I was sitting, drinking an Amber Bock and admiring my reef (just trying to start off the holiday weekend right) when the whites went off and actinics stayed on. Just wanted to share the view.

Thanks Fishtanker,
I have had my hippo the longest. He was about 2 inches when I got him back in Aug. 2002. He has lived through it all. A LFS that I no longer go to said he would be a perfect first fish after my damsels. (see why I don't go there any more?) He has lived through ICH breakouts and extremely high nitrates in my 46 gal bow and is now loving life in my 125. He is 4-5 inches now. Tons of personality, but always a little skitterish(hides in LR). Wouldn't trade him for any other!
notice the other fish in the pic.(mandarin) He was also suggested to me and sold with a scooter. Both of which starved to death slowly! More bad LFS advice! Both purchased before finding this board. I may get a scooter again (one that eats brine or flake), but I am done with mandarins!
