    No, I mentioned the goby. ;D
    And I will help set up the 300 when the time comes, as long as Roger is cooking. Then I'll call every month and laugh at your electric bill.

    Not even Dr Frag can dream of keeping up with your sps growth and coloration with 1200 watts of MH overhead plus 2 VHO 48" actinics for a total of 1420 watts! Over a 90!!! Sheeeessh. At least I get some awsome frags outta the deal. ;D
    You know, you might be better off starting a "90 up and running" thread until the 300 gits here, lol.

    You No Bogie I really am not the type to care what anyone thinks . I know what I no you see what I no on a regular bases in corals , their growth rates and coloration and thats all I care about what I do and no .

    I have never wanted to be a expert :) Just a simple old fart hobbyist thats just trying to get along with my tank. Growing corals is very much like growing a nice lawn :) And with the corals like the lawn all the locals on this block have lawn experts doing their lawns But we have the lawn they all shoot for to equal :)
