Zoas, button polyps, palys...anyone want to post pics of theirs?  I noticed on the larger reef forums, people have all kinds of crazy colours, I wondered what Ottawa people have?  I know when I've been around stores in town, I've never seen anything too exciting, such as the bright blues (tubs blues?), but I may not be looking in the right places.  :)

Life is too short to wake up with regrets.  So love the people who treat you right.  Forget about the one's who don't.  Believe everything happens for a reason.  If you get a second chance, grab it with both hands.  If it changes your life, let it.  Nobody said life would be easy, they just promised it would be worth it.

I just picked up a nice size frag of blue tubs on the weekend (i was in TO though)... not cheap... $11 / polyp

also pickup emerald on fire, some nice baby blue and orange, neon orange, etc... gotta go to TO to get the nice colours... will hopefully have some of these for sale by the end of the summer if people are interested... will start a waiting list and can post pictures sometime when I get some more time...

I was actually flirting with the Hydor pumps last night at work... they look very similar to the Tunzes and have magnets and everything.

I've heard a lot of good things about these pumps. Made in Italy, good quality.... earlier, smaller models had issues of leaking stray voltage in the tank. There was never any issues with the larger models that I know of, and they use next to nothing on power and disperse the water extremely well... and not to get all off topic, I got some really nice pink, light loving zoo's off pat afew days ago. They're awesome.

Dave88,once again, your pics are amazing! Do you use an underwater housing for these pics, or do you shoot through the glass?

Thanks Beertech, I keep the glass clean as possible and just shoot through the glass.
