Wow man things sure did turn around it's nice seeing so many nice big colonies and they look great too. What's the orange covering across that one big round boulder? Is it some sort of encrusting coral or what?

Wow looks great

I've seen this tank in person and the pictures do not do it justice.

Brad's fish are GIGANTIC! Very healthy and active... loved seeing it up close.

I don't know. I can say that this kind of snail is ALWAYS the kind of shell that I find in my pumps, although they are usually 1/4 the size of this particular one. I believe they are a carnivorous type because they are always first on the scene of another snail's death.

G6 has long been replaced. My current skimmer is double the volume of the G6 and nearly 2 feet taller. You can read about that install. It started on pg 84!

While I was looking at the tank today, I thought..."there still seems to be some microbubbles floating around...." Not nearly as many as a few days ago, but still some.

So I decided to take apart my return pump, even though it had been completely cleaned out only 2 months ago.

Here is what I found. I believe I have located the final source of microbubbles in the tank. The intake strainer in my sump had become detached and I didn't think it would matter. I guess it does.

WOW! Hahah! Im surprised it didnt sound like there was a handful of rocks in the pump. Crazy.
