I didn't want to think it was related to the diffusers as I also liked the increased spread, plus taking the glare out of the light. But everything started looking bad after I put them on. Then you had a unrelated similar issue. I will have to look for the newer DLI findings. Were they produced by ETM? I hope to get some PAR readings this weekend w/o the diffusers. I plan on running that way for a bit. Since you did a great job with your other PAR value report, I'd be interested to see what you get now, all things being equal. With that said, I would be willing to loan you my SQ-520. It doesn't have a meter, it connects to your MAC (or PC ) via USB. You download Apogee's free data recording software. Thanks for the processing link. I'll take a look later. I need to brush up on my skills. LR keeps locking up my Mac Pro. I can use it on my 27" iMac, but it's a dog! That tumbling vid is crazy! Mesmerizing! On another note... LR SVS3-24 on order.

Congrats on the skimmer. Mine's humming along. I'll pencil you in for sometime in 2022. You should be ready by then.

Set the time machine for post 538 I think it was......
How did you mount the interface and run the USB cable for the touch screen? Is the touch module inside your stand, or did you run the PAB cable outside the stand to the touch module remotely, and then. Run the USB to the touch screen? |

In my previous build, i inset the display into the wall so it was flush mounted and just ran some simple trim around it to hide the rough edge of sheetrock. I didn't want to bother with that this time especially with the display mounted around the corner from my tank rather than right next to it on the same wall.

Lucky. Your close enough to have just the USB cable to run it sounds like. I’m about to move my electronics cabinet into the closet on the other side of the wall that my tank is on. I want the extra cabinet beside my tank stand gone from sight. My run is just a touch long for the USB so I’m going to have to run a PAB cable out of the cabinet and mount the module to the wall. In the end not a big deal. But the OCD of what I was hoping to accomplish in an area 95% of people will never see. Has got my left eye twitching. Vinny has told me not to make the USB cable any longer. |

I think it was an Apple keyboard extension cable I had laying around.

Thanks Dennis. I've been using RC and am thinking of switching to something else after all of these years.

Ends up it was a big chiton. A dead one.
Ok, who's the wiseguy who took a chiton on my sand bed! EDIT: Correction.... I'm seeing Limpet but calling it a Chiton for some reason. It was a Limpet. But that's not funny! lol

Isn’t there a large flat worm in the planira(spelling?) species?

Your tank keeps looking nicer and nicer! When you ordered the package from TBS, did you get all the hermit crabs and snails that they normally include? Thanks.

Dennis, do you have any issues with finding gorilla crabs and pistol shrimp? I poured seltzer water over holes from my latest build and still had a few (and two that are quite large). Just curious if you had dealt with eliminating the crabs, I can live with the snapping. Beautiful tank as well!
