Yeah I was gonna say, even if it looks alright I probably wouldn't use it for anything more than maybe heating saltwater for WCs or something like that. Never trust a heater that's been running dry, especially if you don't know exactly how long it was running that way. =x 1 Quote Link to comment

Tigahboy Posted September 9, 2019 Author Share Posted September 9, 2019 @billygoat and @DSFIRSTSLTWATER The Cobalt Neotherm seems fine and temp is still accurate, but yes, not a bad idea to get a new one. I don't trust heaters at all either - no matter what brand. 1 Quote Link to comment

Tigahboy Posted September 11, 2019 Author Share Posted September 11, 2019 Last night's view. Still waiting for my latest softies to attach to their rock rubble pieces so I can place them on the scape. Going to wait another week to be safe. Also need to settle on my next coral additions. 🤔 8 1 Quote Link to comment

Tigahboy Posted September 15, 2019 Author Share Posted September 15, 2019 The sinularia and nephthea have attached to their rock rubble pieces, so trying out placement ideas. Here's a potential placement for the sinularia frags high up on the scape. What do you think? Too close to the pavona? Too much light? 1 Quote Link to comment

I feel like those sinularia are probably going to end up getting pretty large when they start to grow in, which would put them uncomfortably close to the surface of the water if they are super high up the scape like that. Could be worth trying if they end up doing well in that spot though? 🤷♂️ 1 Quote Link to comment

Here's a shot of 2 of them on the sand. 8 Quote Link to comment

I wonder if you could have a similar effect either fighting against static-flow with a single aqamai @ 100% or with a static-flow in-line with a wave-making aqamai... So many questions, I need a test rig lol. And quite a few deserts are known for their spontaneous and brutal winds... 1 1 Quote Link to comment
