New Additions

As expected today FedEx delivered my frags from http://www.fragalot.ca/
Everything was packed very well in an insulated box with a heat pack and lots of newspaper, i floated, dripped then dipped them and got them in the tank nice and quick. Overall I’m quite happy with the size of the frags except for 1 or 2 that are very small,bug still decent for the price, I will post pics tonight when im home from work, hopefully by then everything will be opened up

I'm especially excited about the Diaseris frag I bought from a semi-local reefer (upper right in photo). ...

... iPad2 3G!!

I've been wanting one for a while and tonight I picked up a brand new one. Gotta love Walmart at 2am. It'll be nice to see stuff on a bigger screen than my iPhone 4 when I'm out and about.

It'll be handy to show images of my reef. It'll be handy to keep up with email. It'll be handy when I surf ...
