That's about 10 years and 10 tanks ago. Yes it was nice. It was fun. Adam Blundell came to my place on the Reef Tour then and was inspired to get into the hobby. The rest, as they say, is history. ------------- Reefkeeping Tips, & quick, easy setup tricks: www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9244 Pay it forward - become a paid WMAS member
