It made a small slurping sound when I had the pump's flow choked back some to make sure the surface was being skimmmed. Since turning up the flow, it runs dead silent now but the surface isn't being skimmed clean.
Remember the tank has been running for a month, and I'm still trying to work out the kinks.

those electric blue hermits are crafty little guys. and they like to kill other animals if they take a fancy to their shell. I couldn't pass them up, but only have 5 in my display so they can't do to much damage. They run around tasting everything in the tank. I have even seen tem having "meetings". I sleep with one eye open!

Today I was able to see how the tank looked with the locline shorter. I might even remove one or two more segments as that seems to make a difference in how the water circulates. The sand is moving around a little, which also seems to clean it up some.
I still need to scoop the dirty stuff together and probably siphon it out. It moves around like ashes, very light but still holding together enough to probably remove most of it without losing sand.
It seems more evenly lit now.
And a few more tiny shots.

:lol: What do you mean by that? I built the tank last December, and didn't set it up until July. If anything, I'm too darn busy.
A couple of pictures from tonight before the lights cycled off.
Rock anemone (blue-ish tentacles) - My new favorite hermit.
And one more - the shell looks too heavy for this crab, but he drags it around somehow.

:lol: Meetings!!! That's funny...I can just picture them coming up with a plan to escape the tank and head to the fridge for some beer. I only owned 1 before and one day when he molted he never made it back to the shell. The LFS don't really stock them that much around here.
Hey Melev do you find some days the rbta has its "bubbles" and then some days it doesn't? I could never figure those anemones out.

It seems like it never has bubbles now. Then again, this wasn't a baby anemone (a recent split) and is large enough that people have asked me if it was about to split now. My answer is "I hope not."
I loved the bubbles when I first got it and wish it would look like that all the time.
