Well I think it looks nice.

I remember a thread on RC many years ago, when a lady was taking some flack for all the fake things in here reef, including the bubbly things. She finally said something like, [I dont recall it all], she was a nurse in a childrens cancer ward and when she came home at night she just liked to sit and look at her little tank with the bubbly things to help her cope after a day there, or something to that effect.

I have never forgotten that. So to each their own. Everyone has to make their little or big world what they wish or perceive to be their creation.

I surely would not put that in my tank. yuck but hey...it's only a matter of personnal taste.

I love sponges, real or artificial.

When i post something, I always make sure to be "politically" correct, not to offend anybody. Some people just don't know how to play this.

Except "political correctness" can also be offensive to some people. What you meant, I think, is tact.

I've had my run-ins with Daniella in the past, but have learned to respect her opinion. If anything, she might not be as articulate (another word for long winded) in English and come across as too blunt at times.

I would die to see what the mark up on that fake aquarium coral is. REALLY, 1.5 grand for a piece that's 30" across?!!!
