    lol @ "wife divorces you"! I tricked my fiance by telling her I bought the new nano for her and she can do what she wants, which is so limited in an 8gl that she has to get what I want. :pimp2:

    Haha, I know she knows, she says it all the time in so many words, she reads me like a book. The only problem for her is that she's hooked now. ;D

    i thought it wasn't good to add stuff that fast... i thought corals were like fish, in which you may add a little one now, and probably in a couple of weeks to a month, add another one... also, would this "chemical warfare" that you keep talking about mess up the water parameters? and finally, what are some good ones to start off with? the owner of the LFS here is giving me a green star polyp frag when my aquarium is ready (if he hasn't forgotten by now, its been a while since i've been to see him)... and i like a couple of other polyps (button, colony) and i've seen some mushrooms that i really like (blue, fluorescent green, ricordia), and some LPS (frogspawn, definately!, candy cane, open brain, etc.)... i actually haven't seen any SPS that is a "must have" for me... so yeah, basically, all i'll have is polyps, mushrooms, and LPS... and maybe when i get some good experience under my belt, i'll go with a pure SPS setup... MAYBE...

    Good answers...

    Esp. about "divorce" ---

    I "supplement" my addiction by at least a trip a year to Indonesia (Bali) to visit beautiful reefs first hand..

    OmarD

    PS...I always consider my current tank as the sump for the next...::)

    I am lucky in the way that my husbands addiction is parked in the garage in the form of a '64 Nova which has cost far more than my tank. He didn't even bat an eye when I said that I already am looking for my upgrade. Then again he has no clue what the upgrade is going to cost him! ;D I guess he really wants that new transmission!
