Long Day! had a plumbing melt down that cost $800 to fix. but met a guy that used to work for ORA in FL. he was checking out my tank too. Had to run all over the place today picking things up and also fixed the security light that malfunctioned this winter since it was a warm day.

I don’t think I have any chance of winning but I am just hoping I don’t kill them lol. The competition frags are supposed to be easier Acros so I am giving it a try. I had a $100 off code so I went with the $400 box as free shipping was $250+ and then I get the three frags for the competition for free. So I get either 13 acro frags or 4 high quality and three competition frags or 7 total. So pretty good deal.
Is it a public code lol? Or one time use? Lol im about to order mine!
 
Hello everyone. I went to my LFS today and ended up with a Geometric pygmy hawkfish! He is tiny and awesome. Ill get some pic after the water change.

I can subtlety feel the unintentional peer pressure. I was just hovering over the buy button on a fish and I see this post.
 
If anyone has time to kill I thought this was a fun watch with a little bit of story telling, had a few chuckles along the way:


Loved this video!

Can't wait to see him!
 
Tried several times to get on the site during and after lunch and it would always show me the same post from before lunch and never updated until just a little while ago.

I didn't seem to have any issues but glad it got sorted out.
