I had an "untalk" with Direct Energy yesterday. They told me they couldn't talk to me because it was my husband's name on the account. I then asked them if they have ever received a payment on the account from my husband or was it is wife paying the bills. After a discussion, I was asked if there was anything else they could do for me. My reply was that if they couldn't talk to me, how could they do anything for me.

Kevin isn't even on the utility accounts, which is what makes it such a fantastic conversation to have had.
Well I am seeing some awesome things regardless of the messes and the electricity drama and stuff. The colonies we bought are colouring up like I expected. Too bad Kevin can't tell the difference between purple and blue, otherwise he would owe me his share of a bet we made. I had a gut feeling about one particular colonies. I thought it would turn purple if it was under a more blue light. Kevin said it would darken up to be a nice rich royal blue. Its turning purple. I'll try for some photos of the change later. My ups package, our new lighting, STILL isn't here yet. I'm so anxious to get the box!

Some pre-upgrade lighting photos;
You can see the bad acro crab if you look closely. He is coming out after dinner.  The colony on the right is turning purple!

So the package arrived, at the very end of the day. It contained the following;
 I got sucked into another XM bulb. I know Sanjays site doesn't say its great for par, but I love the colour.   All T5s, plue 1x250w on the right side of the tank.  Close up of the T5s  No MHs, T5s only  The T5s are stupidly bright. I think 9 bulbs would have been overkill. I'll take tomorrow to figure out what we want for a schedule and then program the associate timer.

Looks good, Catherine! I love me some T5's.
Question: why is the acro crab bad? I've never heard before that they are.

There seems to be two different types of acro crabs. The good kind are hairless, and often have a black mask type pattern over its eyes. This is the bad kind, they kill the good ones, and seem to eat the polyps on the sps. They all seem to have light blue eyes, and a hairy body.

Yeah, I'm not sure that's really an 'acro crab' per se as it is a 'crab that came in on an acro.' I had one like that, it definitely ate SPS polyps yum yum, and grew from a wee little 1/4" to between 1/2" - 3/4" in the space of a few weeks before I was able to catch him. I stupidly put him in my 110g cube at the time, I'm sure he's still in there along with the dozen or so other HH crabs in that tank. Man they live forever.
