HarryPotter Posted February 2, 2018 Author Share Posted February 2, 2018 36 minutes ago, YHSublime said: Looking good. My vote goes for removing the anemones and putting them onto the base of the new rock. I definitely like the new structure in the back, but the anemone rock looks like an afterthought. I don’t like the rock, but it does change the depth of the tank. I don’t want it to seem like a wall. Too lazy to remove all the anemones. 46 minutes ago, HarryPotter said: Yearly sump cleaning, aka “PleaseDontCrash” day ?? I razor out the sump and pump all the nasty detritus into the filter sock. Skimmer is throwing a fit and corals are sliming like crazy! It’s not too dirty, you can see through the display Quote Link to comment

Possibly after falling and hitting the floor. Ill try to send it to ecotech, but I don't have proof of purchase. Maybe silicone it to the glass? Ive never moved it. Quote Link to comment

HarryPotter Posted February 3, 2018 Author Share Posted February 3, 2018 Super clear and I successfully fixed the MP40, just needed the screws tightened up! 5 Quote Link to comment
teenyreef Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 Things look amazing as always, Harry! Glad you fixed the MP40 too. What screws needed to be tightened? You mean on the dry side, right? Quote Link to comment

It was loose, so I jammed the magnet with some rubber and tightened it with loctite. 90% better, like before. Tjanks! 1 Quote Link to comment

Caulerpa taxifolia is exactly what I have. Although to your point I wouldn’t change a thing! Quote Link to comment
