorful lol, you are funny. :biggrin:

You should post on peters thread too, he has lots of free frags too Warrren.

So I have been keeping a log for all my test results and I noticed my Alk was slowly declining, finally got the laptop out to boost it up a bit through profilux but realize I set the doser to the wrong plug....sigh:drinking: musta been a cloudy that day. Second screw up was the biopellet reactor, for the longest time I couldn't figure out why the flow was so damn slow, pellets are barely moving through it no matter how big of a pump I put on it, then one day, I was looking through my fish stuff and found the other next reef reactor and realize I mixed up the lids, one was 1/2 and the other is 5/8, needless to say you guys should see em tumbling now. Last retarded thing I did was after a late night dipping session, I grab the dipping cups turned around BOOM! snaps my stand cabinet door almost clean off. Wayne was sleeping on my couch, he jump up so fast like shots were fired it was almost comical.

Anyways, besides all of that, tank is doing pretty good.

Purchased these 2 items....yes I know, I am a sucker for gimmicks.

Truthfully both items work and they work well.

Algae clip

pro: slim design, easy to use, strong magnet, all day grazing pad for those sheep of the sea.
con: wasteful.

One thing I noticed is it takes the fishes a bit of time to realize that it's a food source. Not one fish even took a second look at that thing until I moved my existing algae clip right on top of it a few days later, but once they started to eat out of it performed exactly how it should. Personally, I give it a B+. It would have received an A if I didn't have to waste 1/3 of the nori sheet every change.

Auto Defroster.

pro: multiple usage, good to drop the food in and let it slowly release food. strong magnet.

con: DOES NOT WORK WITH EURO BRACE(for now). defrosting right into the tank (possible adding extra nutrient) single magnet, hard to position without putting your hand in the water.

I think this product is still great, once you set it in place and you don't have an eurobrace it's pretty much drop the frozen food and go. My defroster came in with a bit of excess glue on the bottom and took me a good pull to break it lose, very close to breaking it... of course the reason to take it apart is to clean and or use as a flake feeder without the cups.

All and all, I like both product, ****ty that the defroster didn't come with euro brace adapters but I think I can silicone some magnets on it and make it work. My suggestion is buy buy buy. I got mine at King ed pets as JL hasn't got them yet.

Under water pics
 

Rice reef recently got an olympus under water camera and the pictures taken by it is amazing. I bought this little guy to try to compete, pics to follow.

Looks good, love the tort and that green fuzz u got going on in there :)

Is that a "true" Oregon Tort with lineage and all that schmancy stuff?

Very nice!! Lots of light green, medium green, dark green, greenish yellow, yellowish green!!:lol:
You know I can't wait to see all this in person tomorrow.

Great pics Rich, and thanks for the reviews on the hardware
Interested to see how that camera works out
