Yes it was a nudi. I have never seen spiders like that though ...

The part that gets me is the way that the zoos are sort of disappearing and matte is still there.

My clams are fine. I sucked it out with a turkey baster and got a good look at it. It was definately a nudi. I had to remove the clam to get to the eggs too so I got a good look at them.

Will the stopper hitting the prop eventually cause the prop to come undone from the shaft? I have had a few but was not sure if I just needed more super glue or if this was common?

Glad I got my props last week. I had been putting it off for a long time. I like the medium flow prop better than the high flow. Just seems to work better in my situation.

My zoos are located under the MH/T5 fixture. The PC fixture is only covering the 2ft section on the right side. I keep my zoos on the sand bed so I would doubt they are...

I used a mak4 and a mak5 with nothing bad to say at all. They have great head height and not a ton of flow. This makes them good for a basement sump and a single overflow. I don't think I would...
