Let me start off with a random happening first of all. When I was cleaning the filter socks a few weeks ago, I dumped the bleach-water solution out on the deck. Well, it appears that a squirrel was under the deck since his entire body is now white while his tail is bushy brown still. Crazy, but true.



At MACNA, I got my very first plastic jug. All these years I've used the water cooler bottles, so this was a nice freebie from the kind people at Blue Life USA. Everyone got a coupon in their goody bag, and I had to claim mine. A club member threw it in his car and drove it all the way back to Texas for me.



Last weekend I redipped a coral that appeared to have AEFW-bite marks. I've dipped it before, but nothing came off of it. This time I dipped it in Fauna Marin's Ultra Pest Control and a big AEFW came off instantly. After a 15 minute bath, no others appeared so I believe the coral is safe once more. It just needs to heal.






Here are two of the three SPS that died while I was at MACNA Des Moines. As you can see, they had grown into colony size pieces. The One Shot product is in the picture for a sense of scale.



Two other corals that have been growing down on the sandbed were moved to fill the void.
