    THanks! It's fun to be on the Bay and Santa Cruz is a lot of fun too!

    Well it doesn't have a heater (boat heaters keep it in low 70's) and it does have a local rock anemone so you can say it's part of the way there. :)

    Attached is a crappy cell-phone pic I took yesterday. I love this pico. My rock anemone moved to a nice spot up front under the gsp too.

    By the way, the boat is really rocking this today and went nuts earlier this week when we had a small earthquake. The corals seems to like this!

    Hmm, good timing! I was just thinking about this thread and was wondering about the rocks. Are they secured somehow? or can they shift? Looks good :)

    Thank you!
    I am really happy with the color on the Bubble. That was a Reef Empire score sometime ago. The huma stretches for the light but looks very healthy.

    Thanks! For the rock I took small pieces and wedged them under the big rock which leans against the backwall. This seems to work well.
