    A torch can become damaged if it hosts a clown. They aren't made to host fish. That's the special thing about nems.

    update

    I went to the lfs today and bought some stuff.. purigen and one pound of base rock. i also made a deal with the owner. im selling 2 frags of my bland acro and 1 head of ricordea for a HUGE frag of seriatopora. it might be my favorite coral ever. i cant wait to see it under actinics. he also gave me a few tips on cyano. he said that when im dosing for alkalinity, to use a pipette and squirt the cyano with the alkaline solution. i did and ill check it out tomorrow. the purigen is going in my sump at the bubble trap and hopefully that will help to, plus it lasts forever! all i need to do is bleach it in a few months and it will be like new again!

    i made a durso standpipe, but i did it differently than some people do, its working well and the overflow is silent. i bought some red slime remover also. its completely reef sage and ive done everything i can to get rid of the cyano, i just need the boost to get rid of the algae. ill still be doing all the regular maintenance. im getting the seriatopora today, cant wait to get it.
