First MARSHreef Fragswap of 2011 Recap
This past weekend, the Marine Aquarium and Reef Society of Houston held their first frag swap of 2011.

I’m still playing with this new computer and trying to get used to all of the built-in features) There’s a new aquarium related website that has just launched called the Professional Aquarists Association (PAA).
