Ummmmm. Tampa Bay Saltwater Rock. 6 months and this is only the base
I have a nice orange tunicate but hard to get a picture. Cup coral is growing pretty well.
And no…absolutely no bacterial dosing or chemicals in this system. Crazy.
And that’s Üter chowing down on the shrimp I just gave her. This morning was two local oysters.

Todays task. Finally making a mount for the RODI so it’s portable. Will make it easy to pull out when changing filters but leave under the cabinet for use. Left the waste line and output lines long to reach the bathtub for any accidental spills. Tomorrow I’ll probably actually plug the hoses in.

So I hooked up the booster pump finally. Went from 32psi to90psi and had to turn it down some to 80. Seems to run now at about 1 gallon per 7 minute.

And I really think this girl knows the camera is there. Might have to mount it on the other side of the room. Who’s watching who?

And those two peppermint shrimp are still there. I think they crawl on her arms.

I thought I had good news this morning when I saw this. But then fished it out and realized it was just the shed. So we’re getting bigger unfortunately. And Üter hung out in the corner for a while after the water change.

Finally got the other nem guard so I can install the other MP40. Going to leave it off for a few days so she gets used to it being there and doesn’t get upset. Thinking one a foot in from the front and one a foot in from the back on opposites sides to make a slight vortex. Or will place directly across from each other when I find out what works. Only guards I could find that have the smallest sluts in the front. Seriously the size of the stock Vortech I can fit my thumb through.
