Everything is looking nice. BTW, you have wayyyy more SPS than I do. So you're now "one of them". Deny all you like. You have fuzzy sticks in your tank!!!!!!
And yet...you've read them all haven't you Tony...must be something more to mine than just pellets! JK...Your thread is jam packed full of very informative stuff...about pellets!

You know once you get a few fuzzy sticks...they kinda grow on ya! But...I don't think I'd be calling me "one of them" just yet!

Thanks Josh and Shawn!

Hmm, let's see. Stage 1 ... "Denial." Check!

Congrats on sliding down that slippery slope.

PS. I have read every single page of your thread. In some cases more than once!

Ya think??? Aw Come on, you all know I am still and always will be a sucker for the softies and LPS! (Assuming my new pellets don't kill off all my LPS Tony!!).........perhaps I am in denial....hmmm...

So I even have TONY hooked! Every page? More than once?

Carmen, the tank looks great! But beware the power of the fuzzy sticks!

It starts the same way for everyone: buy a few frags and lose a couple but the others don't die: they grow! They grow so fast compared to LPS you start to believe. I can grow SPS! Then the little frags grow into small colonies and you begin to wonder why they are considered tough to keep. The small colonies grow into beautiful large colonies and you start to think you are the "WUNDERBAR OF SPS".
Then it happens: You wake up one morning and one or more of your beautiful big colonies is bleaching out. You don't know why! There is no apparent reason for it. Next thing you know they're dead and you're humbled. This scenario plays over and over and over again. But can you give them up? NO! The fuzzy sticks have a mystic power about them. You buy more to replace the ones you lost and so on.....and so on......and so on.....................

Oh Lance! You make me want to stop NOW! Freakin me out! I know that sps is abit of a gamble...I lost a bunch when I tried them in the 72G. Hence the reason I am not convinced I want to be a sps junkie! Perhaps a happy mixed reef would be ideal for me...if I can keep everything happy. That is probably a challenge in itself! Perhaps the reason this hobby is soooo addicting is the challenge! If it were "easy" we wouldn't be so inclined to keep throwing money into it and trying over and over...
