Ozzy better start earning his keep. He is the father of a ton of illegitmate babys. If only we could figure out how to raise a few.
Last night I did my parameter testing, saved superman from the evil crabs and toped of with ph and alk buffer. Fed tank last night too. I need to target feed corals tonight.

I added a Phosban reactor with NP Biopellets....and had a staring contest wit my cleaner shrimp and lost. Then realized I need to get to work.
Let's see.. I need to magfloat all 4 sides, do a 25 gallon water change, get the skimmer back online, and feed the fish.. Should be done in 15 minutes, if I ever get moving..
Out of town for two days... returned home and noticed a black, oval shaped, protruding spot on one of my clowns. (She acts fine). Took some pictures and will blow them up in Photoshop to see if I can get a better idea of what's going on. (Dang it... hold still!) Will probably post pictures later and ask for help.

Gave a good sized Kenya tree to Llewella for her seahorse tank. Got a few more growing so it's a good thing to thin the herd. Dosed and topped off. Fed them. Had some friends over with kids who always get a kick out of my fish.
Peppermints are good at eating aiptasia. I've been nuking mine with caustic soda in a long glass pipette. Just a little at a time, mind you, a couple mls. You can screw up your tank quick with that stuff. It's fun to watch them disintegrate.

Moved it into the foyer to make way for flooring. What a blast....NOT
Changed a bulb, cleaned the glass. Then started on Sandie's tank trying to fix the cheap little pump on her baby skimmer. Can't seem to make it work right, and then spent the next hour reconfiguring it only to discover that a MaxiJet, even with the venturi adapter thingy, doesn't make bubbles. For some reason it just pushes water out the tube like a little tiny water fountain.
So, tomorrow I get to try to find a pump like hers before we go out of town this weekend.

Thanks, I'll give that a try. The instructions showed it on the output side, but why am I not surprised that instructions with reef equipment stink? Every single item I own has instructions that were either written by a fourth grader or a non-English speaker who doesn't know a good translator.
About the corals- wow... now I know why you haven't picked up the Blue Iris from Tim even though you've paid for it...
Just Plumbed In A Pro Series Sump... Took All Day To Get It Tuned In, Hoping For The Best...
Anyone Know How To Make A HOB Overflow Quieter???

If the noise is coming from the drain to your sump, and you have the room, you can use an elbow. Otherwise, a piece of bent rigid tubing might work. What you want to try to stop is the "vortex" caused by the water funneling down the hole and making the "slurping" noise, if that is the problem.

With a stand pipe. Since you can't use a durso (unless it's a really big overflow box for some reason), look up the Hofer Gurgle Buster. I ran one when I had a HOB overflow and the thing was silent.
