Syn's 850g.t.v Deep Brain system

Did a major clean out of the macro/mangrove tank. Trimmed the mangrove down a bunch and cleaned out a 3g bucket worth of caulerpa. The mangrove had gotten to where I almost couldnt see the light anymore, it was all wrapped around it and covered about 90%. Looks much better now. Thinking though that I might want to consider mounting some light up in the rafters so I can give it a bit more room to grow as the light above it now is as high as I can make it. Of course would eventually have the same issue again with it growing up into and around the lights. Will have to think about it


Also finally finished printing my Dosing stand. Just need to get some ridged tubing and finally put this to work and stop manually dosing stuff.

So added in some socks Let me just say though, that I absolutely despise filter socks, but these things are a game changer. If you haven't seen these, they are new product for Rocky Mountain Fish Filter Company. https://rocky-mountain-fish-filter-company.myshopify.com/products/complete-set
Reusable and easy to clean. Just pull them out, unscrew the bottom on them to loosen the rings and then rinse them out. Take about a month or so to break in, but these should help a lot with capturing a lot of that floating detritus and mulm.

Newest addition to the tank. Been looking for a healthy one for years and finally found one.

Ya, I have wanted one for ages. Got it from a fellow hobbyist who is taking a break from the hobby, and had him for more then a year. He is eating well and not shy at all. So far he has been eating flake, pellet and frozen. So kind of a unicorn imo

Cleaned the new "socks" this weekend and took a few pic of the gunk they collected over the week which shows their effectiveness pretty well I think.
Around the outside of each was a lot of the bigger particulates as you can tell. And between each ring their was a fair amount of finer particulates. Overall very pleased with these so far.
