Is the pipe for your surge?

I do like that purple digi. It's so bright and seems to growth much thicker than many other digi... but I assume that's because of your high flow.

The big pipe is the emergency overflow from the surge. In case other mechanisms all fail, this kicks in to avoid a disaster.

Probably the most important piece of PVC in my setup.

How about some pics of the surge setup? I may have missed them somewhere else...

I have it in my build thread. Let me find it and link it in.

That's about where I get into the surge devices. I'm
About to upgrade it though... With better electronics too.

My experiment in shrimp husbandry is coming along nicely.

First - I introduced a lot of small males with my monster sized coral banded shrimp female

Second - She picked one of them and let him "hang around"

Third - She molted, and is now "with clutch"

She seems attentive and alert, but her lower back body seems to droop and she's hanging out over the sand a lot... Looking out at me. Almost like she needs help. Her eyes are clear and very active... Just her lower and tail fin seem to be malfunctioning?

I've seen her lying in the corner front of the tank, by the glass, on her side.

The melanarus is much bigger but really doesn't bother her. It looks fine - actively hunting. And the six line is also very active and healthy. Other fish and coral seem fine.

The only change I've seen is that she's gotten much fatter since I first got her. Could she have eaten too much and that caused some kind of illness?

karimwassef · Feb 27, 2016

This one's a little long with drama - my wrasse is still paralyzed. My coral banded shrimp clutch is getting darker with babies.

sorry to hear about your fish..

I wouldn't be an expert, but doesn't look great.

karimwassef · Feb 28, 2016

Apparently, this happens to wrasses - but noone understands the cause or cure.

geekengineer · Feb 28, 2016

hmm that's weird.
