    Thanks so much for the reply incognito! Thats a great link you gave me there. I've been looking and looking for species pictures to try and ID the wasp, that website is perfect.

    Thanks for all the info too lol I will definitely be extra careful now. I can't believe you've never been stung after 25 years! wow. He's a cool little guy though, I can't believe how much he eats. I've been feeding him with my tongs, which is pretty cool. How is it you can tell its a male?

    Hahahah well I appreciate it. It's still not where I want it to be, but its getting there. I hear you though.. I have a bad habit of getting online and buying corals in my spare time haha. I hope your enjoying your 40, they're great little tanks.

    Right now I have a Red Sea Prizm.. I'm not even sure if you can buy the kind I have anymore lol. I got all my equipment from this dude on craigslist when I bought the tank. Its a POS though, and I actually have a new skimmer coming in the mail. I ordered a Reef Octopus HOB, I'll be sure to take a few pics when I set it up.

    For sure. I read nothing but good reviews about it, so I'm anticipating it to do the job. Anything will be better than what I have no, the siphon will randomly stop an shut off. Its annoying.
