    You are too nice Norman. I can't tell you how nervous I am about the meeting being at my house in Feb! To me it will feel like sitting in your underwear waiting for a physical exam!

    Lol, hey don't worry you'll feel better after coming to my house next month. Right now it looks like I just dumped everything out of a bucket into my tanks. Their a wreck.

    No big deal Doc. We are just expecting some great grub and excited about seeing your tank. These guys are completely fine with whatever you have to show. I'm sure it will go fine for you. Give me a call if I can help you in any way.
    By the way, I think if you have to sit in your underwear and wait for the Doc, he should have to be in his underwear also.

    A couple of new additions and some random pics.

    Blue Aussie acro (Christmas present). Lousy cell pic. It's a light blue in person

    Orange Linkia starfish, I think he's in love with that zoa.

    A zoa I've nursed back to health after almost withering away (actually two different zoas)

    Hey David I just got the perfect tank mate for that linkia. Bring it over and let's see how it and this Harlequin shrimp get along.


    Palytoxin, did you just make that up?

    Buy your own sinking shrimp food! Halequin's are so cool. Thread with pictures required!

    Looking good! I really like that green acro. I took a piece of my chili pepper and glued it against a piece of my orange monti to see if they would graft.

    The meteor shower is another cyphastrea (SPS) but it's probably the lowest light requiring SPS. I thought I had them too high but they are both doing ok. None of those pictures do any of them justice. They look a lot better on my phone..LOL

    I know how the cell phone photos go! Are you using an iPhone? There's a free app called VSCOcam that can really make cell phone photos pop and is really user-friendly. After I do the Sunday night feeding of my tank, I'm going to research the meteor showers. I just haven't really read up on them much. But it looks really neat.
