I can't begin to explain how much this made me smile. Almost as much as the "Naughty Shroom"...
I love the single polyp in the shell! And great pictures, I think Tracy has been holding out on us...

Tracy has a ton of great photos but she doesn't get around to posting them. Here are a couple of shots of our new Koralia Pico Evo-Mag power head. It is quite small and has the ability to adjust the water flow from 0 - 180 GPH.
The red cap on the bottom of the power head is the flow control valve. This little power head has increased the flow in a small area. Exactly what we needed.

We have been addressing water quality in both of our tanks through regular scheduled water changes. THE 37 still presents a problem of adding a skimmer due to no room, but THE 23 has the keyhole under the desk that can hold a small sump. So the planning has begun to find a ready made or make our own. We're thinking that its purpose is going to be to house a skimmer and a bio-pellet reactor only so we might just go with a glass aquarium and install a set of baffles on one end for the sole purpose of separating the return pump from any micro bubbles. Any thoughts on the number and placement of baffles? We have an HOB fuge and we are satisfied with that. We are running a Fluval 205 canister for carbon, purigen and polishing. Can anyone think of anything else that we might need the sump for? We have a bit of room under there and we are hoping to add an additional 8 gallons of actual water to the system, the remainder of the space in the sump will be to handle any emergency overflow that might occur from power outages or such. (Sure wish we had a plan for THE 37!!)
Dave & Tracy - this was for RSM tanks, but you may find some good information, links and videos that may help with your considerations about a sump for your 23:

Good luck with it!

Dave,
We'll talk about sumps over lunch Saturday. I'm custom making mine for the cube. Ordered the glass yesterday - came to around $35. You'll need 3 baffles to set up a good area for any bubbles to break/collect so they don't go back to the DT. I'll be sure to bring paper & crayons!

The daylights went off, the actinics went off and then we fed. A few of the critters grabbing a little chow before shut eye time.
This Vermetid has a big piece of mysis. Not sure how its going to eat it!
The paly has a good grip on whatever it is eating.
Even the "Donuts" have caught some tasty little tidbits!
Poor little torch is waiting with its mouth ready, but nothing so far!
These guys eat all the time. Here are a few feather dusters that have decided being on the Duncan "Donuts" Trunk is the place to be!

Hey Quentin! Once you have had a Super Mighty; not only will you begin to drool uncontrollably upon the mere mention of Mighty Taco, but you will begin to plan the logistics of racing back to Buffalo NY just to get one! But take it easy my friend, Mighty Taco is now delivering all over the USA!! Glampka can give you more detail on that than I can. I'm just waiting for the day that they start to deliver to Canada. Along with mail order reef stuff, I'll never need to leave home again!

Hey, I told ya, we're totally up for showing you the area if you ever make it up here! I would just wait for warmer weather, personally...
Okay, I've never had the stuff, and I'm hungry after seeing the pics on there... But I'm stuck in class...

Hhmmmm???? Wonder what I'll be bringing home today? Nothing live anyway!! Tracy and I have always done the salt water stores together, but today I'm going solo. Meeting glampka for a Mighty Taco and finding out what he's doing with his sump build. Hoping to learn a few things to incorporate in our upcoming sump build. Stay tuned for a possible purchase; maybe a 150 phosban reactor for the future sump.
