All but one cardinal made it so far. Everything else is doing great. I got 2 cardinals, but I seem to have bad luck with them. One did the usual, gasped over and over, until he died. At least I'll get my money back... Now I have one left and is how do you determine the gender? Will cardinals change genders like clowns?

I had to re-glue down the tubs, but they just opened up today. I'll get some pics when they open up a little more.

I felt pretty good about vividaquarium and overall the fish are doing good. I hope everything opens up better tomorrow. I might go to a local lfs and see if they will order in fish and what their policy is on them. I don't want to buy it if it's not looking good...

Oh, I got a neat looking crab in the xenia. It scared the crap out of me when I was moving the piece to my tank. All I saw were these legs starting to crawl towards me! He is the same color as the xenia and from what I found so far he's harmless.

Tubs, GSP, a lot of xenia, hypnotic zoas, orange plate, frogspawn, 2 cardinals. I'm sure I'll get a little negative feedback on this, but I also got a small yellow tang. I did a lot of reasearch on this fish and it will do just fine in a tank 50g or more. I have a tank I can more him to if he becomes too large.

Not sure if I mentioned this before but at PSU they have a 500g reef tank and a 250g tank. I'm looking to volunteer with these tanks and i can't wait to do it! A few local reefers are passing some SPS(monti caps), palys, mushrooms my way. There aren't too many reefers in my area so i'm just glad I found a few.

There coming.... Only 1 of the tubbs has opened and I'm hoping more open today. I get some pics when I get home from work.

I found someone giving xenia away buy they wouldn't ship! They were only like an 2 hours away.

I didn't think prices were too bad. I guess I'm just used to high prices with my last few LFS's.

oh my!

I like GSP and Xenia, but I need to keep them away from other rocks so they don't spread. I'll probably move them both when I get my 10g setup.

I'm not allowed ordering anymore stuff until September - October, but I plan on a few LPS/SPS then!
