    I got this one at the Fedex office at 9:00 this morning and she was inflated in under 1 hour even without the lights on. She is a perfect specimine and is in perfect health. I have been doing my homework on this one. Everyone wish me good luck and Karma for my new coral .

    Still looking good. I think I need to be careful with the photo period. I dont think it likes my 4 VHO lights. Its just too much. I have it in the corner area now with a Gorgonia that sways back and forth shading it some. It kinda started closing up tonight but that may be because I have been runnng my lights at night and running fans durring the day to keep the tanks under 80. I ran them lastnigt from about 8 till 3 then turned them back on at 9 this morning because it cooled down utside. It may have just been too much light in a 24 hour period. You know how your corals look tired when its time to turn out the lights. Thats how it looked tonight. But was looking stunning today at lunch.

    I bought it from a ebay distributer that hand picks his corals and fish from hundreds from a wholesaler. He is just a hobbiest but has connections with wholesalers. I know that sounds like a line ( I personally hand pick from hundreds) but I have seen his past auctions and his feedback is 100 percent. He even said that I can call him with orders and he will shop for me but warned that if the livestock does not pass his " the absolute best " inspection then he will not buy your fish for you. He can get anything I want and is very resonable and a hell of a nice guy at least in email. I think I will try some more of his stuff I was happy with the coral and Red Sea Blue linkia star that I also got. Here is the link to the auction.

    Jay.............Still smiling ;D
