teevee, thanks for your opinion.

Yeah, looks like the snails in the newly set up 14 gal seahorse tank are laying eggs there too, but not in the 42 hex. Hmm... wonder why? Probably a completely different set of animals in the 42 that might be discouraging propagation.

There might be someone locally interested in selling a bit of live rock to me for the 7 gal and maybe a little bit more for the 14. I'm waiting for a call. Depending on size and shape, I may buy this cured rock and restart the 7 gal into a reef again.

Cheers!
