How long have you had that tank running?
I'm always interested to see how low tech people can go and still have a healthy tank.

How did you do those frag racks? Is it just egg crate glued to mag floats?

DustinB, you are correct. I went to Petco and bought their $5 mag cleaner and glued the eggcrate with super glue gel. You have to keep an eye on those cleaners as they have a tendency to rust.

Corals are recovered and growing well now that the "red tide" has subsided.

Looks good James. Good to see things are on the mend. Was there any particular remedy which worked? Or was it just a wait it out deal?

RX: Thanks. I tried everything I could think of, lowered the temp, did massive water changes w/ siphoning of dinos, etc. The only thing that worked was waiting it out.

Lama: Thanks. I highly recommend the Alor rock - it's air freighted from Bali.

Cheers
