Now that the Gorg has made the rounds of Calgarian reefers, maybe it's time to send some out to the coast.

Was keep an eye on your tank, now I feel that I have to say: WOW.
Hope one day my sps will color-up and grow like that.
Just need more time to test water parameters, I guess.

So I just wrapped up one of my most frustrating reefing nights ever. So glad I took pictures yesterday!

1. I decide I'm going to siphon some of that nasty algae on the sand up so I hookup the big siphon hose with the 3" tube on the end. It's not strong enough apparently to suck the actual algae up. Tank is a massive mess of debris and sand now.

2. In yanking the tube out I finally break the main part of the superman digi off the rock. I am swearing a lot now and my wife isn't too impressed.

3. expoxy/glue the colony back in place

4. Continue siphoning with just the hose and forget to see how much water it in my bucket. Love it!

5. Digi falls off

6. re-attach digi with a very ugly amount of epoxy. Be months before it looks nice again.

7. Go into tank-attack mode and do all the moving of my acans.

8. Toss in a waterchange

9. after i cleaned my skimmer pump today it wouldn't restart until i quickly poked the needlewheel so i opted to leave it running in case while i did the waterchange. It decides to totally overflow and dump today's skim back into the tank because the water level was too high after the change. Guess I never took out quite as much as i put in.

10. Blenny has been missing for 2 days.

11. Turn lights off and forget about it! So frustrated right now
