  1. Now they're having a fight over the food.  One went back and picked up that string of food on the bottom and another grabbed it too.  They're attached together by their feeding tentacles.  I can see them pulling it back and forth like a dog with a bone.

    Alan! They look great! 

  2. Mine has been running for 3 weeks or so now (i haven't ordered the jellies yet), and I agree that there is nearly no evaporation.  I've gotten maybe an 1/8" of evaporation in that time.  It's very well sealed.  I think the clear plastic cover on top of the filtration portion must make a huge difference.

    It does indeed for sure. Even if you took it off you wouldn't see much evaporation anyway. But let me know when you are ready for Jellies! Free Sipping! And Shipping! 

  3. In other news, I added several scoops of SeaChem Matrix in the back for additional bio filtration, as well as a mini-bag of Purigen for additional filtration in addition to the little chemi-pure blue nano packet they include.

     

    To Jon's credit, I have had zero water lost to evaporation per his claim in the two weeks mine has been set up. I will definitely be able to handle what little evaporation does occur by mixing it slightly fresher in my water change accordingly. 

     

    Hacking of the base of my jelly tank has taken a back seat as I've been writing all new code for my Reef Angel and getting their RF module to properly control the Radion the way I want. 

    No evaporation ever. Unless you are roasting chestnuts on an open fire.  :cool:

  4. Jon, here's something you may enjoy since it's, in large part, about the meeting you spoke at. It's from one of our members', PupChow's, youtube channel.

     

     

     

    based on the comments it looks like he found it already :)

     

     

    Thank you, Jon!

    fantastic Video!!! Was great to see it and glad Mok-Yi won! Thank you all again for having me! It was a blast! 

  5. Those mushrooms are pretty cool. I'm not sure I've seen anything quite like them - like nearly-ricordea-but-not-quite. Where'd you pick them up?

    Hi MisterTang...I grew these in California and had them shipped over when I moved to Florida. They are a hybrid of St. Thomas and Bounce mushrooms when we were grafting experimentally about 5 years ago. This was our result and never came up with a clever name for them and this is the one remaining colony that I am aware of. Most of my mother colonies are at a shop in California called California Aquariums https://www.caliaquariums.com/

     

    I can see if they have some of my other varieties and be more than happy to share some specimens with you! 

  6. Hi Guys! Just wanted to extend a huge thank you again to everyone who came to the meeting last Saturday. It was a lot of fun and hope you guys learned a little bit more about Jellyfish! 

    I have a new Nano build I am working on. I am not a fan of the stock lights so I am taking the hood off and putting a Kessil on it to get some better pop of blues and what not. 

    Hope you enjoy following along. Definitely different than my old 80 gallon cube :)
