    What I do is half a cube of mysis and half a cube of spirulina hikari brine shrimp soaked in garlic with flakes of nori.:)

    I let all the air go through the tube and it makes the maximum amount of skimmate possible. I let it run through airline tubing into a 3 gallon bucket. I replace it with saltwater when it reaches the minimum water level line and then repeat.

    Check out my bid but I think it was a 3/16" bit. I just drilled the bottom. It can be up a slope, it won't work.

    I just found a piece of coral on my seek that looked like necrosis was beginning. I fragged it of and I now have a small 1/2" frag of bn :D I hope it can survive, if it does well I'm growing it into a colony. That would be really cool.

    Thanks! It seems like it will do well. I put it at a place near the colony so it will have the same flow and lighting.

    Well, the new frag is doing well. Im going to take a pic of it now and I think maybe in August I will take another pic to see how much it has grown. I was looking back at some pics from november and I saw some major growth on some things that I thought didnt grow whatsoever. Here's the monti in December!
