Hey guys I don't know if you remember me, but after a long time I am going to be back from time to time. I still think that this is one of the best forums. Any way here is a quick shot of my current 72 bow.

Shot is sort of fuzzy and some things have moved in and out of the tank. I will try to get some clearer shots today when my bro gets back with the cannon rebel.

nice site, though i am a bit skeptical about some of their zoanthids coloration, some of them just look too bright...have you ever ordered from them? if so, did it look like the picture when it showed up?

and...being me...i got distracted during acclimation and forgot to take pics so maybe tommorow or thie evening if they open right up

very good stuff then...i may have to consider oredering something...though the rocks are generally bigger than i get. i like to get small ones and just let them spread because i am really satisfied with my aquascaping and i don't want to change it too much ;)
