well MIs are just about the biggest pussies that swim......CBs are a little more adept at holding their own.....I hope


have you ever had an epiphany and think to yourself that you are so smart for thinking of that, only realize that you were actually stupid for not thinking of it before?.....finally figured out a way to keep my frags on my ghetto homemade frag rack




duh!.....why didnt I think of doing this years ago???? would have saved a few frags from getting lost behind the rocks....


I played with the settings on the camera a bit.....I think I may have finally nailed the color....







and the SS looked particularly shiny

Haha, I used to have a frag rack just like that. You probably don't want to hear this but it totally didn't work for me. Urchins and fish and snails just find a way to knock over frags if they really put their minds to it.

But uh .. I'm sure yours will work fine.

Hey Doug,

With your regime you said that you don't get huge growth, but I was wondering if you had any before and after shots of some of your beautiful corals from when you first set up the new tank.

I think you said you've only been doing water changes with the H2o for a year?
