Anybody win on Saltwater Aquarium or BRS yet?

not for lack of orders with BRS for consumables to last through the year. It really puts costs into perspective when you buy everything all at once to last a year. Just a few T5 bulbs, GFO and salt left. Scrolled back to 2011 on orders from them and probably shouldnt have.

An abscess is a complicated thing Tim, why don't you take her to the emergency room and get rid of the doubts?
