  1. Super annoyed.

    Long long week and a half. A friend getting out left me with a bunch of live rock. And two tomato clowns. The clowns are fine, but the live rock required some re-aquascaping and another tank being started. It looks ok, pictures later.

    Still getting the hang of posting pictures, so please forgive this round. Just to get something up!

  4. You aren't your khakis

    Hello fellow Reef Addicts! My name is James and after a couple of weeks of reading others posts and listening to podcasts, I've decided to join in the fun!

    I'm fairly proficient at the id of reef animals, but I guess I'll get to what you want to know, my reef!

    I run a fairly normal 75 gallon system. Eight 54 watt t-5s, overflow box, yada yada.
    I guess everyone thinks their reef is special or different from everyone elses, and no offense, but I find this to ...
