found most of the people over there are nice, do the majority of my posting over there, however I hear the lounge is definatly a different beast, I haven't been in there.
For those not attending the meeting on Saturday the 12th I'd just like to point out that the philly santacon is happening that day. www.santacon.info click on philly or new york (both same day). My 2 friends and I started the Philly one and this is the 5th year of it, last year we had roughly 60...

you'll probably have to feed those peppermint shrimp and possibly that bumble bee snail (I don't believe they eat algae but not 100% certain on that) otherwise the peppermints might munch on those ricordia or just die.

I'm looking at lights from this guy

Appears they're going out of business, some good prices on bulbs like ATI, Geissman, etc, the sump & skimmer prices look good to. Just a heads up as the listed quantities are low.
