^^
yep they have been on my arm for 6 days now. LOVE IT

On another note, mix your salt before you mix it with water. Was doing my waterchange on my BC and everything was good. changed the water this morning and everything was a bit stressed due to the change, and than left for class and I came home to this:



my Alkalinity jumped from 8 to 14 FML. Most the sps RTN'd and the hammer is looking rough. Just did another change, hope it helps.

Oh yes. I am actually suprised it survived. The acros and both monti's parished. I'm going to look at some LPS tomorrow (look not buy) and hopefully sunday add something new and maybe a few other types of birdsnests from the 60gal.

Its not the end of this tank yet, but I am still going to start buying all the equipment for an upgrade

So I am in a bit of a pickle. I am just in the process of upgrading and am debating if I should cycle a new tank with new rock or do the whole transfer. I am only going to a 25gal cube So its not to much of an upgrade. Reason; sump, skimmer, proper fuge.

Still keeping it metal halide but the zoa's wont follow into this new set up. Finally sticking to my words and this will strickly be a LPS/SPS cube. Zoa's have now become an issue in the 60gal and I am sick of them.

So time to build a new stand. New tank will be 20x20x14
