    It is a dry heat, yeah right !
    The tank is looking great. You did a a nice job of coral placement.

    Are you still liking the BB?

    The RP will probably do damage to the nearby coral, mine kills everything except Pocillopora.

    thank you cheryl, I'm still in love with the BB. if i had sand there would be sand everywhere on my rocks, i have both mp10 on 90% reef crest. on a side note i bought some coral cutters. will be my first time fragging that coral thats in the way of the RP. ::)
