So I think I have figured out a way to make my system better! (i.e. more complicated) Now that I have everything up and running I am finding permanent homes for all of my equipment and have a little space open that I don't have anything for! As a result, I think I would like to put a frag tank in that is plumbed into my system. As it would sit I have easy access to my main return pump to draw off of for water intake. My question is regarding the best way to plumb the drain line back into my sump. ...

Well, after trying everything less than a thermonuclear device I still have Maidens Hair in my tank. I've reduced the lighting, manually removed it, and reduced my feeding.

Is it normal for the maturing of dry rock? OK, see if y'all can name these corals!!! 1. ...

I bought some frags yesterday and I have a few questions: 1) the frags thatare on them pegs that you push into the sand-if I want to mount them on a rock, how would I remove that little "tit" that you push in the sand? 2) I have that 2-part putty, it really doesn't hold to good I think. What do y'all think? Should I just use super glue gel, are use both? 3) I have a frag no on the frag peg, do I just mount it on a rock? Any advice? ...
