Mark - thanks. Got home and mixed up a small batch and its in the freezer now. Hardest thing was watching the video again to get the preportions right. Midway thru I realized I only have a 28 g NANO and didn't need to use 2 1/2 ounces of the HPD. Felt like a mad chemist as I threw in all the foods I had plus selcon, and minerals on hand. Wife made me mix it near the stove with vent on high- you're right it stinks. Looks as the egg crate will work to keep the frozen pieces the same size. Will find out tonight when I feed the critters. One thing - will have to get some Nori for the next batch. again thanks, wayneb

good one. lol wayneb

Mark, any word on Marine Depot order. Will pick up both at same time. wayne

I'm interested in both the sponges and gorgonians - give me a few days head up notice. wayneb

I might be interested in two or three weeks. wayneb

How about changing out 150 halide bulbs with 175s? wayne

Mark - PM sent wayne

Mark, no problem with minimum amount plus I understand shipping also. Let me know how much I owe you and will paypal you. Read about Selcon and would appreciate the small bottle of that also. Again let me know total and will paypal. Thanks, Wayne

Mark - you have ask right. Tell her its to provide you and the baby with entertainment when you get up in the middle of the night to feed the baby, so that she can sleep.

Mark- put me down for the minimum amount to start with. Figure it will be a good base mix to start with. Figure to add (Two Little fishes) Marine Snow and (Brightwell Aquatics) Elemental to my Vivid group order plus ground up frozen and dry foods to make a general feed cocktail for both corals and fish. Can anyone recommend possible other additives I might need too? thanks, wayne

Mark - didn't take me long. Add 1 ea Purple Plume Sea Fan (Gorgonia sp) =$49.99. (and still looking at other stuff) wayne

Mark, put me down for 1 ea Fire and Ice Zoa Frag =$34.99 and 1 ea 1"-1-1.5" frag of Red Sea Pumping Xenia Coral =$19.99. Will probably add one or two more if my paypal transfer of funds goes through in time. Again thanks for setting this up. Note: thinking of setting you up for receiving an automatic monthly allotment from my paycheck. LOL wayneb

Mark, was my email problem. Got it corrected and sent them an email. They verified my order and said it was correct and that the invoice was also correct due to multiply quanities being ordered.. thanks, wayneb

sounds good. Did they send a list of items ordered per member? My total was quite a bit less then I figured, and all they showed on my Paypal charge was "goods" with a total listed. Have been having problems with my (or theirs) email. Will try again later wayneb

Mark - sounds good. Any idea what time the order will be in? I can probably act as runner for the southerns (if they want) and meet them at a location near 35 and 71. It will have to be in the daylight though, as my night vision is limited. wayneb

No preference on when. Usually free/available after 12 pm. Now just waiting to pay. wayneb
