I believe the ones that the LFS sells have a titanium probe end which is attached to a wire that you attach with a screw to a nearby grounded electrical outlet.
Aluminum may just oxidize over and become useless. I don't know.

Grounding probes are usually Titanium.

Ah ha I found one from JL: http://www.jlaquatics.com/phpstore/s...oduct_ID=mc-gp

I will look around for one locally, if anyone from Etown knows where to get them... :lol:

One more question my cabbage coral has not shed his skin in a few weeks now... He has some brownish algea growing on his edges and I blew it off and I think I blew into his flesh... Should I try to frag the healthier sections or just toss him?

Never mind I went home last night and the cabbage was not doing well so I peeled it off the rock and did a 10% water change. :sad::sad::sad:

From all the stuff that has died or I moved its a pretty bare tank... I might need to move this into the FOWLR section :cry:

A good and bad news update:

The zoas that I pulled out are starting to open :biggrin: very slowly

But my frogspawn had some brown jelly on him today, I blew him off with the power head and moved him into another tank and I will hope for the best but am not optimistic.

New updates: Frogspawn and large umbrella toadstool dead (were moved to another tank), stray voltage probe installed and now zero voltage in the tank :)

The toadstools, rics, mushrooms, candy cane, and GSP are still going good but always were.

I am planning on regular water changes for the new 2 months and then I will try putting corals back into the tank....
