got a bunch of new corals.
largely acroporas - its a bit early but params are stable, and the deal was just too good - most frags were only $10.
FTS:
my plate is dying. i dont know what happened, but it looks beyond saving. im just gonna leave it alone - maybe i get lucky and it forms...
looking into my fuge earlier today, saw some interesting stuff.

just looking to give my new...
i like that type of stocking. variety is good. :) and 40 tiny fish have more variety than 2 big fish.
and i keep planted tanks. from them i learned that a school of 30 small fish is more aesthetic than 1 bigger fish just pacing back and forth in front of the glass.
