your a good dad...
I'll do anything I can to make him as comfortable as possible. He's my best friend, and as my service dog, the best medicine I ever got. He quite literally saved my life and, as such, I owe him a debt that can never be repaid.

They're very good to us and don't ask for much in return but belly scratches and...treats, never too many treats!

They arrived pretty cold and their colors don't look too good. Got them warmed up and placed (temporarily) in lower par areas to avoid light shock. Nice colonies, though.

Those are chunky. Where have you been purchasing your colonies from if I may ask?

The last 3 came from Live Aquaria. Be warned, their packaging is garbage. I have some on the way from SCC and Epic Aquaculture, too. Frags coming from BC, as well.

I haven't bought anything from LA in a long time. I went and looked at the SPS in divers den. Pricing isn't bad. Am a little disappointed that they don't get more specific on the species names.

Yeah, these were from Diver's Den. I'm glad they don't get too specific- it keeps the prices low, especially for filler colonies.

I hadn't considered that. I guess if they said it was a tenius or a millie then they may charge more for them.

After the holidays, I'm considering ordering two box lots from wholesalers. 1 LPS, and 1 SPS. I may wait until the spring for that, though, given the cold. Speaking of no names and lower colony prices, that is.
