    Well looks like I better just take the submarine ride in the corals or tie my hands behind me and snorkel. I do not want pics of sharks - tangs will do just fine

    Wow I saw the pics - fantastic . Am I allowed to ask you your water chemistry?? I'm trying to get mine adjusted and I can see your water quality must be in really good shape. I'm starting to wonder if I should monitor Iodine as well.:D
