Got it. Thanks, Jorge.

Jorge, I could use that dual outlet air pump. I will be at the next meeting.

Yes, I hope this is ok, for him and for me. The glue spot gave way in Robert's tank and the little sakura heads floated away and got mixed with some of the 8,000 other zoa frags in that system. Now we each have half of the original zoa frag and mine is on a different plug.

This is the thing that probably ultimately got my frag system in balance. It's an algae scrubber that I have in the sump. It keeps my NO3 and PO4 low, but not too low. I think that this is what has kept my tank in balance and prevented the Dinos from coming back. I think the UV unit also helps with this. http://www.santa-monica.cc/HOG1x-Hang-On-Glass-UAS-Upflow-Algae-Scrubber-with-Green-Grabber-surface-and-Xtra-LEDs--1-Cube-feeding-per-day--MAGNET-VERSION_p_38.html

Lack of polyp extension, after application, and then after a week I had some STN. It is possible that these two symptoms were the result of something else, however, such as the dino toxins that were present in the water, or the stress from the blackout time. If you are using UV and peroxide, turn off the UV for a few hours after you dose the peroxide. The UV could cause the peroxide to break down really quickly and reduce its effectiveness.

Removal of detritus, increased flow, manual removal of Dino strands daily so they do not build up anywhere (turkey baster or your hands), and a UV sterilizer. This worked for me. The blackout and peroxide seemed to stress my corals, and the dinos came back after the blackout. There are a number of different types of dinos, however, so what worked for the ones that I had, might not work for the ones that you have. The key is patience and persistence. They will eventually go away if you keep at it. Good luck!

68 is pretty cold for coral, but I have no idea if that would do it. Do you know how long the tank was that cold?

If the claims adjuster does a little zoology homework and discovers that corals are in fact living animals, I wonder if they would be covered. Lol. ????

I agree that Neptune could lose some market share if this thing really does all that it appears to be advertising and doesn't require entering code.

Right. Livestock is never eligible for coverage. After all, what insurance company would be willing to cover all of Tom's Walt Disney colonies?

Me too! WOW!

I think I recognize that Wellsophyllia. ???? Nice shot! Congrats.

I'm good at torturing 100s of college students in my biology courses. Whenever I can use reefing for teaching examples, I do. This past week, I was teaching osmoregulation, and I got to share about how I made my Wellsophyllia double in size after accidentally lowering my salinity after a water change. Lol!

Looking good, Cody! I'd like to trade for that sarmentosa sometime. The frags I got from you last month are doing great!

Acropora valida

Yes, Badxgillen is going to pick mine up for me. I will pay via PayPal tomorrow.

I love the African Cichlid tank!

My wife would remind me of how much the 3D printer cost. LOL

Can't wait to see this one fill up! Looks very nice.

What kind of lights are those under? The colors you got in your photos are very impressive.

Before you know it, you'll be setting up another frag tank. LOL.

How did you change the title of the thread? You're magic.

Very nice!

Villanova won, but that was a month ago.

Is that Aiptasia, Tom? ????
