What kind of corals put off the strongest toxins? I have had some bad reactions to something in my tank. Whenever I have to spend alot of time in my tank aquascaping or fragging, or cleaning, I always get red itchy eyes and sometimes even respiratory issues for a day or so afterward. Im not sure which one(s) could be causing this? I dont have any SPS, but I have a ton of softies and LPS. Anyone experience anything similar? ------------- Life is good....right? |

No Paly's. Wait, do green button polyps count as Paly's? There are alot of those in there. I have afew smaller Zoa colonies. Maybe 100 heads or so total. ------------- Life is good....right? |
