Well, the power only went out for a couple hours yesterday afternoon. They must have been finishing up their work or something. When I got home everything appeared to be normal......until about 8:30pm.

I decided to do a small water change with the remainder of my salt. A good idea since my anemone decided to spawn right in the middle of it. At least I think it was spawning. I know what spitting out zooanthalea looks like, but this stuff was white and milky. Man I wish I had taken pics, but there was no time! So there I am with my hand in the tank with my siphon hose, waiting for the next excretion to come out so I could suck it up. I didn't get it all but I think my efforts helped. I can't help wondering if the tank being calm for a day is what triggered the animal to spawn?

So after I thought the sebae was done I doubled up my carbon and skimming. Man what a smell. Going to get some more salt today and do a large water change tonight.
