I would like to give a big shout out to Mrs. Bigbird, Allan, Moe, Ed, and Ping. First thank your for me a Josh on taking the flowerpot yesterday, i hope all goes well and it survies. Also thank you for the frags very nice, that was like a added bonus to just hoping the flower pot makes it. They are very nice frags indeed, me and josh each took a guess on the colors they heads are. I know one i have is yellow and the other i will see when i get home i diddn't stay up long enough for it to open.

Allan i must say your tank is awesome wish i could see it in person. the galaxia frag is doing great looks great and is a great addition to my tank. I hope all is well with the frags i gave you. also YOUR VERY TALL. lol If nobody has met Allan you should great person.

Moe, man those conches etc. they are a very very cool addition to the tank. I hooked my daughter up with the hermit crabs since she bugged me all day about them. So she is raising hermits now lol. again thank you.

Ed, Man i can't wait to see they shop once its moved. I love the corals you have as well. the frag i picked up is doing great really love the colors an added addition to the tank, my wife is very pleased with the colors as well which makes me a happier person. lol.

Ping, All i can really say is WOW. I love the tanks the setup everything about it. I really love the fuge with the "snow" you know i had to get on the step ladder when allan just looked in. lol. I can't wait to see and hear how your experiment comes out. very nice. Also the frags are a wonderful addition to the tank as well. when i get a chance i will post pics of everything for everyone here.

I spent a full day from 700am-to 900pm (by the time we got home) Traveiling from Kingsville TX, to SA. Round trip cost for gas 75 dollars, food eh 20ish dollars, meeting everybody listed above talking about tanks, "star wars" etc. Priceless. Yesterday was a great trip for me next time i getting a hotel staying over night and doing it all again.

Again thank you everybody The frags/live stock etc are all doing well and a wonderful addition to my tank as well i am sure they are in Josh's.
