  2. My mad computer skills

    Thanks to my skills with a computer, And my willingness to help out the LFS's ailing laptop, I walked away with a really great deal on this little guy.

    This one was shaded a little during the shot.

    Questions - Need some input
  5. Some lighting/technical questions

    I now have two frags of soft corals, a zoa and I forgot to ask my LFS what the other one was. I got lost in its awesomeness and made a hasty purchase. Take pics tonight.
