    I THINK Shin stole them... but I cant be sure. I have a fish messing with me but I can't catch any of them doing it. One was unfortunately my favorite colony of zoas.

    I cut some pieces to build new screen tops for my other 125g, and went to the LFS to chat with the owner for a while.

    Ok so second plan for re settting up the cal reactor went , well not so hot. The thought of using the Tom aqua lifter as fed pump did not work out, so I will find a two sided barb with threaded tee to feed the reactor oh the fun of reeling. :p ;D

    Painted my 55 gal tanks black background, and cleaned some of the water stains off.

    I did another 10g WC today, and slightly raised my SG in the process. Currently at 1.026- by my refractometer. It was too high- I was only using a hydrometer before, then it dropped to 1.024, slowly getting it back up- the SG that is.
    I also cleaned my sump some, some hair algae that looked like an ATS.

    Still have not found that new frag!

    Replaced my koralia 750 and 1050 with 2 mp10w's on my 57g. It feels like its a bigger tank without so much space being taken up inside by pumps..... I feel like I need more coral now

    I did another 'unscheduled WC' of 20g today!

    If you really want to know, it's in another thread.

    All is well

    what other thread?

    I did a 20% water change, cleaned my filter socks added in new phosguard and carbon and reaquascaped. Glued some frags now that diverdan (I think was who told me) gave the tip for doing it right.

    I've yet to glue IN the DT. I always take out the rock of plug, and frag and hold it for awhile, 30sec. +, then return to the DT. Gluing IN the DT is still a skill I don't have. It's on the list.


    OFK- this thread: http://www.3reef.com/forums/general-reef-topics/oh-potential-disaster-147810.html

    YOur frag gluing as an example- I've learned just about everything I know about reefing from the good people on this forum.
    I started this thread hoping others may learn from others via reading tips and expoeriences from this thread.

    oh my Todd. I did find your thread after I posted the question......so glad it happened where it happened and went to a drain rather than all over a floor somewhere! Now, you basically have water changes covered for a while :)
