    While my husband is working in Indiana, I thought it'd be a good time to drive out there and visit Otty and his family. Oh yeah, and see my husband too. ;D Otty invited us to his house for a BBQ. Gotta tell ya, those were the biggest burgers I've ever seen!

    Trista and Tanner thought the burgers were OK but what they really wanted was the bag of Skittles that I brought for them. If you visit Otty, don't forget to bring Skittles for the kids!

    After dinner, it was time to visit the fish. Tried to get some pictures of the fish but they were swimming so fast (and my camera was so slow) that this is the best I could do:

    Not much of a picture so you'll just have to take it from me....awesome! Scott also sent me home with a cooler full of frags!

    On Friday Scott and I went to Premium Aquatics. It's an online business but opens to the public for a few hours each week so customers can cherry pick corals and fish. Got lots of supplies and a little pink coral for $5. Had so much fun it should have been illegal!

    Thanks Scott! Thanks Shelli! Had a terrific time with two of the nicest people you could meet :sweethear. Kas

    Pretty amazing, isn't it?!? Premium Aquatics is pretty cool too;)! Scott is like Santa that visits every year, I think I've gotten over 10 frags from him in the last 6 months! Karma up for just being a good guy Scott...

    So how is the tank Kas??

    You need to come back with Jim this week or next so we can hit a couple other places here in Indiana. Always nice to have company.

    How are the frags doing in the 75g????

    Good heaven's buddy. I didn't realize it's been this long. Your kids are so grown up since I saw them last.

    I'm glad you guys had a good time!!!

    Frags are doing great, Scott! I plan to order a refractometer to better control salinity in both tanks. Forgot to pick one up at Premium Aquatics. And guess what? We finally got the hood and bulbs over the 210G tank! Damn, that was exciting to finally see LIGHT in the tank. Will take some pics and post them on my tank thread tomorrow.
