What the ........ Yea, that's great for the myopic one but what do you do when you invite your friends over to look at your tank?  Now you have to have special glasses for all the friends that come over. And one other thing...optical glass...that needs to be ground and cost mucho dollars...

Unfortunitely I have to work :(...unless it rains like crazy. Wish I could be there...sounds like there's going to be some nice frags.

My wife wears the pants......Does that make me the mother?

I think another possibility is light bleaching. Leaving the lights on when doing a water change could bleach out the coraline. Your comment in the OP of the bleaching being at the top to middle of the tank leads me to this conclusion. Check this link...

George welcome! And thanks for your service. You've stumbled upon a great website and fantastic group of people. Please feel free to ask questions.

Greg, you’re deviating slightly from “the book.” You must treat yourself while you are treating the zoos. This is called the “dip and sip” method of treatment. To elaborate, you dip a frag, you sip a little beer, you dip a frag, you sip a little beer. I think you get the gist of the dip and sip...

Home Depot and Lowe's actually do carry plastic stuff...in the hardware section in the big draws. I think they might actually be teflon nuts, bolts and other stuff. When we had the external overflow, one of the leveling screws broke and I replaced it with one purchase at one of the above stores.

From mommipods of course! ;D If you didn't add them then they came as a hitchhiker from live rock or corals that you added to your tank.

By they way, assuming they are amphipods and copepods, these critters are good critters. It’s amazing, if you have a few fish or fish that don’t eat them, it starts to look like an ant farm with all the running around. This is especially true if you check your tank at night with a flashlight.

A good number of light units have flat reflectors or reflectors with simple bends. The IceCap reflectors have multiple bends….for the sake of a word, and I don’t know if it is right, parabolic. So all that angling redirects the light back into your tank. Now as far as dissipating…anything that...

Don't forget Hide Reef.  If you go to Ocean Galley II, Red Sand is right around the corner (maybe 3 miles).

The above two quotes are confusing.  What are your ammonia, nitrite and nitrate numbers.  I've got a hunch, with this being a relatively new tank, you have ammonia or nitrite there, and that's not good.

If you have a VOM (Voltage-ohm meter), set it for AC volts and stick one probe in the water and ground the other probe. I usually just ground to the little screw on either a switch plate or outlet plate.

Wow! Very sorry to see this. All the fish die and the corals are all ok....is that a puzzle?? Did you measure for stray voltage?

I've added sand after the fact and I can't see how having a different color would make it any different. If you do add, my suggestion would be to use a pipe.  After seeing your tank, maybe 1 1/2 inch or 2 inch pipe that is as long as the tank is deep (and than some).  Pour the sand down the...

Women! You never finish the story...so after LYAO and having your cigarette, did you then take out the garbage? :o

In the central part of the state if looks like it’s let up a little today. I’m going to let it dry a few more hours and then pull the combine out of the barn and harvest my grass.

I don’t know….you take away the fish tank and it starts looking to much like an autopsy table.
