    Well we went down to cali for the day and we stopped by The Aqua life aquarium in Rocklin.
    That place was amazing!8)
    They had two monster tanks one with this really big shark and some huge fish and a 300 gallon frag show tank.
    they had lots of fish tanks
    They had tons of deals on corals they had all their small sps frags for 10 bucks!
    frogspawn/torches/hammers were 7 bucks a head
    they had some good stuff
    I got like 90 bucks of stuff (only one frag though::))
    I got a new piece of LR that I stacked on my other LR
    I asked for some cheato and they gave me a huuuuuge bag of it like 4 or 5 handfulls
    a single head of frogspawn/torch/hammer (can I get an ID on it?)
    some calcium and mag supplements and a calcium test kit
    and a korilla nano
    it was an awesome place next time I will have to get more frags 8)

    Also I used the cheato to finish my fuge
    my dad and I hooked up a 6500K bulb (one of the spiral ones) into a gangbox
    got all of the cheato in there lol and there is LR rubble at the bottom
    anyways fun day

    sorry for the cloudy-ness
    the korilla stirred things up

    Looks like a frogspawn, but will be able to tell a little better once it opens up.

    well i had a baaaaaaaad phyto bloom couldnt even see through my tank
    been about 2 weeks

    thanks to pack for advice on how to kick the phyto

    i blocked all light from the tank for about 6 days
    then the past couple days i have been doing 2-3 hours actinics so i can feed everything
    also the past three days i have done 2-3 wc per a day
    "The solution to polution is dolution" ;D
    and... i can see my tank again lol!
    anyways everything made it

    but the frogspawn fell off the rocks head first into the sand and got beat up
    yesterday the skeleton was showing and today it turned into stringy mush
    it was cheap though ;)

    pics are only with actinics gonna do one more day of wc

    oh and my zoa frag sprouted its first new head! :)

    so yeah thats about it 8)
