| I was almost of victim of impulse buying today but I refrained myself. My LFS show reef tank cracked yesterday and was forced to empty it. Therefor is selling any thing out of it that you want. My tank is not ready for corals so I did not buy any livestock. It was so hard. _________ Work hard to play hard! |
