  1. What Doug is saying is about the best way.

     

    As a carpenter I cut boxes like that. Use the correct blade and set just at the hight for the thickness. Cut the top off as close to the brace top as you can then cut the 4" and glue the top back down.

     

    I would talk with someone that has cut Plexiglas before you do it. I just do wood.

  2. Don't most Tangs kinda hang together anyways? My Yellow, naso and hippo all kinda hang together.

     

    I think Mostly because one thinks the other has found some food and he is missing out.

     

    I only have a 125 so there isn't to much room for them to get away from each other as well.

  3. Them pics I am sure are not doing justice for them chalice's. I know of a few of them in there that have tons of color and look to be getting huge.

     

    I am sure its hard to not see all them colored sticks though.

  4. Yea this is happing with my bucket of salt now. Doesn't seem to have any ill affect on any thing. Have done a few 20% changes with it and my water is right on.

    I kinda thought it was because I started mixing it in cold cold water.

  5. Started with a little one and now have lost control. They are starting to appear in other spots of the tank so they have to go.

    The whole 3x3 rock of purple with blue spots. Will pick a number late Sunday night.

  6. This kinda sounds like brown jelly disease stuff. I had a nice size Acan with about 30 or 40 mouths, start with one mouth gone over night. I then worked its way down in a line to the edge and then started to work its way around. After I tried to stop it with a Iodine dip with no success, I tried to frag it by cutting the bad side off. It then start again as I don't think I cut it all off and after another fragging try I ended up losing the whole thing.

     

    I say Brown jelly as after the flesh died it looked looked like brown jelly or slime. But from what you have described is the same thing that happened to my Acan.

  7. Seems to me if your tank isn't to large, it would be easy to just slowly change your water out with a good salt mix. Start with about 10 or 20% every 4 days till you get where you want. This way your have the water balance that it should have without you getting other things out a wack.

  8. I too had this same thing about 6 months ago and was trying to blame it on my huge leathers. Then I was it was TDS build up in my water as I had my RO filters messed up. Then I thought it was my Ca. reactor dumping to much CO2 and dropping my PH, but I could never catch it down past 7.9.

     

    After losing most sps's and Monti caps, I did mass water changes and started back over and never really found the problem.

     

    Some times I really hate this hobby after going through that stuff.
