    you might have me convinced to switch to the kent salt. I currently use Reef Crystals and every time I do a water change I get a nasty algae outbreak for a week. Been thinking about seachem salt or regular IO.

    My Big 3 stay higher than ever after switching to Kent.

    Yesterday, I went with my Jaebo DC12000 return pump on my existing system.
    Increase my sumps flow by about 50%! this thing is SILENT!
    When I fired it up, I thought it wasn't working, then my return to my sump started flowing! It was on!
    My DT and inhabitants are liking this!

    After my third wrasse jumped into my overflows, I finally decided to make covers for them. So I bought a 12"x12" sheet of 1/8" thick black acrylic and cut them to fit. Took about an hour total using my chop saw and cost $7.90. Holes are for air tubing for my durso's. Here are crappy cell pics for your viewing pleasure:

    Both finished:

    And one installed:

    Now I just don't know if I still need to prevent them from jumping on top of them and possible getting stuck in between. I was thinking of making a lip that went up to the mesh tops.

    Today I installed my overflow, started up my mag 3, turned the light on to my diy algae scrubber (thanks santamonica) and ordered 4 shiney new ATI bulbs. I just added 6 gallons of volume to my system and once I can find a 1 inch Y and a ballvalve my fuge will be up too, its starting to come around.

    I added a tiny chevron tang today. I'll post pics later after he gets comfortable.

    installed the new CADLights PLS-100 in my sump, nice little skimmer with power. Hopefully the longevity test passes.
