Anyone recall my concern that if I siphoned out too much sand, all my rock work would collapse??
sigh........

Not too much, but I'm off today, having coffee waiting for the lights to come on, and then its WTF?? Where are those corals? Oh right, the rock they're on is gone. If you saw the pic I posted the other day, the entire left tower collapsed. Can't say I didn't expect it though...

On a good note, I have lots of digitata frags now :)

Guess I'm getting wet this morning...

Everyone avoided getting squashed, got lots of green purple dig frags, and found 2 wild acro colonies growing on the back side of a rock. And a blue mushroom. Off to the LFS to find a larger rock for the back centre.
Happy Friday!! :)

Unfortunately it wasn't luck, it was laziness. I knew this was gonna happen, and was praying to the reef gods it wouldn't. I am lucky it happened now with frags instead of mature colonies.

What prompted you to siphon out the sand Brad?

If you've got some green digi frags, I have cash in hand - let me know.

And this is what happens when we listen to our wives in the first place ;)

Well, the sand looked dirty, and when I removed a little, the water was black. I removed most of it and my skimmer stopped pulling 2 cups of tar every day. I now know where all this gunk came from. This is with 2 tangs, 2 small clowns and a wrasse.

If you want some digi, no problem. I'll take a trade credit for down the road :)

No, I had herding lessons for the little guy today. Maybe tomorrow.
