We haven't tried it yet, but gotta start somewhere..... I'll start reading up and getting the stuff - and, of course we'll focus on the stuff you want ;-) I just got the Ca Reactor restarted tonight and redid all the wiring around the tank for the AC3Pro - made some acrylic cups to hang on the side, etc this weekend - good weekend for getting everything in shape... now gotta make sure the Ca Reactor is dialed in over the next several days - then I'll know everything's good....

Same here - if we can frag anything for you, I now have a coral cutting kit, so we can happily try that. Shipping could be tricky, but it'd be interesting to see if we can figure that out and send some stuff around.... I've been meaning to get individual shots of every coral to make it easy to catalog...

There used to be a scolymia before the water got bad and it died - the lfs is supposed to replace it, and a hammer that also died, but so far, they're being a real pain.... We do have a nice red and green brain, but I don't think I have a pic of it.

Thanks for the comments on our stuff. Just took some time to go through your pix - the red mushroom and th ebrain are beautiful. And Pum would happily trade some zoa frags. You've got some really nice stuff in your tank!

Not enough fish though ;-)
