Green/orange Ric splitting...Can or should I help it, like i said, i would like to place it BEFORE i leave for vacation(sat 7/21): The bottom right part of it has 2 mouths, its all curled up, but when you look at it close up, you see the other base almost seperated!!

I like those rics you got, the teal colored ones, very nice. Rics are becoming one of my favorites. I didn't like them when I first got into all of this, but now I look for all the different colored ones I can find.

Well, its Thursday, I bought 2 new pieces last night. one really nice metallic red Mushroom(single, he was at the bottom of the tank @ lfs) hes about 3-3 1/2"---$5 bucks! the other a small frag of Silver Tip-Pulsing Zenia(what I been waiting for) it has 3 or 4 very small stalks(each with 5-10 polyps)--$5 bucks!!!! Now I can watch it grow, havent had the lights on them yet, until today later when they come on...I will have pics for ya'll tomorrow of the new additions!!!

I ordered my sapphire skimmer today (bc29, not the recirc.), I should get it around tues/wed next week!!!! finally!! My tank is doing awesome without it, but now I will be able to increase the load a little!! bye for now!!!
