    I'm into Leather!

    Yea, it is a really cool coral. Unfortunately, I do not remember which vendor had it. If I could find the swap vendor threads, I'm sure I could locate it.

    Favorite Clean Up Crew Members ??

    Nassarius, dwarf ceriths and turbos. I like crabs but they've eaten my snails in the past.

    I'm into Leather!

    I've got a decent sized toadstool, probably 14" in diameter. Just picked up green nepthea frag at the swap. I'm a fan of leather.:eek:

    Help drilling my 150

    Find out if the glass is tempered. If it's not, by a cheap 10 gallon tank and practice on it until you feel comfortable drilling the big boy. Let the drill do the work. Do not apply any pressure. When you're close to popping through, pull back on the drill a bit. I keep a garden hose running...

    Tank may be crashing?

    The bubble coral is about a foot away from the duncan. The hammer is relatively small but only six inches from the favite. I think it would be a heck of a coincidence for them to start stinging each other out of the blue at the same time. Although it's a good guess and I'll keep an eye on that...

    Tank may be crashing?

    I run carbon 24/7. Yes I have a bunch of magnets in the tank. Mag float, Tunze ATO, and two MP10s. I checked for rust but didn't see anything. I imagine the poly filter would have showed some evidence? Refractometer is calibrated at least twice a month.

    Tank may be crashing?

    I posted this on RC as well, just looking for more opinions and ideas. My 75 gallon softy/LPS tank is about five years old. I tried to add some SPS a few months ago. For the first month or so they were doing well, encrusting around plugs/rock. Then they took a turn for the worse and slowly...

    So What Have You Done for Your Tank Today?

    five gallon water change, cleaned vortechs and skimmer cup/neck. Shot about 50 aiptasia with Zap-Tasia; never used it before, hopefully it works.

    Power Out?

    Thanks Mike. Power just got restored. Corals look a bit ticked off, all fish are accounted for. I think everything will be good.:grin:

    2 Bags of IO

    Any reason for mixing the two salts together? I'm switching to coralife which has parameters closer to where my tank runs.

    2 Bags of IO

    I'm switching salt mixes and I have two bags of regular Instant Ocean I am not going to use. $10 takes them both. Pickup only.
