    I said guess what the diy project was...but nobody guessed. haha :cheesy:

    Thanks. I made them two different lengths so that the long one will let me get closer to the coral/object without stuff in the way.

    I thought I had a can of Krylon Fusion...I can't seem to find it. I'll check the garage tomorrow. Hopefully it is in there, and didn't freeze. lol.

    I will ask Dad if he can use a tap and die kit at work so I can put some thumb screws on the tubes.

    Ranton777 was nice enough to meet up with me on his way to Toledo. They are much brighter colors than they look in the pictures.

    So here are the corals acclimating. I didn't have airline tubing to drip acclimate so I used a turkey baster to replace a little bit of water at a time, over a period of about 3 hours.

    Is the monti cap spawning, or excreting waste?

    After a bit of struggle, I was able to get the mat of gsp glued to the rock.

    Looking good seano! The monti cap is just excreting slimy mucus in protest of being handled and moved around. No big deal.
