Got it. Yes, a dead whale would be a good situation for a necropsy :)

Necrosis, not necropsy. Yes, it happened over about a day and a half.

I did this fairly recently with a huge toadstool. It's now doing great. The biggest problem was holding it in one spot while it attached to a new rock, which took a long time. Eventually I followed instructions I found online and glued toothpicks upright to a rock and then impaled the coral on...

My really big purple stylo colony started dying back to the skeleton. Don't know what caused it--parameters look great, and I haven't changed anything recently. I managed to make a lot of frags cut well above the RTN (it was a huge colony), and I managed to remove the rest form the tank. Took a...

Thanks. Done.

Time for condolences, I lost a frag. This post was automatically created by BARcode

I just set the number of frags to zero. Is there a better way? I don't see a control for deleting it.

I'm sorry that I didn't see this at the time. Regardless, I no longer have this one.

Sorry Max, but I no longer have this one.

Follow up: Threw out the main rock. They had spread to a larger rock, which I removed and is now soaking in bleach. Hopefully I can clean it and reuse it at some point. But for now, I actually like the effect of lowering the rock above it to give those corals more room to grow.

Oh wow—I had no idea they were that serious. Thank you all for letting me know. I’ll just trash them then. @Srt4eric I’m very sorry to hear that story. I do own a dog, and that sounds like a terrible nightmare of a situation.

I also love that! Have you had it papered long? Any problems with salt creep affecting the paper? (I'm clumsier than I should be during maintenance.)

Anybody want these guys? I think they are protopalys. I've had this rock forever, but at this point I'd like to remove them from my tank. Basically unkillable, but it does tend to spread aggressively (as you can see here). Green in white light, does not fluoresce. Warning: I've had a skin...

Thanks everybody! I love that white cabinet, and if the tank and cabinet were not near other furniture, I think that would look good. But as @richiev says, it's not right for that room. If anything, I'd love to get a woodgrain stand for the tank.

Thanks!

This is really part of my Reefer 250, but I felt this project needs it's own thread. I've gotten tired of always seeing all of my equipment and wires in the living room, so I decided to make a new equipment cabinet. I took a lot of ideas from builds I've seen here. Here's my "before" picture...

Kensington Reefer, just sent you a PM. For anybody else with the same question, I live in Oakland. Will give more details in direct conversation.

I'm pruining my tank, and need to get rid of stuff. I particularly need to prune out a lot of my purple stylophora. Also have green toadstools (various sizes), red mushrooms, and lots of GSP. Prefer to give them away than throw them out.

FYI I just tested my water and got: alk 10.3 dkH Ca 430 PO4 0.01 ppm pH 8.6 temp 78F

Unfortunately, I don't have a good way to separate them. They're both encrusting the same rock, and my experience with scraping back zoa colonies has not been good. I might try a long line of epoxy along the boundaray to create a DMZ. It will get overgrown again eventually, but could test the...
