Don't know yet. I don't know who's coming from here yet. If my wife decides on coming she'll most certainly want to do some shopping, so I'll have to bring the car.

... My wife is going... and she would love a reason to shop... but then carrying onto the ferry... it's up to you but I don't mind being a chauffeur.

If you're looking for a single doser with a slower drip rate I recommend the Accudoser II Reef Doser from Oceanic Corals. I've had it running for a couple of weeks now and I'm very happy with it. At 1.5 ml per minute it takes 2 hours to drip the 180 ml of alk my tank requires. And at only $80 it doesn't break the bank.
I tested it with water three times and got exactly the same volume per 2 hours running time. Filll a 1/2 gal container with BRS soda ash, program the doser through the controller and I'm good to go for 10 days before refilling. :biggrin:

Some fish pics and one weird snail

There is no hair algae in this tank except for this thatch growing on the back of a large Turbo snail. "Hey Buddy! You're supposed to eat it not wear it."

This guy is a beautiful fish but what a dink! He hogs most of the food, spits sand over everything, splashes water all over and loves to harrass smaller fishes. He may end up in Dave's huge FOWLR one of these days.

Nice pics, everything looks healthy Except for that snail! Nobody in the tank eats it off the turbo? Wierd

More clowns. You can just see the tail of the wifey ahead of him. I just can't seem to get these two in the same pic.

Only two fish I didn't get. Ruby Headed Wrasse and Coral Beauty Angel. They are both very camera shy and won't co-operate, but I'll get them next time.

No. Weird eh? The LM Blenny scarfs back HA but won't touch it from the snail.
