It's been a very long time since i last posted on here, busy with 2.5 jobs .5 being photography

felt like sharing some shots of my system.

Thanks guys!
Hello Steve, long time no see.

Notice all the pocillipora, Those are babies from a mother colony i lost during a power outage.
the mom was dropping babies all over the tank last year, at first i thought they were algae but my gut said let it grow and this is the result.
Be warn this is a known issue with them, ok, I only found out after it happened, never heard anyone on marsh going through that.

That's cool! I hope you decide to keep the tank up and going. What type of skimmer do you have that needs new impeller?

 

[steveb]

Felix if you need to borrow a skimmer while yours is down I have a e-shops PSK-75H w/sicce pump that you are welcome to use.

Thanks Steve, it's a cad lights skimmer, forgot the model.
I have countless used skimmers at my disposal (FJW) think I'm going to see how the system performs without one.

 

[steveb]

k. I figured as much but thought I would offer.

Looking good Felix! Glad you started posting again.

Hey Felix,
My poci dropped babies everywhere too. I didn't know that was a "thing". They just started popping out of crevices in the rock work last year. weird.
