Thanks Manoj. I guess one of the main lessons learned is if you want some equipment, don't go cheap. Just save up and get the right one. Something I still struggle with sometimes. I've wasted too much money trying to save money because I end up with the equipment I was trying to get a cheaper replacement for after finding out the imitations were junk.

Would love to see a closer shot of the mixed reef w/ the large sps colonies in it. Last I saw it in person, the colonies were 1/4 that size!

Looking forward to seeing more!

Hey Chris,
Any closer and you can see what a slob I am with the coralline. I will include a pic tomorrow of how that frag you gave me looks today. About the size of a big sand dollar. My wife's favorite coral. Thanks again.
