Don't quite what's going on in my tank today but the corals are looking happier. The trumpet, the hammers the blue torch, even the gold tip Indo look better. In fact the Peach Hammer and the Trumpet look bigger than ever.

I should be getting some Cipro tomorrow or Wednesday so I've done nothing different.

Weird but I like it.

Edit, I did add a little manganese for the first time a couple of days ago but nothing else has changed.

Yes!!!
Here's who I think is probably one of the greatest guitarists who ever lived
Gets no notoriety but man can he play...
Lots of great albums.
I got this album for a nickle at the food co-op yard sale while in college .
Can't even find this LP anymore.
