thanks mountaindew and it does,I sit there for hours sometimes. The more you look the more I seem to find new things showing up here and there. 2.5 years of the gh,man time flies. Ive got some crazy coraline platelets growing on the vats. It seems that the summer sun burns it out a little,but in the fall/winter months the coraline goes crazy. Im sure its due to the different intensity of the sun
I found a very small white montipora eating nudibranch on green cap today. He almost went unseen but I happened too notice it. This is a cap that has been in quarantine for 6 weeks and was doing fine untill yesterday. I noticed tissue loss yesterday and by today most of the colony was dead. This thing was small!!! and did some real damage.I dug it off the cap with a dentist tool and witnessed it come to life in a clear plastic cup. This thing is only an 1/8" big and looks like any nudibranch with extended polyp type fingers and was moving all around in the cup. I tried pics but they were blurry.

H20ENG: your idea about HRVs sounds me useful for me too because i have a similar problem with moisture in my prop garage, so I’m gonna try to find this equipment where i live. Abut covering tanks to slow evap and prevent evaporation as you suggest i think that this solution will not allow gas exchanges (CO2 versus O2) to take place. This is only my opinion.
Redox: about your Montipora Nudibranch problem I'm concerned about you. I suggest you to remove Montis from the tank, as soon as possible, because Nudis reproduce fast. Make a chemical treatment (dipping) with levamisole. Check the way to do it. I suggest you to add one Halichoeres Melanurus, this fish will help you to control Nudis in the future.

thank you Machado I will look for a Hovens wrasse not sure of their availability but I will look. The only problem I have with this fish is the fact that I have no sand bottom and no way too keep it from jumping out. Any suggestions about how to make a good home for this fish in my situation?
Redox,
Glad this was still in QT!
Machado,
I think if you run a skimmer and sump, that there is still enough gas exchange. If it was just a tub with no other aeration, then I would not recommend it.
I also think HRVs are a great addition, though pricey. For some, they are the only way to prevent mold and rot, and therefore worth every penny!
