    At 10W/gallon you should not have much difficulty keeping most softies and LPS coral (frogswpan, hammers, stuff like that) at all, some SPS may even do well, but require a very established tank to do well.
    Every electronic device is manufactured with smoke stored deep inside... only a true genius can find a way to set it free.

    Argh! That was using the some of the new math formulas they are teaching kids today, things just don't work out right anymore.

    Good catch Jerry, not sure how I managed to come up with that number at all... dang I never should have quit drinking, lost my best excuse. Disreguard my previous post.
