    Flashing problem with Par38 LED bulb

    IDK if there's a solution for this or if it's just a signal that the bulb is near the end of its usefulness. When the bulb goes on in the morning it flashes intermittently for about five minutes; after that it's fine. I can't tell if the intensity of the light has dimmed over the years but...

    Reef tank at Edward Hospital (Naperville)

    This tank is in their south lobby. I saw it a while ago and it was in bad shape; lots of BA and HA and a lot of empty snail/crab shells too. It looks like they got it cleaned up but there's not a lot in it. Good sized tank with lots of potential though.

    What do you use to frag hard corals?

    A Gryphon or Inland would be nice but definitely not cheap. I've seen some reefers using small wet tile saws (around $55) but 1" thick is usually their limit. I also viewed a video of someone using a combination of Dremel then chisel and then razor blade.
