    I need to get some money first! lol... I just pulled the engine out of my car to repair it so the camera is on hold. Some of these pictures are really good though I think.

    I found pointing a powerhead at mine causes them to grow towards the powerhead, or source of flow.

    Oh yeah, I was gonna mention that orange monti! The Droid X takes decent pics. You're always working on your car/truck.

    I have done a simple mod to my scrubber I added 10.5" reflectors.

    They fit the screen better just about perfect size... I also noticed that this way they block more of the light from bouncing around in the sump.

    I was thinking about added two extra bulbs using a splitter. What do you think?

    I still have to add more flow to the system to get my 35 gpm number. Do you think that cutting the slot open some would help relieve some of the pressure that may be holding back the pump from being able to push more water through?

    DIY Magnetic Floating Algae/Veggie Feeder

    I was sick and tired of having to get my arm wet in order to fetch the algae clip out of my aquarium everyday so I took a tip from another reefer and expanded on it. I used one of old mag floats and super glued two veggie clips to it. This way my Yellow can have one and the Desjardini.

    It works great and now I can put the algae where ever I want and keep them guessing/chasing it.

    Now the Pictures/Video:
