|  Thats the one bad thing about a college tank, beer is the enemy. "No, the only bars fish go to are sand bars..." That canopy idea sounds cool. Like floating wood but with the lights inside. I got 2 new SPS frags today jump, grow babies grow!  Any future fish plans? Or just coral and inverts?

| Lol sand bars.....wow. Woo for frags! ya know, you could hook up a calcium reactor, shouldn be too expensive....lol what kind? i love looking at SPS, i dont even have any and im already hooked. I looked at the ORA site and i gawked long time. Im going with coral and inverts, maybe a firefish or small goby, like that one japanese orange spotted one.....yashia goby i beleive. But we will see how it looks without, and maybe in a few months ill get it. Today i looked in the tank and saw this white mini brittle starfish "walkin" around. think it will grow to be a normal size starfish? or just a lil one? if its lil its going in the fuge

| I'm gonna start Kalk here soon so growth should take off (fingers crossed). I added 2 new ORA pieces actually. I'm begining to shop mostly for ORA unless its something special i am looking for. Now have 6 (?) ORA varieties. I got a Blue Millepora (beautiful) and a purple polyp Monti Digita. Oh and BTW, ORA's site doesn't do ANY justice to the quality of their coral. Cool. You should get some Sexy Shrimp haha, those are awesome.

| I'll be crossing my fingers with ya, cuz it makes frags grow and can demolish a tank in minutes. but if you start off slow, with a diluted solution, running it through your top off, you can get it to where you want it within a couple weeks. im using instant ocean now, not reef crystals yet, and my calc is like 400 and alk is 8 whateverunit-it-is. ya i almost bought an ORA frag, i think it was Chips acro. deep purple, awesome. I cant wait for SPS, just a little longer, not quite ready. Never seen a Sexy shrimp. illl goog it.
