    This is the order. The overflow drains into a filter sock on the left side. The protein skimmer is also in that first chamber. The into the refug which will have either mud or live sand (never used mud before) and chaeto. It will have about 650 gph running through it with running a rio 12hf. I...

I added a picture to show you my idea on where and what i am doing. first baffle is 10" tall. Then the baffles to the refug are 5 inches from the bottom then...

    Yeah. I am just super lucky to have 2 very good coral frag stores in my area. I can for sure say if I went with what my local lfs has for coral choice, I would have some ugly corals.

    Okay so here is a picture of one the corals I bought. I finally got my purple rim monti cap. It was awesome until I bumped it when vacuuming the crap out of my tank and chipped off a piece (still awesome but kinda pissed for not being a tad more careful) Also I think one of my hermits hit my...

    No I am not sure. They very well could be. So should I (from now on) just use a dropper and squirt some of the food I am feeding at the dusters? When I feed the food floats by them and through the feathers, but I will spot feed from now on.

    When feeding the tank I just turn off the return and dump food on each side of the tank. I will start spot feeding the one that still has its crown. I never see the fish messing with them. I do know that the hermits will climb on them and pick at the shell but thats it. We lost one a couple...

    No i understood. Kinda gave me some hope with this. Cause I have had some that say it will NOT grow back if they toss the plume

    hmm. I feed my tank a lot but I don't spot feed so it could be a lack of food. I have heard the same, but never have I heard it from someone who had them grow back. So I guess I will have some hope. I made sure all my levels were fine so I guess I can just ride it out and see.

    Ok so i picked up a neon goby today. So i guess we'll see what happens. Hopefully it will work out and this problem will get nipped in the bud. I also adjusted my tank temps so now there isn't so much of a flux.

    HollywoodDiver's 60G reef diary

    hmmmm. I might give that a try. Another thing I noticed was my temperature flux my DT went through. I adjusted that so now we will see what will happen. My powder blue couldn't be pulled out (couldn't catch him), so we started dosing the DT with ich attack. Yesterday my PBT was covered in white...
