    Ill pop in a nice pic of my fuge. The Halimeda Algae was taking root pretty cool stuff, I like it anyhow. (despite sucking calcium)

    Here is my list of pieces more than I could have imagined. This guy is super classy. He spent time running around twon getting me special corals from LFS and fragging bonus corals out of his own tank. As well as inviting me down to go fishing (which he will regret) I can't thank Kevin enough!

    Last of all the $500 Efflo. It ships poorly reportedly but has PE and will color up fast. Don't mind the fish.

    Now for Mr. Coral stuff. I know i know, but a $10 a frag place giving me free shipping and a free clam I had to take a shot. Like their ebay stuff my box was soggy lol... and a little chilly probably 68-70 but it was a blizzard. I floated AND dipped... hard which stressed out the SPS pretty good. Only one acro came in dead, and it might just be bleached it was tiny.

    Here are my new RPE and Kedd's Red. I have lost both these zoas in my 55g red zoas tend to melt in my own tank.

    My free Crocea clam. It WAY bigger then I thought it would be. I figure 2" at best, this is almost four inches, a nice burgundy purple with a gold band and blue spots. Pretty impressed.

    Tough spot for a pic of the Superman Rhodactis. I also got a cool acan but no pic.

    As you can see not as nice as Kevin's, though I did hit them hard with CoralRX. The had PE by lights out though, maybe my system is good for corals.
