corals need help

[DeepSeaBeauti]

I have a few corals in my tank that are suffering from all the mandated repairs going on in my house. Ive been doing reg water changes to try and combat the pollutants but I still have a few corals that are not happy.
Im looking to see if anyone local maybe interested to host at the very least a few pieces of these corals to nurse back to health and in exchange give me at least frags of them again when I am ready to reintroduce them to the tank.
Need to be knowledgeable in fragging these. I have a few purple stylos, a monti like coral with green eyes, not exactly sure what it is. Also a hammer with 4 heads.
My soft corals are all fine and even my red montis are still growing fine. But these other three are in trouble.

PM me if interested.

Are you sure it is the repairs of the house? What are the pollutants that you think are getting in the tank?

They were thriving up until recent work. I am completely removing over 100 years of lead based paint from 4000 sq ft of house using heat, and chemical to remove the paint. Then sanding all the wood. Although safe work practices are being followed its near impossible to keep it all from the tank.

Wow, be careful, that's no joke. How are you using heat? I think you need to keep it under 100 degrees or it releases lead vapor which is really bad. Are you wet sanding or using hepa filters on sanders?

Ive been fully trained in the safe removal and handling of the lead. I have several HEPA vacs. The vapor point of lead is just over 1000 deg F and we are not exceeding that. New tyvek suits daily and Ive gone through more n100 replacement filters on my respirator than I can count. Besides all that I have completely removed my family from the house and I am living in the RV in the driveway.

My finger missed the second "0"



Good on you man, sounds like a total pain in the butt lol.

Might be easier for the house to "accidentally burn down"

Hi Will,

You were kind enough to share some GSP with me a few weeks ago, I only have a 40 gal but the GSP and a couple of small frags is all I have right now. I'd be more than happy to hold something for you while you get your tank in order.
