It really is isn't accurate to called it an Interceptor Dip since we leave the meds running in the water for 12 hours. To me, a dip sounds like a few minutes.

I would try feeding this coral at night since it looks faded. Might as well give it food when it is wanting it, to give it a little extra help.

I think they use the green kind that you can buy at your LFS. I'd imagine you'd be able to score some at work, Mike.

I had an APC 1500 running my Mag 5 return pump on the 29g, and another APC 1500 running my Tunze Turbelle in the 55g.

Both worked very well to maintain flow through the tank around the clock,...

Right. And thinner wire gets hot over time, which is why we use thicker wire for higher amperage usage.

That is what I was worried about. You'll have to clean up that area very well, and then I would dry it out with a hairdryer before bonding acrylic to acrylic.
