    New Lebanon Reefer

    He has some pretty interesting information about skiing. I have read it around 13 times. I think we have some kind of spam on here.

    Sad Story

    Well I just went out on a fire to a house and it turned out not to be a fire but there was lots of smoke. As I am looking around the house for the cause of the smoke I go into a bedroom with 2 big saltwater tanks. Looked like they had been nice in their day but now just a mess. After searching...

    Dead dead dead

    Well I made the move to a 40 breeder and somewhere along the line I lost almost all my corals. Myparameters weren't bad but all my sps are goners. This is very saddening to me. Hopefully in the next couple weeks or month I can add one beginner sps to the tank and start there.
