I don't know what the overflow/surface skimmer is like on the nanocube vs the cadlights tanks, but I find that if I keep my tank full enough so that there isn't a lot of splashing as the water runs...

yeah, it makes it hard to get work done sometimes. Instead of taking smoke breaks like other employees do, we take "reef tank" breaks.

the tanks look very sleek. I'd like to get a larger one for home but they are just too expensive. I got this one a little cheaper because it did come with the overflow and pump, but no lights. ...

As you can see in the previous pictures of my tank, I had way too much rock and the yellow/orange sand from the OBX wasn't really looking that great. I decided to abandon ship and pull out some rock...

well, I don't think I'm ready for something like that. If a restart were an option then I'd just empty the tank and let it sit a while. I'm looking for something I can do that won't harm the corals...

Good idea, but if they are in your plumbing they will be back in a few months. We need something that will remove them from the plumbing as well, which leads me to believe our only option is chemical...

from what I've read it appears that they mate by releasing the sperm into the water and then catching it on their webs. If we could somehow prevent them from doing that then maybe smashing them...
