Lmk how it goes for you. I’m going to call John at advance acrylics for his thoughts since he built the tank for me. Haven’t tried a metal blade. The red plastic Kent scrapper took all the coraline I had off nice and easy. I’d assume if I go with a metal blade I’m going to scratch up the plexi...

Best I could get

Yes. It’s organic whatever it is. It has taken hold and I can’t get it off. The of the tank is clean

I’m trying to get a pic of it. Just not very successful so far. I have a iPhone 16 pro but have no idea how to do anything camera related other than point and shoot. When I look closely at it, it appears snails are able to munch on it because I can see pathways through out. Just really weird I...

Nope, finger nail does nothing. No urchin in the display. I have one down in the sump. Pin Cushion I believe? Should I transfer him up?

So i have been using magic erasers, doddie pads and plastic scrapper to keep the tank clean. But I can’t get off this stubborn algae or whatever film it is. It’s hard to take a picture of, it’s only on the lower qtr of the tank. I almost feel like it’s etched into the acrylic or something. I...

Ya I was thinking of using a dead broken piece of my Monti. It’s a near perfect shape for a cradle.

Thanks for the advice! I’ll weigh these options and proceed carefully. I never thought this would become a problem because I’ve never been able to grow sps. Well now a tiny stick I got at a swap a year ago has exploded in size and growing like crazy!

I have a small clam on a rock that I’d like to move to another location in the tank. I can’t move the rock. It’s being shaded by other coral. Any tips on getting it to release from the rock? I don’t want to injury it. Worst case I trim back the corals near it. Thanks

Well, I stopped being lazy and pulled out the wave box and pump. Impeller seemed to be frozen. A closer look revealed a tiny snail lodged in between the impeller and housing. I removed it and the pump fired right up! Guess I’ll be firing this back up and save myself $400

So stream 3 or Wavebox? Price is similar, so it's not an issue. If i have to keep buying a new Jebao every 6 months, it makes much more since to get the tunze with its 5 year warranty. My only real concern with the wave box is the fact that it will be basically underwater, since my water level...

Huh? I don't understand =)

I’m reviving this thread! So the Jebao just died. Worked well while it lasted…a whole 6 months! Anyways, I like the wave action in the tank. So do I buy another cheap pump or just buy once cry once and get a tunze wave box?

Its a 24v 2.75amp power supply

Mine just took a dump. Good thing I have dual return pumps. Anyone have a compatible power supply lying around? I’m calling simplicity in the morning to see if they will send me a replacement
