...To make matters worse, the Hydra's very breath was lethal. Even smelling its footprints was enough to kill an ordinary mortal. Fortunately, Heracles was no ordinary mortal. He sought out the monster in its lair and brought it out into the open with flaming arrows. But now the fight went in the Hydra's favor.It twined its many heads around the hero and tried to trip him up. It called on an ally, a huge crab that also lived in the swamp. The crab bit Heracles in the heel and further impeded his attack. Heracles was on the verge of failure when he remembered his nephew, Iolaus, the son of his twin brother Iphicles......
Just wanted to add some more myths to the thread

Did anyone try catching that crab with a trap? Someone should market it.

 We will have to wait and see if its one of the myths that are to be dispelled. On another note, I got my Lumenbright reflectors today and they are pretty sweet! Much larger than I though, which is a good thing. They are also very deep (also good) so I see why you can keep them relatively high off the water and still get great PAR. Apparently they do not spill much light into the room. Its nice to finally have some quality reflectors! I will take some pics of them after I unwrap them tonight. I will be building a small hanging "rack" for them out of aluminum. I had planned to just hang them individually but I think for leveling purposes, having them on the same rack would be good. Just going to be a very simple rectangle to bolt them to. Not welded or anything...just screwed. Most likely it will be all painted black.

Prior to this I dosed the zeobak separately, 4 drops 3x weekly and the coral snow about 2-3x a week at about 2-3ml. I've dosed coral snow even before I started the zeovit regime as that and the coral vitalizer were what got me to switch from ultralith.

For me this is working, so I am going to keep up this way until all the cyano is gone and then use coral snow twice a week.

So I finished the framing and priming of the stand today. One thing I am still not sure of is whether to use foam or just plywood under the tank.
I have 1/2" to work with. The "skin" plywood for the sides and doors has to cover whatever I use underneath the tank and I figured 1/2" space should be fine. I can add another 1/2" if needed but I prefer not to. If I do use foam, what is the best to use? In the past I have used that thick pink foam but I really don't think that stuff is necessary. I would prefer something much thinner. I am leaning towards just using a sheet of plywood under the tank I think though. We'll see.
