Okay,
before we get going, I'd again
like to thank the literally hundreds
of people who took the time to email
me either privately or through the
site via my guestbook. During these
last few months, I've had the
pleasure of corresponding with fellow
hobbyists from Israel, Russia, South
Africa, Singapore, and even as far
away as Berkeley, CA! Anyway, I would
like you to know that I genuinely appreciate
your letters and really try to answer
each and every one of them. A favor
though please: If you have a question
about my set up or your set up or about
anything you think I might be of some
help with, please contact me through
info@moyesreef.com rather than the
guestbook. I've just found it
a little easier if everything is put
in one place
[Excuse me: This is Michael's
wife and in regards to that last statement,
I'd just like to say: BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
Thank you.].
*sigh*
Well, as promised, we have quite a
bit of ground to cover this time so
without further interruption, let us
now get to it. |

| Let's
just say things are in a bit of
flux at this time. Actually, things
have been in flux since about the
time of my last update. You remember….
when things were stable. But truth
be known, things weren't
very stable back then. Not really.
Even before the honor of being
Reef Central's Tank of The
Month, I found myself spending
more and more time trying to fight
my way through increasingly difficult
bouts with Cyano, Majanoes, Mushrooms,
and Aiptasia. One of the causes
of the Cyano would come under the
heading of, "Problems I'd
Like To Have" in that some
of my corals had simply grown so
large, they were blocking the water
flow around themselves and thereby
creating the kind dead pockets
in which Cyano thrives. There were
also pockets along the very bottom
of the rockwork, which, in a 36" deep
tank is something akin to being
permanent. |
The
majanoes have also been a nagging
problem and, though not out of
control yet, they are giving nor
asking any quarter. My main weapon
against them is a thick, almost
toothpaste thick, dollop of kalk
that'll sit upon them for
days if they're in an area
of mild current. Nothing else seems
to work. Frustration increases
however, when the little…uhm,
fellows, wedge themselves into
the tightest crevices where they
can't be kalked. So far,
the greatest damage in this manner
is the necessitation of my having
to totally frag down my beautiful
Pocillopora  because |
