tlhood's first tank - 34g RSM 130D

[tlhood]

I am loving this skimmer. It is pulling skimmate like mad, which is expected because I spoil my fish. The stock skimmer pulled basically nothing, and this baby is a machine.
Coincidence or not (I think not) for the first time in almost 2 months the polyps on my needle in a haystack sps, and the tips of my toadstool are open. Also one of my nems split, so now I have three of the buggers running around my tank. The only thing not looking do hot is my green monti cap, which I think died when we were doing bathroom renos. =[

How do you like your collection cup? does it fit well?? maybe it's just mine but my cup does not seem to fit tightly. it works great. less heat( which is important). please post your tank picture

The collection cup is fine, it fits into the back just perfectly, and I like that the lid flips over and clips into the bottom so that no crud drips out as you move it to the sink.

The cup isn't a snug fit, but it sits fine in the top. As long as I keep an eye on it to make sure my water level doesn't rise above it, the cup not "clipping in" isn't an issue for me.

here are some really crappy phone pics of the tank. don't mind everything on the sand. I plan on mounting stuff once I sell two of the nems.

Looks like its coming a long well. How is the mushroom I gave you doing?

[tlhood]

Its doing well. When I was doing my bathroom renos (of course when I had almost 0 access to the tank) it got stung by my nem and the edges disintegrated. But after a couple weeks it was good as new. Its probably the size of a quarter.

I want to get it up on the rock with the rest of the shrooms, but one half of a nem keeps flipping over the top and I'm worried it will be a jerk and sting it. Can't wait for them to heal so I can sell them off.
