I've had a double whammy--- I believe there is some sort of chemical I can't test for causing issues as well as some kind of flatworm that seems to eat everything from acro's to monti's. I'll try and save what I can, get them out of the system and let things run their course and wait for them to starve to death and start over.

Henry, it is a few of them. I believe three where for the past year or more it was only one - a really big one.

Oldude - that's awful. I had a few big losses during the past few months with my tank being out of commission, and feel like I'm starting over with the big tank after all. Sounds like you are about to do the same.

Marc, they have beautiful color! I bet you are so ready for the new tank to have water; that will be awesome. ;-)

I'm toying with the idea of putting all the anemones in my frag tank (22" x 22" x 8") so I can enjoy them from above. Only problem is I have two pairs of clowns and I don't know if they will play nice. Each pair are breeding eggs when they desire so they may not like their local neighbors.

Marc, that would be awesome! Maybe you could just put one set in the frag tank and one set in the new monster tank. ;-)

Anymore FTS's REEF ADDICTS!!! Let's not hold out!

Hat, it is a Par 38 3wht 2blu from Ecoxotic. Yes the sps love the light and have been growing well. Though, I do not have any fish and I try and do 70% water changes every week. So that keeps the water clear.

Phil, it is a 2.5 and yea the pump looks kinda big in there. I got the mp10 so if I want to get a slightly larger tank I could take the equipment with me. and I love the kind of flow I can produce with it(even if it is at like 10% or something). Since the tank is at work, I have peace of mind with the battery backup.

Melev, that is a far different look for your tank!

Here's mine.

Lonnie, your tank is looking great! Are you enjoying your basement now? I bet you are! ;-)

Stevo, I'm going to check that site out.

LOL technically my FTS

More like a ETS if you ask me.

Henry, Thanks. Yes I'm starting to enjoy the basement. We just finished the tile work on the main part, still have the fish room to go. We figured the tile would be better due to the potential of water spillage from maintenance of the tank. I've got a little cyano going on but I figure its all part of the beginning cycle.

Jessy, I bet ya glad to put up a pic huh. It's been a while for ya. ;-)

Lonnie, yeah tile would be better. I have tile and it's easy to clean up after maintenance.

LOL Marc, you're right.
