Well the hat was free, that’s why I’m giving away. Kinda of a disappointment, no price tag hanging on it. I like to wear it slightly ajar with a price tag dangling. Might go to a store tomorrow and remove one and reattach it to mine, my home girls like it like that.
You're so right Kevin! That reminds me of my favorite gangsta! She was always rocking that sick lid with a price tag on it!

Well in my never ending attempt to copy John’s tank I present to you Happy healthy fathead dendro also the name of my favorite band, I saw them open up for The Who in 79 at the Blossom in Cleveland. Also we have here a perty maxima clam with white edges on the tips of his shell and reacting to light. I’m nervous about the Clam I hope I have enough par. My par meter was only a couple hundred but even if it was a 80 less it’s still at the minimum par, fingers crossed!

Our latest and greatest addition to the Dendro brother hood! Kevin that's an awesome colony. How many heads does it have? Ii really like the way it's branching up, of course you could situate it however you wanted to. This is one of my favorite corals in my tank! Oyster eggs, rotifers, and baby brine shrimp are your friend. Oh yeah, if they dont like those options, basically anything will work lol. They eat like beasts.

You're too kind brother.

Here are three pics with the new cam I got yesterday. I've been really busy today and haven't had the time to play "with it". It's killing me! I love new gadgets!

Hawk's are always cool.

Pic below is right before lights out. Second pic is the same one cropped. Lots of detail. I'm really looking forward to taking pictures with the new cam.
