I believe the ones that the LFS sells have a titanium probe end which is attached to a wire that you attach with a screw to a nearby grounded electrical outlet.
Aluminum may just oxidize over and become useless. I don't know.

Ah ha I found one from JL: http://www.jlaquatics.com/phpstore/s...oduct_ID=mc-gp

I will look around for one locally, if anyone from Etown knows where to get them...

One more question my cabbage coral has not shed his skin in a few weeks now... He has some brownish algea growing on his edges and I blew it off and I think I blew into his flesh... Should I try to frag the healthier sections or just toss him?

Never mind I went home last night and the cabbage was not doing well so I peeled it off the rock and did a 10% water change.

From all the stuff that has died or I moved its a pretty bare tank... I might need to move this into the FOWLR section

A good and bad news update:

The zoas that I pulled out are starting to open very slowly

But my frogspawn had some brown jelly on him today, I blew him off with the power head and moved him into another tank and I will hope for the best but am not optimistic.

New updates: Frogspawn and large umbrella toadstool dead (were moved to another tank), stray voltage probe installed and now zero voltage in the tank

The toadstools, rics, mushrooms, candy cane, and GSP are still going good but always were.

I am planning on regular water changes for the new 2 months and then I will try putting corals back into the tank....
