its a great start, excited to see it get some water in it :)!

Yeah people tend to like seeing water.

I went PC lighting and am now jealous when ever I see people getting MH's.


I had a peppermint shrimp, he was kind of boring IMO. Although, it was a cheap purchase, $5.00 CAD for me.... My cleaner shrimp ate him. The cleaner is much more interesting and just as easily available, however it's about 5x the cost.... ~$25-40



oh... Australia, another reefer (louist I believe) claimed that the skunk cleaner shrimp were very very expensive where he was.

keep taking pics!

wondering what are the image of resun chillers in australia. resun seems almost unheard of here in the united states.. except for the new, controllable powerhead. any comparisons to jbj artica, jebo, current, pacific imports, etc.? thanks..
