Watching TV tonight and glanced over at the tank during a commerical and noticed my purple tang stuck to my vortec! Never seen anything like that before.
I have my vortecs set about 60%, the tang is pretty large it was folded around the unit. Seemed to have enough surface area that the suction prevented it from getting off it. I ran and unplugged the vortec. The fish swam away. No physical signs of damage, fed with no issues. Weird. If I wasn't here I think that could have been fatal.

What no CS series?!? wait, what's the difference again?... :P
Maybe that's why they're on sale at Marine Depot... I still dont get why its that big of a price diffence just for cast vs extruded acrylic. Price difference on their end is a few bucks per tube.

Oh, the CS was "hot welded" instead of glued. So they keep the cheaper to make model. Go figure. Yea, marine depot doesnt even have the CS anymore. Man, I should have bought another one when I had the chance...
ER1231 CS-80 was $198, is no longer. That's really disapointing. Now the RS-80 is $249, now that's just kinda insulting. Cheaper model, more $.

Tank is really doing well. It ready for another full tank shot I think... once I get around to cleaning the front again.
I came across two images I took of new frags back in September that I never got around to posting. Both of these frags are pretty small but doing very well. ![]() ![]()

Now that summer is over, no I'm not having any heat issues. Warmest I've seen the tank is around 82.5, with lights out the tank has been at 79.
Cleaned the glass for the first time in a month or so last night. Tank is really looking nice. I think I'm due for another round of pictures.

This is my blue tip Acropora solitaryensis which bleached out over the summer. It was moved lower in the tank and has shown excellent signs of recovery. While still pale looking, the new growth is showing some nice colors:

This is a purple montipora plate that has finally reached enough mass to get a nice growth spurt.

This is a brain coral I got from IMAC in the fragging demo. It has fully healed and encrusted the surrounding rock.

The green bubble tip anemone I picked up over the summer split over the weekend. Pretty cool to watch. Didn't happen in a location that I could get pictures of.
Euro-reef contacted me about some issues I'm having with the skimmer. They are sending me a replacement o-ring which should make the skimmer collection cup easier to remove and replacement impellers with the new pin wheel design.

Man that's a great looking monti cap. My purple one is pretty much dark brown colored with just a hint of purple.
