    There are billions in that mass. I keep thinking.... maybe there's a way to save them all... but I can't think of anything yet. What's really weird... is that there are different bunches of algae on the sheet... .and completely different pods all live on the different algae.

    Amazing. Where in Jamaica are you?
    Does that RO get direct sunlight?

    Can you show some pics of how it's piped to the tank?

    Really makes no sense to talk about filtration if we can't talk about it's result. He's my box. Video is taken days after I cleaned the filter in the other video.

    Not the RO... everything under the ATS box which is just a sterilite container is covered by tarp. So no sun and very little rain gets in.

    The pipes are all there. I kinda explain it in the video I posted when I just put it up. This video is from about a year ago. The RO topup failed between then and now sometime about six months ago, dropping my salinity nothing. a couple corals died instantly and you can see a couple mushrooms bleached and a couple stonys bleached at the edge. Since then everything has been recovering steadily.

    Ahh that and the video explains it. Thank you sir.
    If I ever make it back to Negril, I'd jump on the bus to see that my friend. :)
