I installed a valve in the skimmer cup, then drain it into a bucket before removel and cleaning.

Well, if I didn't procrastinate and I emptied it when it wasn't overflowing I wouldn't have spilled! Lesson learned!

My luck with the Skunk Tilefish is 0 for 2! I won't try another one. Even with the cover the little bugger found a way out. Hope that the other two new tilefish stay put...they don't seem as jumpy but that could be wishful thinking on my part.

Aw... sorry to hear about your bad day .....When I said to dip your brain I didnt mean dip it garlic extreme and and NLS pellets!..... that sucks about the flame Girly...now you know why it wasnt looking too good......do I need to babysit your brain too?

Ha ha! Now I know what you really think of me....... you know I'm smarter than that... I did dip it (not in garlic!) and the "melting" has ceased but it certainly isn't looking too hot. "Angelina" was paying "alot" of attention to it for the 2 days after dipping...I am hoping she was just desliming.... since she seems to be leaving it alone today.... I can be optimistic...can't I?

Today is better...but of all the epoxy work I did...only one remains stuck...and I'm sure it's just cuz a snail hasn't wandered by yet.

I changed one of the bulbs in the T5 to a Geissmann Actinic+ (thanks Josh) just to see if I could get some better color (a little less blue maybe that brings out the colors more)...I will have to take a couple pics mabe tonight to see if it made any difference.
