Also, I've heard that Two Little Fishies ReVive will melt them right off the coral when dipped in their solution. I've not tested that yet, but I just bought a bottle last weekend. A few pages back, you'll see a coral of mine that was infested with not only AEFW, but a ton of eggs in its core. I saved a piece of the coral that looked fine, and will be placing that back in my reef soon.

To drop Phosphates more quickly, Phosbuster Pro works great. It had a history of killing Yellow Tangs originally, but that is supposedly resolved. If you don't have one, it doesn't matter.

I use a MiniJet with my Phosban reactor. I dial it all the way down but the small size of the pump is an advantage in my cramped sump.

This morning when I got back from work, the air was pretty humid with rain in the forecast. I bumped the a/c down to 74 to cut down on the indoor humidity. Within a couple of hours the house was up to 80. Turns out the fan broke on the a/c outside, so I'm out an extra $450.
Every month it's something.

Well, I changed tactics in mid-call. I feel a little badly for the guy, but I'd rather not spend money when I don't absolutely have to. The service call was $69.
I'm a member of American Home Shield and pay them $41 a month. Supposedly this is covered. Unfortunately I have to have a different a/c company come out for another $55, but they are associated with AHS and according to them, it'll be covered. I'd rather pay $120 than $450. I'll have to wait this out for another half day or so, but the weather is somewhat mild at 82F. With the windows open it feels okay to get by. EDIT: I didn't explain why I felt badly for the guy. He was going the extra mile to get me the matching fan motor today, and working it so the shop would get it in the next couple of hours. He was willing to pick it up and head back over this evening to do it. It was a bunch of shuffling to make this happen, but I felt as long as I could get the other situation sorted out before he left, I still had a small window of opportunity.

That is a nice one Jarrod. Sweet colors. I think you meant 250W halides, which would tell me that maybe mine got too much light.
Mine bit the dust last night, along with several large colonies. My tank looks like a volcano spewed ash into it. I did the emergency fragging today and have about 40+ in the QT.

I have it on just for the SPS now, and soon it won't be on at all. My thought process was "I have a 70w set up, and it has to be better than the 21w compact fluorescent on there now. Plus I could make a cool black acrylic fixture to hide it. "

Even my little angled tank was comfortable since it was tied into the main sump.

Marc, I can relate. I just spent most of the evening trying bleed all the air out of my heating system. Ended up vapor locking my main circ pump. Guess I'll test my water tomorrow...
But I did find time to order a phosban reactor, media, a minijet 606 and even a Tunze Nano Skimmer. Reactor is for my 50 gal at work, skimmer is for the 20 gal. I love on-line ordering, just like christmas Phil |

The a/c was repaired today. The other company came out for $55, replaced the part and filed a claim with American Home Shield.
And I have a feeling if this had been done months ago, my electric bill would have been lower. Something I noticed this summer is how long my a/c was running vs. in the past. Since I've added more insulation in the attic and replaced a couple of large windows with better double-insulated ones, I would have expected to see some returns on the power consumption bill. Filters are changed pretty regularly, and the system is fully charged with freon. With the new fan, it seems to cycle on and off more quickly like it used to. I'm happy - but mad at the same time, since that means I've been overpaying for months because no-one noticed the fan wasn't working as it should. Finally, the outdoor part of my central a/c is made by Trane, and is a 10 SEER, made in 1997. The inside section is also Trane, but is only about 3 or so years old. It is supposed to be 12 or 13 SEER. However, the tech today told me that no matter what the one half is, the other half will determine the true SEER rating. Thus, my system is badly outdated. He gave me a quote for a 4 ton 21 SEER heat pump by Carrier. It has a 10 year warranty, and pulls around 7 or 8 amps vs. my current system that pulls about 21 amps. It seems like a no-brainer to switch it out to save on the electricity consumption, but at a cost upfront of $7600. The perk would be less power usage year 'round, which he felt would make up for itself in about 3 years' time. And they would even run a duct to the garage which would cool and heat that area where I work. Ugh.
