The "bleeding" has appeared to stop. The damn thing has fallen from it's recent placement so "I'm goin' back in" to move it.

I agree I should have left it alone to "acclimate" before splitting. I
should know better !

ops: I'm so paranoid about "cross contamination" between tanks though so I thought I'd do it from the start. With both tanks just undergoing the "stocking process" I consider both of them a "parasitic time-bomb" right now...

ops: (Bad experiences in the past...?

)
I am running carbon, (passive), and skimming. Up high prior to the fall so lots of light. Moderate cross current the best thing ? There is/was no risk of tissue damage resulting from exposure to air, as with sponges...?
