Hey timfederwitz please re size your photo's...
Thanks,
Barry
Yes they are way to large. I don't have an iPhone so I can't help you there.How do I do that? I take them from my iPhone and post them through the tapatalk app.
And I'm assuming you're implying they are too large?

But a good size for this site is 900x675 pixels.

H-O-L-Y crap! I finally got the bugger!! Earlier tonight he was up front and we tried to grab him (see earlier post). Then, he was straddling my yellow cucumber and I couldn't tell if he was trying to eat the cucumber or what was under him. Tried to grab him with a gloved hand, but as soon as he saw my hand he boogied out.
Then, I happened to look at the tank and the green grass stalk-thingy in the front of the tank was pulled from the sand and it looked like it was being pushed/sucked into the gave by the flow. I reached in and tried to grab it to put it back and all of a sudden there was strong tension pulling it the opposite direction, and moving fairly quickly! That's when I realized the crab had it and was pulling it into the cave and all the way between two rocks at the back!! That's when I saw him struggling at the back of the tank because he couldn't get it through the rocks, but was still holding on.
So I reached in and grabbed him and yanked him out of the tank. And it took more effort than I expected! Strong little sucker!
Here is the green thing he had. I had to re-bury it in the sand.

Also, earlier when the lights were still on, I got a pic of the small coral that is starting to open up a little.
Does anyone know what this is?

Thanks homer. I already pay for an image service, so I'd rather use that (if I can). I just have to figure out how to share images publicly and haven't had a chance to look into it (I know it's possible).
Why pay for anything? Photobucket is free, and has an app so its super simple to use from your mobile.
Sounds good. What temp were you running before? I shoot for 78, and in the winter 77ish. In mid summer the tanks get up to 81ish, but the corals don't seem to mind too much (and they're very sensitive to temp swings).
Hopefully the AL works the microbubbles out over time, we'll see. That's annoying though. Nano skimmers are never perfect, but hey, at least their production is decent these days. They used to make microbubbles while not making effective skimmate...
Please let us know how the AL is working out Tim - I'm eyeing a BC29 and I haven't heard decent reviews of any skimmer capable of fitting in there. Fingers crossed this one will work out for you.![]()

I hear you.I'm a big fan of Tunze, but I've never head anything great about the 9001.FWIW I've run both the Aquaticlife 115 and I'm currently running the Tunze 9001 (was given to me), and if I weren't so lazy, I would switch back to the AL115. The Tunze, while I love Tunze, just is a pain in the butt to dial in and get to stay dialed-in. It's definitely one of those skimmers where it's either skimming too dry or it's overflowing and you have to empty it daily. At least in my experience so far, about 3 months. The other 9 or so months of my tank being up, I used the AL115, and I never had to fuss with it.
I'm still working on the Tunze because I want it to work because Tunze as a brand is great, but man this thing is almost impossible to dial in for consistency. It's also frustrating that I'm having to adjust the airflow as a means of controlling the skimmate. I always prefer water level, but there is no fine water level control, only air control.
Subscribed. Looking at going back to a BC29, Great looking tank so far!
