This morning when I turned the lights on, the red slug/nudi thing was out and about so I got his picture! Or maybe it's a her. It left another pink ribbon spiral at the top of the tank this time. Here it is:

and here is my new toy I got yesterday!
Old Sump with poopy mccrappy 5 year old skimmer:
Beautiful New Sump with a skimmer that actually works!!!!
Also, I didn't bother with a picture, since it wouldn't show much, but there is a wierd line in my sand that moves. Whaddya think that would be? It's probably about 3" that I can see anyway. Not moving fast, just changing position ever so often, enough that I noticed it. It's like a spot in the sand where there's a little skinny ridge that sticks up a bit and changes position periodically.
SOOOO excited about my new skimmer! The one that came with the tank was old school. It was open at the bottom and most of the time the bubbles just kept coming out the bottom instead of making foam at the top and I was constantly having to move it around to try to find the perfect position to keep it working and it would move itself back so the pump suctioned itself to the wall of the sump and would quit working at all and if I got it right and it worked for a while, you could look at it wrong and it'd stop again. Very frustrating! So the new one is quite an improvement! May not be the best of the best, but if it works consistently, I'm happy. :grinyes:
Thanks!
