Jesus's 20 gallon reef.

wasn't able to edit post so I'm sorry for the double post.

My new skimmer came in for black Friday! Now I'm really over skimming haha. I'm in love with the sn143. It's skimming like a champ and it's not even broken in yet.

Im going to be removing the gyre and replacing it with 2 Jebao rw4. The gyre is just to wide of a pattern and no matter where I place it it'll kick sand up.

I'm also going to be replacing the sicce 3.5 for a Jebao dc6000 return pump. I'm not getting enough flow to power three reactors and the tank.

I'm battling dinos right now thanks to my lfs. So I'll be going through a black out period for the next few days.

My blue maxima seems to have pinched mantle so I'm tying to figure out how to make it happy again so it'll recover.

Got my clean up crew from reefcleaners Saturday evening and so that'll help with any future algae blooms.

The dinos seem to be subsiding since I blacked out the tank. Really want to kill this stuff before it goes nuclear on me.

I dipped my maxima in some temp/pH matched rodi water for 30 minutes and that seems to have gotten rid of the pinched mantle. It does looks like some of the zooxanthellea has left the clam as the center seems almost bleached after the dip. I've moved the clam to a slightly lower light area for now.

Tomorrow is the wwc live sale so I'll update with what I was able to score.
 
Ill post update pics tomorrow. Tank will soon be broken down and changed over to a 40b. This tank is just WAY to shallow. I can't place acro's anywhere without either running my lights at 25% or risk bleaching them.

Yeah I know.. M I've already spilled the skimmate on it twice. Once on me once on the carpet. And I carbon dose so it was black sludge... What I did to fix it was add Vaseline to the gasket.
