  1. Thats nice to have found him in time. We just got my little Neon gobby out of the over flow box. He was in there for about 4 months before I found a way to get him. He looked just as good as when he went in there though.

  2. If the coral went through some hard times, I would think that the worms have moved into the dead spots to hide or to clean up stuff. If the coral is growing again then the worms will not bother it much.

    You can feed the coral if the bubbles are out of if it has the feeder tentacles out. Just shoot a small amount of food through a tube between the bubbles or close to the mouth.

     

    If a bubble comes lose from the skeleton just keep it in a place so it can't blow around.

    It can start a new frag if it is keep from moving around.

  3. Good luck finding some one. I buffed the front of my little frag tank out and it was only 12" by 36". Took one night and hope I never have to do that again.

     

    O and I just used good old car buffing compound and polish.

  4. I think you have too many holes that allow the water to drop down to far is what it sounds like. If this is the case you can try and plug the lower ones and see if you can get the water to remain higher up in the overflow. If that works I would start thinking of replacing the stand pipe with the correct type for a permanent fix.

     

    I cant remember what the names of the two types of stand pipes are called.

  5. The blotchy look is from the wood that has more or less end grain showing in the cut angle of the wood. This shows up a lot more in softer woods.

     

    You might try using a wood conditioner or sealer and then try to stain the doors again to match the frame, if thats color your after.

     

    One trick you might try is use a fine sponge and wipe or blotch the light spots and leave the stain there and lacker over it.

     

    Nice looking cover btw.

  6. Looking at the stand, is there any wood vertically going up to where the tank is sitting or wood turned and going across horizontally? I am worried that the solid wood will sag or brake away from the sides with the tank in the middle.

     

    Even 3/4" or 1" solid wood will sag from lots of weight over time.

     

    If you want them tubs I can bring them over and we can take a closer look and come up with something.
