    Yeap RB, once I get the setosa I want, that is it. Some zoanthids frags sure because I can easily dip and inspect them but no more sps. I over stocked anyway. ::)

    Been reading about the treatment profile for about a week now in a serious manner. Seems pretty straight forward, just was not as easy to obtain the medication as I had hoped but no biggy. Thank your for the offer though really appreciated, any and all insight is a good think in my book.

    The biology and anatomy of corals polyps just facinates me. I need to go back to school and a lab setting. Seems like acropora have different polyp types and structures for different available foods as near as I can tell. Probably bores most to death but I like it.:)

    hahaha thats what i always say until I see a piece in someones tank that is just awesome! then i HAVE to have it lol

    I agree! i love acros and their polyps included... People say that the polyps only eat particulate food but i have seen them eating cyclopeeze on a daily basis! not only that, but I have also seen them take down very large chunks of flake food too haha

    Yeah your right. :cheesy:

    If a shortcake or german blue came my way I could not say no. But the pocillopora and possible something else might have to go, no room and no I am not going to get a bigger tank. For once I am going to just let it grow.

    I may reget this post.........

    Coralline,

    I know the feeling. my old 75 was so full, you could not see rock. all I did was clip coral and sell. $10 a piece no matter what it was. (i didnt have anything fancy) Im SO glad I have a HUGE 180 now to fill up. just gotta get over a few hurdles.

    You have a nice frag swap coming up you are going to need the room. A swap would be a very dangerous thing for me. Looking forward to seeing what you come home with.

    I am going to be interested to see how the shortcake does for you. Been reading some reviews, seems to be a more difficult corals than I first assumed. Will need pictures please.........:p
