Lol. Same here...

Consider it practice for siphoning crud out of your tanks sand bed.

I actually would like someone to deliver SW to my house. With my new builds, I will be overwhelmed hauling filtered NSW from Neptune

I wish I lived closer to Neptune! Actually. My wallet is happy I live far away.

I work minutes away from Neptune... unfortunately.... but online buys cost me the most as the things I get are beyond Neptune's scope

But, they are great folks! I visit weekly

There are places that will deliver it to you but usually you have to buy like 400 gallons at a time.

i was wondering how people start a 100+ gallon tank. would be a LOT of trips to a store for SW, or take awhile with mixing. although i guess people with big tanks also have big mixing stations.

Lol... that's the problem.

The look on my wife's face would be priceless when I get a 400G tank installed in the courtyard where my office and tanks are.

Maybe I will convine her, it's industrial art. Heh

When I get my new tanks up, I will probably run faucet water with dechlorinator... thoug ht about it long and hard but just no good way

...even calculated number if trips to whole foods for RODI or Neptune for my usual good stuff. Not feasible without a lot of effort.

The SF, my area in Mtn View gets Hetch Hetchy...

Why not just get an RO/DI system?

Okay! so noticed something new with the duncan when i got home.


First i noticed the black dot on the disk part.
Second, i think it is starting to make a new head?

Just plain lazy... mixing SW is my least fave part of the hobby. So rarely mix water now unless I have to.... @1.25 / gal Ca+ dosed and buffered to 420 at Neptune, it's pretty cost effective after you figure out cost of salt, RODI bought or time waiting for RODI to fill...

Hard to tell... assume you've looked for a pest or something already?

 

[jorahx4]

yes, no visible pest.
i did notice a brown spot on one of my torches the other day, similar size on a tentacle.

Duncans usually grow new heads on the side right under the tentacles and flesh of the existing Duncan head. Not my picture, but here's an example off found on Google.

thank you! i assumed a new head because the tentacles on the left were looking different.

Update!
the black spot on the duncan has moved? or something. sorry for bad photo, i walked by and noticed it as the lights were getting dark.

also this random dark spot on the torch
