1: Does anyone know of any Norman stores which sell aquarium-friendly acrylic?
From what I've heard cast acrylic is the best way to go, but I have no earthly idea whether cast acrylic can be purchased at Lowes/Home Depot... hence my query to those more knowledgeable than I. I need an 18x24x1/4" sheet.
Basically this is going to create a very awkward custom refugium to attach to a 2gl hex. When finished it will make the external shape of the tank that of a flat-back hex (and increase the water volume by a good bit as well).
2: At the end of '05 or beginning of '06 I broke down my 5gl nano-reef just due to not devoting the time I SHOULD have to it's care. The entire thing was given to April. I have pretty much been unable to reach her since (I've heard she left the hobby) and am thusly curious as to the fate of those corals.
I've got a new nano going and very seriously miss some of the corals that were in it.
I'm not trying to get the entire colony back, but rather locate where they may have gone, and to see if I could arrange to get a -small- frag.
The main coral I'm looking to get a frag of was either a zoanthid or palythoa (leaning toward palythoa) and resembled this morph: Purple Fission
The other coral I am merely interested in the fate of. It was a large (7" or so. I thought it was a plain red shroom when I purchased it and it -exploaded-.) Elephant Ear rhodactis. I really loved that coral (I called it "the blob") and am just hoping it's done well over the last couple of years.
Any help would make me quite gleeful.
