Haha. I meant my thread about whether I should feed the pods in my fuge at this point but thanks for the input lol...

But to answer your questions it a) sucks hard and b) lights off for a month I'm guessing but we'll see what the test kits tell me. Ammonia is STILL under 0.25 so maybe this rock wasn't that grungy?

I asked the kids yesterday who wanted to clean the skimmer cup. My bad.

Teddy bear looks like your best bet...

Adorable kids, I would be wanting to clean it now rather than later

Unless you have it all stocked and are going to suprise us with photo's!

I'm bored waiting for my bacteria to get it on. Here's some quick and dirty pics:

Fuge with some rock and live rubble. My pods are growing in numbers. You can see my heaters and a bunch of rock tossed in the return area of the sump. Keeps the display nearly bubble free.

Skimmer right after I cleaned it. Already has a bit of stinky water in the cup. I'm excited to see what this thing can do with a bioload. Far left is my 20 gallon reservoir I empty to do water changes. Filter sock on my herbie is already pretty dirty.

I'm a nerd. So what!

FTS showing the 2 pieces of seed rock in the display. One on each shelf/tower.

Glow off the rocks makes the water appear cloudy but it's quite clear right now.

Left side of my water-change cabinet.

Hard to get a decent shot in the top ro/di reservoir. I extended a 90 out from my emergency overflow bulkhead and then glued my float valve to it. Osmolator pump in there too. It's neat working in my office (same room) and hearing that little pump kick on knowing it's taking care of my system.

Nice photos! You have an amazing eye for aethestic details. I know you were all trying to sound manly before and not know a thing about the pheasant balls but I no longer believe you. Those things are totally yours aren't they, not your wife's! If nerddom doesn't work out for you you could consider a career in interior design, reef style. No seriously, the way you make an empty tank photograph so nice is quite frankly .. kind of disgusting, and I'm thinking I should just hire you to take every picture I want to post of my own stuff from now on.. I bet I can't afford you though now that you're all famous and stuff.
