Pet Shanty is still there. I stopped in just for laughs, and they had two blue striped angels, one was huge and the other about 4-5 inches. That is the guy I picked up on impulse. My tank is a 180. The 3 dwarf angels get along ok because I have lot of tank real etate and hiding spots. The...
As many of you may know, the majority of my fish were wiped out due to a generator failure during the hurricane. I have finally repopulated the tank from a variety of sources. I still have a decent amount of my SPS that survived the hurricane, but I did lose many long established colonies...
I have the pro version. Works great,very consistant. Had it for at least 5 years. Make sure the cuvettes are clean before and after zeroing unit, as with all photo type meters.

On the brite side, no loss of human life, and house is OK...

Well my pellets ain't doing squat in my tank. Going on 8 weeks, 750 mls of Bulk Reef Supply pellets. Maybe I should adjust the flow? Up or down? Nitrates are 10+ . BTW, Jim these are under my tank,which is not totally dark. Dan, you saw my tumble action, they looked OK to you right...
