    Thanks,

    I just took out a huge piece of rock today, that was covered with encrusting gorgonean. It had already covered/killed almost of all of my Tella Porites sps colony.

    My huge blue tiped Green Acro was also based off this rock.
    I broke the huge Green acro off in a few areas, and placed a new non encrusted rock in it's place from my sump, and replaced the green acro, etc.

    I really didn't take any pictures of this, but I took one when it was put back and all those
    long streamer elements were out.

    It was great seeing your DT and talking Reef.

    Thanks for the Zoas
    It looks like some kind of plating Monti also on that rock, and the dusters, etc.

    Yesterday, our local/regional club had our first 'Tank Tour' ; mostly from the idea I had brought up on the forum, after having traveled to Dallas and seeing 'AV8bluewater' s set up and a Tank Tour the Dallas club was having.

    It went great and was a lot of fun and got to see 4 peoples systems- all clean and pristine all with nice Reefs.

    I also secured a wp60 for my DT, and put my failing wp 40(which now only seems to work on HI only) in my 40B frag tank.

    So my DT now has 1 wp60- currently on 'else' mode, and
    a first wp40 I owned, still working like a champ- now on W1 mode.

    I also traded some frags yesterday at the Tank Tour event.
    ONe of the hosts had asked for a piece of my Bali Green Slimer, the piece was so big witrh multiple arms a piece had broken off in the cooler it was it, so I traded them and received some type of acro, and a nice big piece of a Birds of Paradise.

    OUr first Tank Tour was a success and looks like we're going to try it with different hosts in 2 months from now, and probably continue.
    My local club has also been going thru some 'growing pains' so to speak-
    Internal club political things have gone on, moves that weren't in the bylaws took place-
    leadership is changing, etc. Kind of a weird time for us, but I think the club will
    'Reef On'.

    Too bad that large neon orange plating Monti on the right is nearly gone, and the Blue MIlli on the left is all but a small frag too. Other stuff doing well
