Re: My Oceanic Tech 120 and a request for input.
Time for some new pics all the way around, I think.
Sounds like we missed a birthday, Happy Belated Birthday James!
Well Mark,
Trying something new, while your calcium is way out of wack, and two major parameters are unknown and un-testable at the moment, really justifies your new screen name IMHO! ;D
Hey I'm starting to really like this guy. ;D
I use to say the same thing about the ocean, until one of the preasenters at our first frag swap stated that most of the ocean is hard bottom. Boy were there reefers all over my case that day! :o But the corals I like come from the sandy side of the...

James, with...
That is why you bought one of those! False advertising on the reef, who would have thought!
As long as we are going down that road, how about wrasses that actually do eat flatworms. :)
So I've been talking about how I use to target feed various LPS a lot lately. I began to feel a little guilty for neglecting things so I went out and got some frozen whole krill tonight.
Everybody enjoyed the snack. It was the first time I fed the elegance. I'm going to watch that one closely...
