    Thursday started like any other day untill noon. Went on a call to a geothermal not cooling. The guy takes me to the t'stat and he has a 225 gallon reef in the wall. Costed me half hour looking at the tank after I was done. His wife said he had a 500 gallon at his office. So after calling in and getting the next call, get to the next guys house. He takes me into a finished basement, first thing to catch my eye is a 120 gallon reef in the wall. After the technical part we end up infront of the tank with a very large freezer bag. He gives me a peice of red monti plate 6x4 inches, 4 peices green monti plate, 3 kenya trees 1"+, and a 3 head branching frogspawn ;D. So after that call needless to say I wanted to come home lol. But at last nope, one more regular type call.

    Just thought I would update on these corals, seeing how monti, and frogspawn are my first non softies. The frogspawm has lost color, it is more of pastel color now. Could that just be coming from the T12 lights to my T5's? The up side is when i put in in the tank there was 3 large heads and 2 very tiny branches. Now I can count at least 4 new ones that poped up and flesh tone. The red monti, which is a vase type has aready healed where I broke a peice off to have two. The green monti in the upper parts has faded but the ones in the bottom part are just as geren as ever. Kenya trees just say normal lol. I did take him back some GSP. Said his all did out from algea.
