    Lol that's pretty funny actually! What type of coral is that?

    Looks like you might need to frag him or something?

    Thank everyone.

    @Ashevillian - it's a green monti cap. It started with a frag I got from my previous tank I sold years ago where it still growing in large spirals...not sure where it's trying to go this time.

    Another reefer asked me about my experience with the ASM skimmer I've been using for the last ~4 yrs, so I took a pic before my weekly cup cleaning today. I know there are lots of great, newer design skimmers on the market...but don't underestimate the performance of the old ASM, even today it's still not a bad skimmer for the price.

    My ASM G2 pull thick, dark skimmate weekly:

    Looking to move soon, if we can sell our house and buy a new home soon...but just to make sure I have my priorities straight, I already have the new tank ready for the upgrade...now we just need to find a house to wrap around the tank. I had a 125 w/ corner overflows sitting for a while but I just picked up a 180 w/ corner overflows because it was a great deal.

    Not sure it's one of the greatest, but thanks :)

    I'm faced with this decision again, last time I did this I ended up getting out of the hobby for about 5 years. Our home is on the market, got an offer but the buyer want us to leave the tank. It's already a crappy market where we're taking a beating on the house, not sure I want to leave the tank this time I move.

    Wow, what a decision to make. I don't know what I would do if I were you honestly. I know you wont make this decision lightly though.
