teenyreef Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 A few more photos for a Saturday! Cynarina looking for more food: Polyps: Some gorgonian shots: Miscellaneous stuff: Mushie: One of my LE ghost polyps: Another gorg: Torch: Blasto: And I forgot some photos of RFAs! What was I thinking. They're all sorts of contorted today so I'm hoping that means they'll spawn Crab is fishing for food: This one looks all bent out of shape New page quote! The pictures look great - I had to check to make sure I was in the right thread when I saw so many pictures! Link to comment

yoshii Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 How are you doing, Yoshii???? I'm doing good I've missed being on NR! Glad to see this tank is doing good! So many pictures! Those rock flower nems look amazing! Do they spawn often? Link to comment
FlowerMama Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 And that blasto is gorgeous! Link to comment
ReefWeeds Posted February 21, 2016 Author Share Posted February 21, 2016 Great close ups! I love the yellow on those palys! And of course I love the flowers! You got some nice closeups. thanks Annette! I love those polyps too! It was just a mixed no-name frag I got from Glenn. I really like the coloring of those and the ones next to it. I'm doing good I've missed being on NR! Glad to see this tank is doing good! So many pictures! Those rock flower nems look amazing! Do they spawn often? How's school? Good? Are you enjoying it? We've missed YOU on NR! and thanks I wish I could take photos half as good as you! I am loving the rock flowers I've seen them spawn three times now - all within a three week period about a month and a half ago. But I'm thinking I've just missed some other spawning events. And that blasto is gorgeous! Thanks A! Link to comment
gena Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 Great pics!!!! I love the closeups of the gorgs the best . The day is not complete unless the dogs steal your seat. Hey, that rhymes! There's Chloe's twin . Cute picture . Chloe is wearing the donut of shame right now. She had the cone of shame but I thought getting her a donut would be nicer for her. She keeps licking her back on the side and she's losing hair where she licks. Instead of spending even MORE money on her I want to see if this will do the trick. If she starts it up again I guess off to a doggie dermatologist she goes . Link to comment
Sk8n Reefer Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 Great new pics.....love the dog pic too? How ya liking your skimmer? Have you been able to pull some "coffee" dark out? I am not able to get it that dark. ? Link to comment

Once she started taking that allergy medication apoquel, it literally was life changing for her. Allergy shots didn't work. Steroids. Nothing. But for over a year now she has been great! Great new pics.....love the dog pic too How ya liking your skimmer? Have you been able to pull some "coffee" dark out? I am not able to get it that dark. Thanks Sk8n!!! I'm loving the skimmer! I'm getting nice dark disgusting skimmate for sure. How about you? Just saw the last sentence. That's frustrating. Link to comment

How deep is the water you have it running in........this is all I get ? It's in about 8" of water. The tube gets some nasty brown build up but not so much in the collection cup Link to comment

The tube gets some nasty brown build up but not so much in the collection cup Mine is in about 8" of water as well. Huh. Yeah, that's totally different than mine. Mine you can't see through at all. Have you tried different settings on the dial? I would turn it to 0 and see if that gets you some drier skim. Which skimmer do you have? Nice pics slacker Thanks Spectra I decided I slacked long enough so I overachieved a bit and dumped a bunch at the same time Did you see my LE Ghost Paly? Link to comment

ReefWeeds Posted February 21, 2016 Author Share Posted February 21, 2016 mind posting a pic of ur skimmer collection cup? i am interested to know what's dark / dry skim is like. Here's the grossness in all its glory: This is actually an older photo... I'll get one today when I clean it out during a water change. Link to comment

Have you tried different settings on the dial? I would turn it to 0 and see if that gets you some drier skim. Which skimmer do you have? I have the 301. Ya, I adjust it quite a bit to try and run it dry but it won't even reach the cup if you go to low. It's pretty sensitive - very slight turns and changes the water height. I get a solid black/brown waste in the top of the tube but it doesn't spill over ? The dog/cat pics are amazing ? Yup that the skimate I want ? Can not get it no matter what I do. The skimmer will run with nothing spilling over for days if I adjust the water level to low As I said- I get that build up in the tube just before it spills over but it doesn't get in the collection cup. I have to wipe down the tube to get it out Link to comment

The skimmer will run with nothing spilling over for days if I adjust the water level to low hmm. Mine I think is a different setup than the 301. It was pretty sensitive after I gave it a vinegar bath and it would go crazy and skim wet really easily. I took out the tube and ran it fully open for a week and then it was nice and broken in again. I haven't had too much trouble dialing it in. Maybe see if you can sell that one and get the 302? Although the footprint of mine is HUGE. I also feed really heavily - not sure if that would have an impact. Or what about placing it on a little lift or something? Just to raise it a bit more out of the water. Link to comment
Sk8n Reefer Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 Can you get a side shot so I can see where your keeping the water level at? Could the tank be running to clean at this point- no fish in there but I am feeding daily with liquid and flake for the corals and hermits. I am not running any carbon or GFO at the moment Link to comment
