Nice meeting you as well! How is a 'softie' different than the 'frags' that I have? BTW, the brain coral frag that Dave pointed out the tentacles on still had some of them out - maybe 2-3" when the kids came in and I pointed it out. They were thrilled!

Thanks! Are those the WW II "Pineapple" types? Or the more modern "baseball" ones? I love the 'idea' of Oceanography, and can relate my limited aquarium background on another, less late, evening. I have no idea what 'frags' are - but I'll find out what kind of offer you've made. Thanks! Always remember, and never forget... Dave Lin gave me a Tank. He dinna' give me knowledge of what's IN it yet. ;-)

With a generous donation from a local company, my third grade class has been the lucky recipient of loads of coral, anemones, and five fish. Dave Lin spent many hours helping me set up the plumbing on the (also donated) tank, and sump. My students have delighted in the tank, and several have used it as a springboard to better use of their writing skills as well. Once the students settled in, I let them submit "what I like about our Tank..." or what is good/interesting/neat, etc about it. They worked fairly hard, and I selected (my criteria) the best 5 or so for snippets of audio over video of the tank. Most of it is of the ever popular eel. I promise, I hope all future podcasts will be shorter. It was our first, so bear with us, the authors are eight, some nine... http://fcps.blackboard.com/webapps/lobj-po...I=+/podcast.xml
