    Talk you a good LFS about getting it in, that's what I did. Now they sell it with new Mandarins, and I don't have to pay for shipping. Win-win.

    Couple of quick videos. Newish to SPS, they're doing relatively well. Algae is almost completely gone. Needed new RO membrane, and had ~100 TDS in the Brute. :evil: Earmuff Wrasse was sleeping. Second video is Windex version.

    LoL! Windex version. I like it!

    Always love videos of your tank. Great mix of coral and colors. The tank is looking great.

    Is that a mycedium in the back between the dendro and frogspawn?

    Yep, Dendros doing very well. Not sure if you got a good look at the War & Peace coral since it's hidden behind the Duncan. Thanks, Cheryl.

    That, I believe is a Mycedium Robokaki. Got it as a rescue, it fell over in a friend's tank for a while and nearly melted.

    Yup, there's your problem. Glad to see you found this, although you probably weren't so glad at the time. :)

    No kidding. I had to back-track and double check everything. After the filters were changed in the RO unit, I rinsed the Brute container with RO and refilled it. It tested 78 TDS. :angry: For now I'm using a 10 gallon tank until I find a used 40 breeder. TDS in the ten gallon is zero. ;)
