    It is a dry heat, yeah right !
    Love that chalice, it's actually one of the few chalice that would pay for. The Watermelon, Bubble Gum, and Pink Boobies are the ones I would love to have.

    somehow a visit to my LFS always costs me money :) Love that chalice - stunning colors!! don't blame you for popping that one right in!

    I think I missed what fish you were re-homing? and the why? to keep more coral?

    Unfortunately quite a few. They were Codys, Some may have seen my other threads about it. He passed away at 21 after a 6 year battle of Cancer. I had broken his tank down for his mom and set up a 75 grow out tank as part of my system and put them in there. The fish were nice, Pair of clowns, a hippo tang, yellow tang, melanarus wrasse and a not so safe angel - the name escapes me. I had already had to pull the LPS out of the tank, but not the reason they got re-homed. My wife is still having a hard time from him passing, we were very close to him, she has been friends with his mom since he was a little boy, She basically watched him grow up. She requested I re-homed them.
