Well, the tank has cycled, and tonight I put my GSP in his new home. Lots of time acclimating him to higher salinity in a bucket, which did seem to stress him, by his dark color. In the tank, he's immediately brightened up, is exploring and seems fine. He still has not discovered the feather-dusters I have on the live rock, but sadly, he probably will soon. I hope he doesn't. I like them

Had a bummer happen with the lighting, so I'm looking for a cap for a T-12. The bulb apparently arched, when one of the prongs in the bulb bent. Burned the entire cap, and without one bulb, the entire fixture is out Not having much luck finding this part easily. Store I'll go to tomorrow, says they can order it. Will see when I bring them the part tomorrow. I hope it's replaceable, so I don't have to re-do the entire fixture and put money into it.

You are needing a new T12 bulb? Ace Lowes or Home Depot should have the bulb you need for 10-15 bucks.

Glad your GSP is doing ok. I doubt he will bother the feather dusters. Mine seem to avoid them.

So glad to hear he may leave them alone! As of early this morning, he hasn't touched them. I need more than a bulb, I need an end cap and have to hope I didn't fry the entire light system or ballast.

Thanks
