[Delphinus]

I can't tell where it's coming from. But there is a steady drip-drip-drip coming from the bottom of the tank somewhere. My topup has been keeping the water level at the same spot, but my salinity is now 1.022 (it should be 1.025). So three points down on SG, still within a tolerable range, but it does confirm that saltwater is disappearing ...

Luckily it's not a fast drip, so the inhabitants or more or less safe for the moment, but, obviously, I have to get that tank out of there if I am to save the carpet. Actually the carpet is probably a lost cause, the tank has been there too long, a few too many spills along the way. The iron stand is one big piece of wet rust, and there are rust stains everywhere. This has clearly been going on for a while under my nose.

Thanks for the offer of help, and the spare stuff, guys. For the moment I think my task to clear a spot to land my ritteri into my 75. After that ... I don't know what my plan is, or should be. So you will likely be hearing from me as the weekend progresses. Hopefully once the ritteri is moved, everything else will somewhat fit into place. The pieces that I'm worried about fitting in there are the two larger acroporas, my bubble coral, and my ritteri. This is going to be VERY tough to keep everything happy, and far enough from each other and stuff like that.

I do have some large rubbermaids (thankfully!) A 50g square rubbermaid and of course the 30g garbage buckets.

If anyone besides Jonny wants some SPS frags out of my 75g... um ... now might be a good time to make an offer of trade or purchase. Call me at 254-0976.
