    Ya, way before this 4S, I had the 3G, the camera was not really useful for me. Now I use the heck out of it! You'd love the camera on it, and needless to say, the HD movie capability as well! Nothing really spectacular about the camera itself (8mega pixel and whatnot), the software is a lot more sophisticated, I think.
    Anyways, go for the 4S if you're due for an upgrade!

    It is a dry heat, yeah right !
    Aww you have some nice stuff now.

    Love the cyphastrea, looks like the sps are doing well also.

    I am of the belief that unless you have a content supply of aiptasia and other types of inverts and or sponges that CBC eats it's very difficult to keep them long term, even if they appear to be eating the entire time. Very attractive fish, I just never had long term luck with them. Three months was the longest for me to keep one alive.

    I love the tank, Alec! I need some more corals. lol.

    I accidentally snapped part of my monti today when I was being rough with it (attempting to glue it down). I just put the broken part on another rock.

    How long did the GSP take to get that size? I want mine to cover the rock i have it on. lol. It looks awesome when it covers stuff.

    Haha I have a branching monti that I accidently "frag" all the time. I had it up front originally, and had to move it towards the back after I slowly snapped off all the branches. Oh well..monti's grow quick. But it cut back the GSP all the time.. If I let it grow wild it would be everywhere, but I keep it in check pretty well. If you lived closer, I'd give you mine haha. It was like the first thing I got, I wish I wouldn't have put it there.

    Lol thank you thank you! Yeah everythings doing prettty well since I upgraded my lights.

    I couldn't agree with you more though. I think if I had been feeding a few times a day he would've made it, but I'm just not around enough. They're really cool fish, but oh well.. Lesson learned.

    haha. Thanks. I have the rock it is on, sort of isolated, so it can't get onto other rocks.

    I also snapped 2 small branches off my birds nest today. I tried to glue one of the branches on another rock. I somehow covered it entirely in glue. I'm stupid (so, I threw it away). lol.

    But things are growing well for me, so I guess it's not too bad.

    Haha thanks dude. My brother keeps trying to get me to let it sting me lol. His logic is "You'll probably get stung eventually, you might as well just get it over with now". I'm sure it'll happen sooner or later though haha.
