Wow Lance! The tank is looking fantastic. Love that pipe organ! I keep mine fairly small as it stings anything it comes in contact with.

Really? I always thought Pipe Organ's were peaceful. I've never had an issue with it being aggressive.

Pretty heavy corraline growth you got happening there. You didnt let Marie touch your water did you? or is it just a condition from living too close to her?

Actually, I've always had pretty good coralline growth. I liked it at first, but have gone over to Marie's thinking: I hate it now. Fine on the rockwork but a PITA keeping it off the glass and having to soak the PH's in vinegar all the time.

Mine has taken out half a lobophyllia and a couple of SPS "bases" as well as a patch of zoos which stay closed up if touched by the pipe organ. Luckily the SPS keep growing on the top halves but the bases are deader than a doornail.

It is some kind of sponge. It grows like crazy, but only there and no where else. Every couple of weeks it gets too big and I pull a bunch off. I've tried to transfer it to the sump but it doesn't seem to want to catch on there.
