For those heading to Corpus this weekend.

I don't mean to spam, but I know some of yall will be in Corpus this weekend. I just got back from Tropical Fish Haven and I bought a gold with purple tips acropora at what I thought is a reasonable price. The owner said he brought a bunch of stuff in these past two weekends. I saw that he has 4 different species of acroporas anywhere from fragments to decent size show pieces. They got in a gorgous encrusting hammer coral that would be a good show piece. I just wanted to give yall a heads up if anyone is looking for corals. There is a good variety there right now.

I can't wait until my lights get in to see how my acros react to them.

The last few days have been really calm seas and clear clear clear water. If someone has a surlp gun, they would be able to collect some tropicals for thier personal aquarium.

The tides are really low. This may make collecting peppermints a bit difficult, but not impossible. There will be few tidal pools deep enough to scoop up the shrimp.

I plan to spend Sunday down south fishing for sharks, but I may go down to the Port Mansfield jetties if the seaweed is too bad and snorlke around for tropicals. I really don't need any fish right now, but I may go for the heck of it just to see them in their natural enviroment. I wish I had my housing for my camera to take under water pictures.

Anyhow, have fun while you all are down here.
