I have a skimmer again

Hi. I have a skimmer again.

Oh good grief.

 

[Helter Skilter]

Admit it. You missed me. Even if you didn't, at least you have somebody to talk to in here. This place is... ummm.... quiet these days. :sad2:

How have you been? It's been a while.

I haven't had a skimmer in a long time.

I still have a vitamin C reactor.

Congrats on skimmer ��

Yay for nutrient export!

What have you been up to? It's been a hot minute.

 

[aiko670]

Jobs, work, houses, kids, divorce, girlfriend

How about you? Hope you're all well!

Been through a couple career changes. The family's doing good. Everything is starting to fall into place. It's a nice change of pace.

I won an Orphek OR3 at Reefapalooza a couple weeks ago, so now I'm thinking about converting my 45g FW planted tank over to LPS. I think I still have my old Skilter laying around somewhere.

The 45 was reborn about 6 weeks ago. It's my attempt to keep all the cool LPS that never did well under 1200w of 10K XMs. It's a stupid simple set up with just an MP10 and a Reef Octopus Classic 90 HOB skimmer. I totally windexed the thing with an Orphek OR3 Blue+ and Blue Sky. I also have a Day+ on there but it's not a pleasant light, so the coral rave shall continue.

I woke up to some mass NSFW activity from my trochus snails on Saturday morning. They clouded up the tank something fierce. I'm a little surprised they'd spawn in such a new tank.

Welcome back to the hobby (obsession).

It's funny that you'd say that. I'm planning on resurrecting the 210 eventually. I've got another year or two of being an adult before I can finance that project. Should be a pretty easy install though. The wall is still there and I'm going to skip the surge tanks and massive fuge this time around.
