Thanks, I like it. Might use it for some of my flying vids.

Brief update, my QT'ing male Carpenters wrasse has finally started eating pellets the last day or two. :D

Last round of TTM happening right now, should be finished Tuesday morning...

Diatoms are showing up good now. Here's another little clip from tonight. Diatoms are definitely more visible than in the clip...

Got my Reef Octopus RODC 3500s skimmer pump today. Thanks Ray! It doesn't match the skimmer body input tube - but I knew that. Nothing I had on hand fit the 32mm thread on the pump. By dumb chance I happened to notice a piece of thin wall, non pressure rated 1/2 PVC I had laying there. Turns out it fits perfectly inside the pump housing and inside the input tube of the skimmer. And the inside of the pipe diameter is still larger than the inside of the pump volute discharge. :D The total run from pump to skimmer body is less than 6" so I'm not even worried I might lose any flow.
Ran it in the sink for an hour or so with vinegar, another hour with fresh water, then into the sump it went. We'll see if it produces any skimate by morning...

Been a while since my last update. The male carpenters has been doing great in the DT. I also bought 4 female and 1 male Lyre tail anthia's from a newish retailer on the mainland. (not sure if I'm allowed to mention him, don't think he's a sponsor :( ) They are awesome specimens!
QT went great. Went through a full TTM regimen. Put them in the DT on Fri and they've adjusted really well.

Here's a couple pics in the QT:

Awesome looking Lyretails Dom! I was looking at those very ones at 'unnamed suppliers' house a few weeks back, lol. Nice specimens!

Very nice Dom. I want to see that thing full of Sps! :biggrin:

Hmmm, I didn't realize that I hadn't updated this since the seal blow out on my 77 gal and had to make an emergency swap of most of the live stock into the 210. Well, let's just say there's a bit more going on in there now. I'm just waiting for youtube to load up a clip and I'll post it.
