Jim,
I don't think a temp drop would bring on ick if the ick was not already in the tank. Ick has a specific life cycle. When they hatch and there are no fish to attach to, they die and there...

Corals in the ick tank will be just fine with regular water changes. Continue to feed the tank to maintain bacteria, and, yes, imo, feed slightly less.

Doug, will keep an eye out for that, as I have never noticed it. As Doug L. has said, I too have used 802s and smaller Hagen PHs for as long as I can remember and have not yet experienced problems.

Rob,
Would probably work for us, too, but we don't run skimmers, sumps or refugs on any of our three tanks. Plus, despite the coolness at times, we do like the fresh air throughout the condo.

Re: weird snails
If you can get a photo of the bugs, post it to the Dr. Ron forum at RC. He's great at IDing bugs.

Depends on what they have on sale, we may get some stuff from JL. The two of us could make up an order easily, if they have some stuff that we want. I've got some things in mind already.
