pgrVII Posted July 26, 2019 Author Share Posted July 26, 2019 @patback You were asking about sleeping habits,Dragonpig did this tonight as soon as lights out went down. It was really cool to watch. I kinda suspect his activity level will increase tomorrow after I put the new lights in.🐲🐖😎 3 Quote Link to comment

pgrVII Posted July 28, 2019 Author Share Posted July 28, 2019 So far I'm rather impressed with this skimmer. It started skimming right away. No micro bubbles are detected,I removed the foam didnt want to have to clean it and it doesnt seem to be an issue. Also, required no jankin around to fit it,just dropped right in and requires slight movements of the magnet to adjust. Very high quality so far. A+ 2 Quote Link to comment

pgrVII Posted August 3, 2019 Author Share Posted August 3, 2019 Updates on the tank. Did a 5 gallon water change as I think it's been close to a month since my last one.(?)🤔 Had to siphon out a bit of cyano mostly around Jables house which is kinda expected. He made a roof access to his caves and I put the siphon tube in it to pull gunk out at water change time,he sits and just looks totally floored I'm doing that. 😂 1 2 Quote Link to comment

pgrVII Posted August 4, 2019 Author Share Posted August 4, 2019 Also,after doing a water change,the skimmer remained consistent in its skimming. Definitely a noteworthy accomplishment for a nano skimmer. 2 Quote Link to comment

Even my big skimmer... every time I would shut it off and back on without even cleaning it, I would have to reset it again so that it wouldnt just spew water out the top. It took maybe a year for it to stop doing that. Everything is looking good in here. 🙂 I'm liking the zoa garden. 2 1 Quote Link to comment

I've had pretty good luck with skimmers over the years but this one is by far top notch Ive used. True plug and play. Yea the Zoas are takin off nicely. 1 Quote Link to comment
Elizabeth94 Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 Looking good, really like your rockwork. Beardie looks content too. Thats a bioactive terrarium? I still have a couple herpstats, heat panel and a misting system I was using for my old boa. Was thinking about putting together a crested gecko tank but its more likely that ill just sell it all. 1 1 Quote Link to comment
