I have to replace my VHO ballast on my 120 tomorrow. Every morning it pops the GFI when it tries to turn on. After 9:00am, I can turn it on manually...but not before! It's about 1 hour after the MH's come on. I still can't figure that one out. I thought it was the end caps, changed them out yesterday....no deal. Now I'm going to change this ballast (advance) with one I know works well (icecap 660), hopefully saving me time down the road.

I have a digitata that's not doing good and I don't know why since every other SPS in the tank is doing great.

I have several fish that are thriving and I apparently have Cardinalfish poison in my system. Have lost two, with water params fine the whole time. Both just slowed down their eating until they stopped, no matter what I fed.

Pars fine, Algae starting to disapear, I am however down to 9 damsels out of 11, I have to send the dominoe to trial, but the evidense is overwhelming, I have a killer damsel on my hands. That's where the white stuff came from, I caught attacking another damsel. He is doing them like a dolphin does a shark, ramming and pecking at their gills. When I get back from Mexico, I'm getting my rodi, light setup, and will get the damsels out!

Good luck catching those buggers. I have had to rip my rock work out to catch them before. If you have time, fish trap.

I just set up my new tank several weeks ago using mature live rock, established live sand out of a well maintained aqaurium and a couple gallons of the water as well. Everything went so smooth it was unbelievable. I waited on a cycle which did not come after a week. Before placing anything in it I used ammonium chloride to test the bacteria and it started a very quick cycle..about 3-4 days and then everything was fine. just an FYI.
