Thanks everyone! I planned to buy a new kalk reactor, but I think I'm going to get one from Avast rather than the Aquamedic that BRS sells. I currently have a TLF kalk reactor which does the job, but its performance is on par with the price... it needs a vinegar bath every 2 months to keep it working, so it's time for an upgrade. I ended up going with some new powerheads for my frag setup instead. I have a pair of Tunze Nanostream 6045s coming in 2 days. No more Maxijets, Koralias, & Seios for me! I've never used a Tunze pump, so it'll be nice to give them a try!

Today is a sad day... with the little man to take care of, things like tank maintenance and sleep have taken a back seat in life. Today I came home to find my Pearlberry starting to STN. A favia was growing dangerously close and apparently decided use its sweepers to sting my colony last night. The tissue on the base is almost completely gone and a portion of the branches are in rough shape. I trimmed the affected portion off, but based of past experience, don't have the highest hopes for the colony surviving. I'll keep an eye on it throughout the day and if it seems to continue, I'll be cutting a couple frags in hopes to save a portion. :cry:
oh man! so sorry to hear. Pearlberry is one of my fav SPS. hope you can save a few frags to at least start out with.

By the end of the day you will be happy! I always feel great after getting back to a neglected tank, cleaning, arranging, and what not. Best of luck to you buddy!

Well I was able to acquire a new frag of Pearlberry to start over with, so in a year or so, I'll have my colony back...
On a more positive note, today is the day I rid myself of GSP, Anthelia, & xenia.... I dosed a couple fluke tabs this morning so in a few days I should be good to go! Keep your fingers crossed for me!

Thanks guys! After only a couple hours, the anthelia already looks pretty ticked off an isn't fully inflated. The PE on the GSP is still decent and the xenia appears unaffected thus far. To be honest, xenia never really grew that quick in my tank, so that's the least of my concerns. If I could knock out the anthelia & GSP, but keep the xenia.... I'd be a happy man!
