Welcome. Keep up the good work.
Yes... I agree... Those are good items.
I used to pick out my pods from my mp filters. Not anymore.. I give them a chance to get out and then they are GONE.. LOL
About the QT... Yeah before you put anything in your own tank QT it. Just because it is in their tank does not mean that it is in your tank.
Much rather be safe than sorry.
He has lost about 5 fish. So... he is recovering and putting everything in a HT/QT. He will be fine it will just take some time.

Thanks.
I took this pic of a chain of tunicates on a night dive (Honeymoon, Belize 2005). I used a cheapo P&S Cybershot in a $90 case.
Another guy on the boat got this one (Photo credit R. Varga).
I discovered the pods upon routine maintenance, in the sink. I left them there (as I was unsure to what they were).
Ordered stuff from BRS to make my QT &/or HT happen.
I, too, would rather be safe than sorry. (When I was a skydiving instructor, I would say: Better safe than 2-dimensional).
Yes, time. Nothing good happens quickly in reef-keeping. EVERYTHING happens quickly in skydiving ! ! !
Ready, Set, Go!
Thinking of a couple upgrades. LOL
Adding a second RO unit (with a pump in between) in line with the existing RO unit. In other words, put a RO unit on the waste line of the first (my understanding is that you don't need to run it through the pre filter a second time). Still looking into that . . . There is a thread on my local reef club: DVRC. Some are claiming 1:1 - RO:Waste.
I was also thinking about adding another Radion Pro or two on the main tank. If I rotate the lights 90 deg, I can get another 1 or 2 in there.
Thoughts? Overkill?
I am also toying with the idea of replacing the external overflows to accommodate a 3rd drain & convert to a bean animal (ie silent, as silent, I am not) Or drill the side of the existing overflow? Still need to bounce that one of my guy.

To keep the doors open?
Not sure, I'll shoot my cabinet guy an email asking for a manufacturer & part #.
I'll get close ups of the hardware tomorrow.

The last piece of the puzzle is complete! My friend who is in-laying the stained glass for the top panel detail is done. I just gotta pick them up in Jersey. I hope to have them picked up and installed this weekend!
My friend, who is doing the stained glass, has paintings of his hanging in the Smithsonian (Air & Space museum)! He is a famous aviation painter (oil on canvas).

Worm,
The company that instead the system brought cured live rock. There is all kinds (Tsonga,FL, Marshall Islands, Caribbean, Fiji, etc) in there, I don't know where the large, flat pieces came from. I will see Rich (from Armco Aquatics) on Monday, I'll try to remember to ask him.
When I post a pic or link to a video (from my phone-tapatalk), I can see it (on my phone). On my PC it has the [Img mumbojumbo /Img] instead of the image. Can I do something differently so the pics appear? So you guys don't have to race to link the pic.
Thanks.

Can't help with that. RC is the only forum I'm havin probs with on tapatalk. So I just quote, cut and paste.

Do you have any pipes in your overflow? I am considering the same external overflows, and I was told that they usually just leave them as drains. Since the company supplies lids for each overflow they said they have never had complaints of noise.
