One of my maxi minis decided to take a walk awhile ago, very annoying. I see him every once in awhile always in a different spot. Wish he'd pick a spot in the open where I can see him and stay there!

Hope your RBTA settles down

Walkin nems is scary in a tank full of coral!

The alkalinity is down to 11 dKH this morning, so it precipitated nicely for me. Just have a white tank now. I guess I'm cleaning pumps this weekend...it could be worse!

They don't all grow fast. I have some that grow painfully slow. I have two frags that I've had for 2 years that haven't grown any significant amount. Besides that, the less I mess with things the faster they grow. The KISS theory goes a long way.
