Nope the fancy coral has not made it into the cube yet. A few people who bought frags off of me had some issues and I offered to get them new frags once the colony has healed up. Probably won't be for a while till I get my own into the cube, but I have some new plans.

Well my LPS craze is starting to die off. I plan to sell off some of my ultra acans so I can focus on my true passion, sps. Picked up an ATO off another member and all I need to do now is pick up a pump and tank, this should fix my issue with the salinity change which has effected the sps in the tank now to the point where one is browning out and another has what seems to be burn marks on it (this is the convexa). So back to the diagnostic board.

I also added in a bag of chemi-pure elite to the mix. More issues. After one week of running this stuff I now have brown film algae growing all over my sand and on the glass to the point that its driving me nuts. two thumbs down for you chemi-pure.

But here is the big news. After years of debating I have decided to take the dive. As some of you know I debated about running biopellets for the past few weeks but have now come to a horriable conclusion of what to do in my tank, zeovit. I have always wanted to try it and after seeing lobsterboys results in person and lerking the zeovit forums I think its time. Once the tank is a bit more stable with the addition of the ATO I will be adding a reactor and jumping on the "I have to leave the bar early to shake my zeolite stones" club.

oh and to make this thread interesting, a sweet old pic my dad took in aussie land
