A week ago I bought a couple felt filter socks, just to see how long they'd last before overflowing
I'm quite happy to say they're not even close to overflowing yet
I was only getting a day, or even only half a day, with the mesh socks
I thought it was the excess algae in my DT, but with it gone, such is not the case
Here's the kicker
The mesh socks are 300 micron, and the felt are only 200
So, I've bought more felt to have 2 full sets and the mesh are going into a box, only to be used when the felts are in the wash

So nice not to have to change socks first thing in the morning and then worry about getting home to do it again
Plus washing socks every 2 or 3 days was getting a little old

My felt socks initially lasted over a week when they were new. Now they last just under a week before they start to overflow. I am still working out a good way of cleaing them. The washer works but it's not perfect. I think I have 8 socks now that I alternate in and out before I have to breakdown and clean them.

Smudge, Hector and Bennie went into the DT last night and have settled in nicely
Smudge has eaten all the turf algae already

I may have to start saving for a better camera

Bennie found himself some tunnels to hang out in inside probably the best rock for viewing him

Wow dude, everything is looking great. I see that birdsnest is growing quite a bit. I think it's almost time for a visit. I will have to bring some presents over.

Thank you. Took me 4 attempts to get it to this point

Thanks Rich. I can't wait for some massive growth
The birdsnest is doing well, but a lot of what you see are all the extra frags you gave me
Maybe you could bring your camera with you ? Please ?
Presents are always good

Here's Smudge
He's still a bit leery sometimes



And this is Hector
He's munching away on isopods
I just missed all the sand coming out his gills

Funny I was gonna ask you what camera you are using to shoot? I like your pictures, and of course I will bring my camera over. anytime.

It's a Sony point and shoot
It only retails for around $350
It does the job for build pics, but I can't get any decent coral shots of anything that's not near the front
I'm thinkin' I'll have to start saving for something like yours
