    Today I:
    Took the left side of my sump apart in preparation for a water change, and to
    successfully capture my CB Angel and return him to my DT.

    This:

    I had to trasfer all the frags and wanted to keep themn in the water,
    Went to this:

    I then vacuunmed up about 52g of detritus and water from the sump and into the floor drain in my basement, while my WP40's continued to move my DT like nothing happened.
    I completed my 52g WC without incident,
    and after several weeks, returned my CB Angel to the DT too!

    The CB Angel, for sure!

    This time I have installed grates on the entire 72" of overflow. He'd have to jump it to get in there this time. Oh wait- did I just jinx it?

    I found my Vivid Rainbow Zoa today!!

    I got it in Sept. 2014. It had 2 heads.

    I have already glued it to a rock ledge twice- the last time it somehow knocked off, I couldn't find it for about 2 weeks.
    Thinking it was lost in my maize of rocks, I gave it another look, and low and behold, I thought I saw what might have been it. So I got this 2ft, 1/4 diameter alum. shaft I have and slowly worked it back to where I could grab it with my tongs.

    I'm so glad- I only have 4 Zoas, and really wanted this one to thrive and cover an area of the rock like my others do.

    The whole time the Desjardini Tang is harrassing my hand/arm.

    I glued it once again back to an area I think it will do well.

    Sorry- no picks until at least some of the heads open back up.
