[Delphinus]

Well, tank looks like it ought to recover. Things were looking a little stressed yesterday but better today. Tang is still scratched up of course, but it's all superficial. I'm pretty sure what happened was he wedged himself in between rocks covered with those @^%$^%$!!! vermetid snails. Man, I have got to find a way to rid my rock of that nuisance.

With a little luck tomorrow (well technically "later today") the baby can come home from the hospital and that will cut down on me spending a lot of time at the hospital. Although I have to say that I think the staff at the Rockyview are an AMAZING bunch of people that literally restore my faith in humankind (not to try to sound too corny or anything ... but they really are just a very pleasant bunch of people).

Did manage to find some time to fish what was left of my diadema out of the cube tank today. Still a little bummed about that, I wonder what went wrong there. My green urchin is in the same tank and is still going strong... plenty of food in this tank.

Anyhow thanks for the offers of help .. Think for now what I'll do is redo the sump return outlets so they are higher up. That way I don't have to worry about siphon holes clogging, and just call it a day on that one.
