If you are referiref to Jack O' Lantern Lepterosis, it doesn't get real fluffy at all. I have had mine for a number of years now. Grows well, just not "poofy"

I don't think it puffs up either. Acans puff up, I think this is more like a war coral (just not as aggressive)

I know exactly what they are talking about when they say puffy on the Jack Lepto. I have also had a piece in my tank for about 6 weeks and it looks OK, but at the lfs it looked more inflated and fleshy...

Here is mine :

Flooded the garage....... Again.... At least it was RO this time..

And... Did water changes on all 3 tanks, cleaned the skimmers, all the usual stuff you do before leaving the tank for a few days..

Also added some hermit crabs to the Mangrove tank plus acclimated another molly for that tank as well....

Cleaned the skimmer, vortech foam guards and all 4 sides of the glass. Then poured the wine. Actually that was last night not today. I’m not drinking yet this morning

No rebuild kit? It's probably some worn o-rings

I had them ship me a rebuild kit about a month ago. Installed it, and everything went smooth. It wasn't leaking around the seal casing but it was leaking from out around the shaft. I contacted them and they sent out the replacement on their dime and I have to return the old one within 30 days ... once I'm happy with the new one.
Absolutely satisfied with how they handled the situation.

I think the main bearings were gone and I was getting a bit of wobble in the shaft.

My hippo is the worst. He spots my gold spot rabbit pooping and he literally starts following him around eating the poop as it comes out;Dead

So it was a warranty replacement, can't complain about that!
