Coral ID and help I managed to get a tag along coral that was growing for the past several weeks, but has since taken a turn for the worse I think. First, I'm not sure what it is. Here is a picture, though not very good. It used to have lots of short tentacles around the edges, but for the...

Before I start getting pipes and what not, I need to know all the handy safeguards to keep my floor from getting flooded with water. My wife hates that. My biggest question isn't about the power going off since I plan on having a big enough bucket to hold the backflow, but what happens if I...
