[Jason McK]

BTW I called Wendell at OA and he is almost certain that your Silicon is Reef Safe

He sells it on occasion

Its the same stuff we got from Bow Valley for our 180g. AI used to sell it when I worked there too.

The batwing reflector is up and running, I'm taking photos before and after of the process, then I'll put my MH on for their 5.5 hour run tonight. I'll post some photos later today. I'll also try to see if I can't get some photos of the SPS.

Tank seems about the same today, its not as bright that is for sure, but none of the SPS have lost any further color between yesterday morning and this afternoon. I still have at least another 6 days to go to see if this works.

Hope it works out for you

Well this final SPS experiment has failed. I was away last night when I cam back this afternoon everything looks horrible. I do not expect anything to last until Wednesday.

digi: some polyp extension, all flesh below has come off
acro: flesh is gone, its a white skeleton with a few pieces of skin
cap: white and dead
stag; some flesh, doesn't appeared to have changed in two days.

Next step is ORP & Ozone. After that this tank will be shut down when my 180g goes online in a month or so.

Anything new?

SPS all died, and this tank is coming down as soon as my next system is ready for livestock. I officially mark this tank as a failure, albeit, a pretty one.

Leave it in place, will make a good qt or hospital tank though.

Unfortunately it has to move, it can't stay where it is. The tank has also has developed a leak... I would love to keep it around for QT, its a nice size, but I had other plans for it.
