So, question is should I or shouldn't I.....


Ask yourself when will you see such fine quality fish again and if $ is no object and the wife likes the fish too then you should keep them.
Money is no object for Rich, and the wife will be ok with the pair of Wrasses as long as he tells her that they were $59.99 each.

*We always divide what we spend on Fish Stuff by 10, whenever the wife asks.

I put a hold on them....money is always an object but you are right about fishes that nice don't come around that often!

Speak for yourself....�� you know I don't hide anything from the boss!�� but I don't usually have to tell her unless if she ask me.

So after a few times visiting JL and checking out the Rhomboid I just couldn't pull the trigger. Even though they are amazing fishes, it was just too rich for my blood. I was there when the guy picked them up, I was almost ready to wait for him outside and mug him. Just kidding!

On the other hand the tank is full of new sps frags thanks to the Victoria frag swap. It was so nice to meet other reefers whom share the same passion and love for this hobby of ours! Also like to thank Brad for putting all this together, your generosity won't be forgotten.

Tank has been up and running close to 4 months now, I must say its looking better and better everyday. All the sps are growing rapidly I just wish I can take some better photos so I can show all you guys. I have been talking to a few canreefer about getting a setup but I just haven't made up my mind on how much I want to spend yet...

Here are some pics of the new ultra clam I recently acquired.







also a few nice frags

This is a picture of Brad's tank, I just love this piece I got from him, color is amazing on this piece, light blue green base with red polyp. Stunning.
