How could you pass on that nacho crack in the kitchen? Mel needs to bottle the cheese dip...
Great swap, Randy and ETRC. I love hanging out with you guys and gals. The crack flavored cheese dip and the hamburgers were rockin. Nearly everything I got is doing great (had a freebie prostrata lose two of the three pieces, but the third piece is hanging in there-it'll return
). The monster sunset from fishdoc, the vol monti from volreefer, ramblieri, setosa (massive size), awi, RM from cee, NLA and blue slimer from Randy, the freebie and 24" cube tank from Brandon (hope you felt okay with that trade-if not let me know and I'll balance it out), Dang lot of Ding Dangs from Rev, a couple of mangroves from Weetabix, and probably a few other things. I had a nice haul. I think with all purchases and gas I broke even. I had a great time talking to all the old salts and putting names on some newer one. There are one or two cool kids over in Knoxvegas:d.
The stone hit me as I got out of the car at the gas station right up the street from the church (at the I40 access road/ramp). Pain management made the drive home a little more fun (got a bit hairy just outside Gadsden, Al just as a live Dead show transitioned from drums->jam->drums, but I pulled through it
). It gave me all week and through the swap, so I can't complain. Got it blasted today...

I've got a theory on dairy. I'm going to increase intake (increase calcium so that hopefully the oxylates bind with calcium in the food stream rather than the urine stream). I never added dairy back in with the food allergy diet, so I think that is a potential cause in the recent dramatic increase. Some yogurt and cereal every day should give me some benefits. 5 in five years in Nashville, but like 15 since June down here (and several ER visits and overnight stays). The doctor seemed to agree on the theory today, so maybe I'm on to something...

I'm really glad to see everyone chopping up these LPS corals.
That was one thing I was ALWAYS afraid to do...actually cutting the calcium skeleton of an LPS. Recently I've seen numerous frags (not just acans) that have had that calcium base sliced like an onion.

I've just fragged Acans so far, and I actually do cut straight through the polyps.
Not everyone does this, but it has never caused any problems for me.
I do a simple lugol's dip on the frags after cutting and mounting them, and they are all puffed up with feeder tentacles out within an hour or two of being put back in the tank.
Not one casualty yet.
One of the things I love about Acans is how easy they are to grow, frag, and propagate.
Melly~ It doesn't matter if you cut through the polyps on acans... Usually the partial polyps will heal to become full polyps with time...
Here is the best fragging tutorial for acans I have come across... Its what I send to everyone that has inquiries on how to frag acans...
