was thinking about it causing sps to die...

Good point. Would you think just hand washing, even though it doesn't get them as clean, is a better choice, or are you thinking stopping using filter socks all together.

Lets assume for a second that something got onto the filter socks and into the tank killing the SPS. Any thoughts on where else I would see an impact?

not really sure, just looking at all possible ways a pollutant could have got in the system. maybe detergent containing phosphates was used in the washer, but u had the GHA b4 the socks so i dont know.

I also noticed that the frags which RTNed were all from the same source.

maybe a bad source?
anything improving? more pics?

[michika]

Another RTN, from a different source, a m. digitata. I've had this one quite some time and it was just coloring up quite nicely.

I will try for some photos tomorrow, its pay day, and thus shopping day. I'm going to hunt around for some new rock. Any particular photo requests?

another rtn?
