Some of these may not be totally related to the topic at hand (some focus on morphology, hybridization, etc.)

Well, I'm renovating the tank tonight. I will be taking out all the rock piece by piece to remove the grape caulerpa. I just can't stand looking at it anymore. I will let you know if anything happens with the so called CYN because I don't usually run carbon at all. Maybe I should pick some up for the the tiny ( ) job tonight.

Ah well, I think of it this way: Now I get to play with the rock arrangment and get those two damsels out! I aquascaped my tank in sand storm didnt really see what I was doin anyways..
