    David, I see more drilling in your future if it holds water. Crossing my fingers for you. A 125 would make a great size reef tank. Welcome to the addiction, I am a dedicated member of AA, aquariums anonymous.

    I'm already planning on drilling! I'm glad I had the practice on the 58 first.

    Both of us are getting very addicted to corals! We will have to get more dry rock for the 125 tho. The 30 pounds of pukani would have been enough for the 75 we originally planned, but not the 125

    Post in the "Want To Buy" forum. I have gotten rock from several people here for a lot less than what the LFS charges.

    Can someone help me identify this coral. The guy at the fish store said it was GSP, bu I could tell it wasn't; the polyps aren't anything like GSP. To be fair, when the polyps are closed, it does resemble GSP as far as being purple and encrusting. The polyps are tiny and feathery, tho.

    I'm not sure about them being clove polyps, though the polyps definitely resemble them. It gave me an idea though. This pic shows them next to a clove polyp frag for size comparison. I wish the cloves were open more, but they didn't like the high flow area that these polyps like. Please excuse the cyano, I'm working on ridding it.

    Depending when the GSP was fragged it may take a few weeks to recover. Depending on your nutrient load it will do well in your tank. Softies love pollution and make great filters.
