I'm excited... I just bought my VIP ticket to a new frag swap event in Charelston hosted by Joe Knows Reef. Lots of local and not so local vendors will be there. Check out the website www.reefdreams.net and Reef Dreams on facebook.

I’m considering driving up for this event. If my tank is wet and ready, then I most likely will. Looks like it’s gonna be a great event!

What's a car park? We have parks but you can't take your car... not in the park at least.

Hahaha, it's in Charelston... my truck is wider than 90% of the roads in historic downtown and taller than the parking garages. Everyone has small cars down there... altho, I can fit a 128 quart cooler full of coral inside the back of my truck and close the doors. Let me see you do that in your Mini Cooper. Lol... I'm glad it's in North Charelston tho, that's normal modern roads.

You guys are making me miss living in Goose Creek. I had a wonderful time living there and hanging out at Isle of Palms.

IOP was covered in snow last week... luckily, I got none of that northern rain.

I was only there for 7 months and I can confidently say I didn't see snow! I went back to IOP around 10 years ago and it made me sad to see how built up the area had become. Downtown Charleston was as nice as ever.

I have a bank account that's for nothing but reef tank expenses.

Chaeto appears to be shrinking, and it white on the top again. We took the H380 down and put the Eshopps light back on. Its set for 2300-1100, as its not a super strong light. If this doesn't work, I'm writing off chaeto as a snake oil gimmick and looking at algae turf scrubbers.

I’m jelous! If you don’t mind me asking, how exactly Is funds being put in there? Frag money, or just a little every week?

I also have the Eshopps light, great light IMO
