She’s not lying! Your wallet will learn to hate you soon!!! You think it hides a lot now... hahaha
It already does with the torches I've purchased. I really want a mellow yellow and/or cotton candy at the price point of last mellow yellow.

i had to sell nearly all of my hammers because I ended up with an SPS dominant nano tank. Torches are the real MVPS they can hang with sps in a tank

Just checking to make sure I'm not missing something;

-Wait for the UC post
-Look at the pictures
-Read the descriptions
-Use the link at the top of the post
-Scroll through the pages to find the frag you are interested in
-Start the checkout process

No direct links, right?

Oddly enough, I find that if you keep the lighting and calc up, Acros are among the easier corals to keep. Once the system is stable, they're fairly forgiving.
This actually is pretty spot on. Unless you have an evil tank that likes to steal acro slime....;Rage

I also find sps give the most back, they grow fast look amazing in a tank and they pay for themselves eventually.

My wife is very understanding. I'm setting up an 80 frag tomorrow, and have already been green-lighted for a +150.

The only thing she's not happy about is that one of the nanos will be going down (softies in that one).

i dont rock out with anything over 450, what is your high end?
It’s not the par that’s the problem. I have an extremely active nutrient export so I keep alk low. So low alk plus low nutrients=torches get roasted if they get too much direct light. Lol
