I still remember sitting in your science class having a staring contest with "Hootie." I thought that was the coolest thing. I had to downsize mine tank to a 40B from a 92. I couldn't get a clear enough shot of my zoanthids with my camera at the time, but they're in there somewhere. I still have those "Goochsters" too.
this was my 92

check out this frog spawn. it literally doubled in size since I switched to a 20K halide just a few months ago.
