Hey! Don't let my wife hear that, as I am supposed to be bringing the kiddo along with me so she can have some quietness around the house

That is probably a good thing... limits the damages

Planning on coming. You gonna be taking credit cards with all of the good stuff coming in?

Actually, things are looking like I will be going to the meeting tomorrow. So I will take the clownfish off your hands if it is still available.

Nothing to be sad about. I didn't even know we could have private galleries

Future rock star reef addict right there.

Ah, I think I see the problem. The album is marked private. In the upper right-hand corner of the screen, click the drop down box with your user name and select "My Gallery". On that page click "Edit My Albums" on the left side. For your Discount Electronic album, click on the drop box and select "Edit". Click on the "Public Album" check box and then click on "Edit Album" button. This should make it viewable to the public. (It doesn't look like I can do it for you)

Link worked for me.

Fixed this for ya

We need some pictures of that beautiful showpiece coral also!

The 11-12 works for me in the oak hill area. Will PM you.

Sure, that would be great. Anyplace in particular you will be in that area?

I don't have a MG test kit, will order one (need to get a few other things anyways). And thanks reef_pug for the offer, but I might want to hang on to them for a while more. If I have some parasite/virus/whatever, don't want to spread it to your beautiful colonies.

Hmm.. I was wondering about that. I still have that frag skeleton in the tank, but I think I might take it out now.

I will have to check my general parameters tonight. Wouldn't this affect other LPS also? (just asking as a point of curiosity).

Make sure the air intake nozzle and air mixing nozzle at the powerheads are clean and clear. On mine, I had "gunk" build up after a few months on the inside where the air tube meets the powerhead, and that was reducing how much air was coming in. I hope that made sense.

Added lighting info. And yes, I did originally go overboard with powerheads . I was afraid of dead spots, and ended up creating a rip tide in the tank. I have pull back and now only have one Koralia in the tank (in the middle).

I have been quite busy lately, so my tank has not gotten a lot of attention other than feedings, dosing, and a biweekly water change. Everything is doing great in the tank ... everything but my Acans I have lost this one, and at first I just blamed it on random coral loss (it didn't look the hottest when it arrive via mail): And now this one is is not as inflated any more, and has become a more translucent red: And a frag from Mark is not fairing too well either The only one looking OK is: (BTW, the above pictures are all from about a month ago) They have always been on the sand, under 300W total MH light (2 150W lights). I don't think it is light shock, as the rest of my corals are doing great. In fact I have a favia that is going bonkers on expansion. But just to be safe, I moved the Acan's to a shadier spot. They had been eating fine when I first got them. Now, I think only the brown/green one is still eating. Am I missing something in keeping these? Or are these going to be a coral I just can't keep for some odd reason? (In I previous tank I could not keep xenia ... yet this tank it is growing fine).

Here is one from about a month ago of my 75: I am overdue for a new round of pictures. Lighting Info: 2 150W MH (Phoenix 14K)

And thank God it did rain for yours (and all of ours) sakes!!

Sounds like maybe an encrusting gorgonian? The thing I have found with GSP, if you leave just a little bit, it can grow back from that. It is a weed, that is why in my new tank I have it exiled to an island with an anemone on it.

(But I didn't pick yesterday )

It is threatening to rain down here in Buda. Temperatures are real nice outside. Now it just needs to happen!!

I don't think I can make it to the meeting this Saturday. And it is too late to have Mike pick it up. Just don't think the timing works out for me this time.

I would be interested, but I don't think I will be in the N. Austin area for a while.
