    Are PPE polyps hard to care for? They look sweet, at least yours does. :p Are they expensive? I couldn't even find on on live aquaria. :(

    How much was the white with blue sabae? Where can I get one? And are they hard to care for?

    They're easy to look after, but they grow real slow. $25 per polyp from Coral Morphologic - Live Corals.

    The white tissue was actually bleached out and now its turning tan again. Some say it's a difficult nem but mine is doing fine and readily taking snapper chunks. $15 at my LFS.

    Thanks, I treated my tank pretty aggressively with Kents M Tech to kill bryopsis and it faded those polyps back to light pink. Kinda a bummer, but still a small price for getting rid of bryopsis.

    Ok that got my attention - is that like a power strip with each receptacle on a different toggle?

    Could you elaborate on that a bit? where to get , how much etc?

    That would be very much appreciated!

    Yes every red lighted switch you see has a 3 prong outlet directly behind it. I know there are much nicer reef controllers out there, but I don't have any ATO's or automated dosers or anything else that may need to shut off/on so my gear runs 24/7. Built in 1800 watt breaker.

    now that is an awesome and affordable solution to 24/7 stuff! many thanks for sharing that...Kudos to Otty for the original idea.

    all i need are a couple of decks now! (jk)

    can you say....."tank rave"?

    +K for the idea. This goes on my list for the current 50g upgrade project.
