Normal AIR is 21% oxygen and after a NORMAL breath of air we exhale around 17% oxygen. So with that in mind even if we "blow" directly into the bag it shouldnt hurt a coral for a SHORT period of time although the air pump and tubing would be better... the "pure" oxygen should be the best idea...

Will try to get some Anemone pics up soon if possible I have been letting a nice Pink Tip Hatian settle this week.

I am NOT sure but have been told in the past that it just means that they are maturing I know I have a mated pair and BOTH thier backs got a bit dark after they paired up ...My juvies on the other hand still look "normal" once again I am NOT sure!!

In my exp ...seabes will move about twice their inflated size size every 4 or 5 days untill it is happy... (In a larger tank anyway) they can crawl up or down rock and float so keep your powerheads covered with filter material or somthing of that nature untill he has settled.

Here is a "night" shot with only the actinics on just before the Lunar lights come on and the actinics go off. Also a pic of my ReefKeeper Elte Controller (still not complete ) I will drill the mount board and have all the wiring come through just below or beside each module.

Actually only the one you see on the left is on the front The Reason it is there is that there was a "dead" flow area and had some build up in that particular rock and I am letting the powerhead "blow" it out (Yes I am doing PWC a bit more often till all is blown out) If you look you may be...
