That's a good way to look at it Glenn
looking forward to getting them in the tank. The only cuc that made it through all this was one blue legged hermit and the tank is starting to show it. Its like everything is starting over, lots of brown diatom all over.JJ ~ I'm just catching up with your thread. So sorry about the losses.
Thanks Tammy, glad I have the controller now, looking forward to getting things back on the right path.

Thanks Glenn. I just can't believe I had been paying a dollar or more per snail at my LFS, never again thanks to reefcleaners.

Thanks Leigh for motivating me to update my thread 
Hello everyone, sorry :look: its been so long since I put any updates in here. Have not done much to the tank since the "Heat Wave 2011" (cooked tank) a few months ago so not much to update you on. Other then adding in a ton of snails thanks to ReefCleaners, which I might add that I love having all the Dwarf Ceriths although they are really good at getting into the pump including the MP10 and shutting them down, I got a new fish for the tank yesterday. We got what the LFS called a Multi-Sand Sifting Goby although looks more like a Sleeper Striped Goby according to LiveAquaria.com. Figured our Blue Tang, which was the only fish to survive the 100+ degree water temps when the heater got stuck on, was getting a bit lonely all by itself. It was quite sad to see how timid the tang got when all the other fish died, it's just now getting to the point where it won't hide during feeding time or when someone is close to the tank. No new corals yet since the tank crash, still have about 3 colonies of zoa's that survived. They don't seem to be spreading anymore although just glad they are still around. Been dealing with some odd new algea that I didn't see until after the crash, might of been due to all the GHA I had in the tank that got killed off with the heated water. Anyways, enough about the tank, bring on the vids! Just a few vids of the new Goby and the tank.

Thanks Leigh. Out off the coral I had, my favorite was the open brain. It was cool to watch it eat so will probably go with one of those first.
Thanks Glenn!

Thanks Tom!
JJ I'd love to see a time lapse vidoe of the open brain eating. Keep that in mind LOL
Will do Al
It will still be some time before I get any coral though. I want to get the bit of algea in there taken care of first plus starting over gives me chance to re-work the rockscape. I think I have to much in there as it is.
