Good news my refractometer came in the mail, bad news coralife is a liar and my sg is off (1.026) not bad but the kicker is the premixed water I bought (nutri-seawater by natures ocean) sits at 1.030 sg!!!!! holy crumbs! I wish the placed it on the label, thank goodness for my over zealous FWTO's lol

As for awesome meet the two newest members of my little pico

Fred and Barney the turbos!



and this is night time (other than my flash) for the pico itself! seen here first lawls!

I think two turbos for a pico is just too many. Even one turbo might starve. Turbos are voracious eater and I think you might want to move to something slower and less voracious.

Google around. There are hundreds of stories of anemone being sucked into power heads and filters. It is advised to put some screening or other protection around PH until they settle... even then they could release at anytime and decide to go for a float.

Ya I think roaming and got suckrd up. I guess ill have to make a guard up for the filers intake out of a pill bottle. Much like a snail guard for floats
