Ooohh. Special.

 

[Geneva]

I will be there! Does anyone happen to know where Room 405 is or the closest parking lot?

 

[Enderturtle]

I added a map to the first post and circled the building with a pink circle.

Seems like it's closer to the parking lot without the solar panels.

 

[Enderturtle]

Looky what Unique Corals sent us for tomorrows Raffle! 8 primo UC frags and two Triton test kits!

If youre coming through and interested in the raffle you have to be a supporting member. I see you guys with your "Guest" titles!!!

I am going to acclimate the SPS to my tank because I dont think they should remain in 1/2 cup of stagnant tank water for over 24 hours. Will bring them tomorrow with labeled bags for transparency sake.
