    Well,i sold my 29 fowlr so I can start doing things the right way with my 28,so with what i've saved up plus what i made off the tank I was able to get my spectrapure 90gpd ro/di unit(no more buying walmart water!!),and from petsolutions i was able to get some much needed test kits and suppliments along with a 200 gal box of reef crystals(on sale now) plus 1 large variety zoa rock and 4 sweet zoa frags(i made free shipping by $5 ;))I had to do it in 2 seperate orders(hey,i'm cheap)Got dry goods today and will have the zoas in the morning.

    I got both the api saltwater master test kit and the reefmaster kit,so now i'll be able to really know whats going on with my water vs using jungle dip stick kits(worthless at best)And with 200 gallons of salt,it ought to last a good while since I only have a 28 gallon now,but then again I still have a 15 and a 10 gallon laying around as well as some leftover rock,hmmm......;D


    Can't wait for the wife to get home from work so i can get a break from the kids and run a full test on my water,i think it's pretty good as i haven't lost anything,fish,inverts and corals look fine and so does my gha lol,but i bet my nitrates are higher than what the dipstick says and i'll also bet my phosphates are off the charts!(soon to be fixed!)

    Hope you like the picks!

    Congrats on all the new toys! great picks, although it looks to me like there is an aiptasia on the zo colony that is in the first pic. If it is aiptasia, you'll want to nuke that guy before it stings the zo's too bad and/or spreads in your tank.

    #4 is my favorite because I LOVE when there are different colored zoas on the same piece of rock :)

    +1 to the 2 different colors on the same rock. I like the colors of pic 2 the best though. Nice picks

    I'd be lying if i said i didn't like them all since every coral i have is either green(gsp,sinularia,hammer)or flesh(kenya,anthelia,toadstool)they will surely put some color in there.I still like #2 the best :p

    But yes the mixed rock is a close runner up.;)
