Nice thanks!

Cool, and great to see the other MACNA video are out there too. I can now virtually attend MACNA post MACNA.

Sand dollar Monti would be awesome if you still have one?

Skimming well. The bottom of a 5 gallon skimmate collection 'cup' this morning...

Great find thanks for sharing...

One tip if its not too late. Bird netting from Ace or Wilco is cheap and blocks no light whatsoever. I roll this into a screen just like the BRS stuff. The key is that you want the smaller mesh, not the deer netting but the bird netting. Pled, the feed pipe is a cool idea!

Good deal! I am in, order placed. I love options like this to split shipping or carpool. Sometimes the shipping can be more than the coral on small orders. My first TECO order...

There are some amazing new features including water flow measurement and a PAR meter accessory for 59 bucks!

This is quite interesting... Too bad I am so invested into the APEX, will be watching this unfold from the sidelines... https://www.reefai.com/

I picked up this 5' beckett/downdraft/venturi style skimmer a while back from craigslist, Patrick at Satlwater Fantaseas sold it to me for 75 bucks. What a deal! The dwell time was good, but the bubble size was a little large and the turbulence in the chamber was rough. It skimmed, but it seemed it could be better. Rudy suggested I convert it over to a recirculating skimmer. Great idea! At the same time I was wondering if a Jebao DC pump could be a skimmer pump as well. Old news these days, but at the time it was hardly google-able not many were doing it. This job called for an expert in mechanical design, and it turns out we have one here in the forum (don't kill me Jeff ). BlueZReef is an engineer and all around handy and friendly guy. He offered to design and print a DC12000 pinwheel. The old thread is lost with the crash, but he made a winner. Here it is all hooked up to the big skimmer. I owe Patrick, Rudy Golden Basket and Jeff BlueZ a thanks, this turned out great. Visions of gallons of skimmate in the morning are dancing in my head Fun stuff...

Nine heads I'm falling behind Terrible iPhone pic alert

That is awesome! What a great guy glad to hear it...

That nem is UNREAL!! What a beauty!

Will get a fresh pic tomorrow, almost missed this, thanks for keeping it going...

You da man! Thanks!

Definitely save me a piece Brad! Thanks!!

Oh wow that sounds so fun, definitely on the bucket list. His name around here is "TheNasoTang"

Happy Birthday Thomas!

Hey hey, looking good. So this is the marine strain right? I still have your fresh strain going (barely) but am going to let it go if you are good. Tell us more about the marine stuff, care etc...?

Awesome. thanks!! This fish is like a part of our family, very cool to see he is 'famous' on the internet at least here locally. There are some amazing photographers in our forum, I have allot to learn yet. Truly quite an honor to win. Jeremy

I did no conversion! Good catch. Things are looking good all the best to your new build.

Hey ya, thats better thanks

I LOVE ROCK NEMS! Super colorful, hardy and they don't hardly move. No worries of stinging SPS. My mini maxis move about 10x as much as the rock nems. So cool there is another rock nem fan in town. Congrats Brad!

Thanks for the update and bringing this thread back. I am counting on this insurance plan. I am an APEXjunkie now...

Great thanks for the update. Cannot wait to see pics!
