Naa I'm only about 2 hours from the border. Depending on where in Ontario, might only be another 5 or so.

I’ve never been outside Ontario .

Aren't they supposed to turn into monsters when you get close? You know, like clownfish do.

This is funny because it's true.

Mermaids don't poop!

Purple stylophora.

Sure it's cool looking when it's a nice mature colony, but it's tough to cut, sucks up a ton of ALK and CAL, and shades everything thats near it.

I cannot cut it with bone cutters anymore. I do have a small wire saw for fine finish work that I use, but it's a huge PITA. I seriously wish I could find an underwater band saw, I would rid my tank of this thing!

Couldn't you use a dremel with an extended arm?

 

[homer1475]

I think I might be worried about the lubrication oils they use in those extensions?

BRS has a rather LARGE pair of bone cutters I might buy and give a try.

The white spotted Pygmy’s I had were huge personalities.

Also this thread took a weird turn…

I’m not surprised at all !

[Sleeping Giant]

I will never add fake coral, did once and it just turned into an algae collector .

Seriously? It was a joke. Get over it...

I also refrained in my initial post...the punchline was originally going to be: It burned for a week!
