End shot

Squamosa clam I got


It came with a bonus commensal shrimp inside!


Unfortunately I only had an iphone with me to snap a shot.

Right now I'm working on dialing in my dosing regime and getting all my parameters where I want them via automation and less hands on daily dosing.

Off the top of my head;
Ca 430ppm
dKH 8.1
Magnesium 1100ppm

I've been working my way through the end of some different salt types here lately and its been playing a bit with the parameters. Its a bit funny to do a WC once and have your dKH increase with one brand of salt and have it decrease with another.

It looks great!

Did you intend for your photo captions to sound like a poem?

One of my old big squammies had a commensal shrimp. It is so cool to catch a glimpse of those! (Unfortunately that clam is no longer with us ).

Thanks!

No, my poetry was unintentional.

Awe, poor squammie.

Thank you!

Yesterday the pump for the 4-way on the left side of the tank got swapped out from a Reeflo Hammerhead to a Waveline 2650 DC pump. The Ocean Motions is running the version of the drums where you have two outputs active at once, like 1,3, then 2, 4. The flow is not bad, good for this stage of the tank and the 2" inlet is now now longer sporting such a strong an undertow.

Also added on the moonlights last night, a combination of red and blue RKE LED moonlights. The balance is probably 75% blue and 25% red. I'd like to add more red I think.

Unfortunately it doesn't photograph well. You can somewhat make out the galaxy and the Pachyseris corals.

With the DC pump, did you reduce the 2" intake at the pump, or closer to the inlet?
