  1. Sorry to hear that you are selling everything. Hope all is well? BTW, who makes a 135 gallon rimless cube? Is it glass or plexiglass?
  2. I have a 44" round "Rust Color and Cream" Marble table, pedestal style for sale. It originally came from the Four Seasons Hotel. I have two of them and want to part with one. It is beautiful. It is in need of a nice buffing but that is all. Seats a comfortable 4 or a cozy 5 people. I'm asking $500....It was originally $1500 ten years ago. I just saw some of similar type while out of town and they were $2500-$4000!
  3. I have a 55 Gallon tank that I would love to get rid of. I'd be willing to trade it for some ACRO's?
  4. Not to steal anyone's thunder, but I also have a few of these if anyone is interested. They are from shipments from Dr's Foster and Smith, Live Aquaria.
  5. Make your life easy and call John at Kingfish. He did a great design on mine and is fairly unique as far as I know. The quality of work is first rate.

  12. It would be really cool to see if some of the stores would "Sponsor" a meeting and allow us to do a giveaway at the meetings. Even a gift card could be cool! I'd like to put it out there to see if River City, Aquatek, Kingfish and others might be interested?
  13. Put me down to host a meeting. Contact me for date/time.
  14. I would like to host a meeting at my home. How do I go about this? Let's talk date/time.
  15. My website at Nonna's is in dire need of "Looking Cool". It's not my forte. I also want to start a Blog with various topic layouts much like this site only for my restaurant. I love the format of this site and notice that a lot of sites use this format. What is it? Where do you get it? e.g: Make reservations, ask questions, recipes, you suck/we suck comments, blah, blah, blah... I could trade a dinner or two at my place or give you a Gift Card???? Bueller...Anyone...?
  16. Sorry I can't make it, I have to work.
  17. I bought a Blue Tang and a Naso Tang today so, don't need those any longer. Moved my Anemone to the fuge in the sump if anyone wants her? Dave
  18. I have a Green Carpet Anemone that I've had for a few years. It is very healthy and attached to a piece of LR. You'll need to crater a bit of sand and place the LR in the crater. Anyone want to buy it? It's huge...about 10" across. Beautiful animal...but deadly! $75 or trade for a Naso Tang or a Pacific Blue Tang or other Reef Safe Fish. I currently have a Sailfin Tang (FYI). Would also consider SPS/LPS. From Live Aquaria. True Carpet Anemone - Tan (Stichodactyla gigantea) QUICK STATS Minimum Tank Size: 50 gallons Care Level: Expert Only Temperament: Aggressive Reef Compatible: With Caution Lighting: High Waterflow: Strong Placement: Bottom Water Conditions: 72-78° F, dKH 8-12, pH 8.1-8.4, sg 1.023-1.025 Max. Size: 3' Color Form: Tan Venomous: Yes Diet: Carnivore Supplements: Calcium, Magnesium, Strontium, Iodine, Trace Elements Origin: Indo-Pacific Family: Stichodactylidae Excerpt from Live Aquaria: The True Carpet Anemone has a wavy appearance, and lives singly, in the shallow waters of the Central Pacific, Indo Pacific and Red Sea. Normally found on rocky reefs with soft muddy or sandy substrate it can attain a size of up to three feet in diameter. This anemone is also referred to as the Carpet Anemone, Gigantic Sea Anemone, or Giant Carpet Anemone. It has relatively short, tapered tentacles with a milder sting than its close relative Stichodactyla haddoni. The True Carpet Anemone and can be distinguished from Stichodactyla haddoni by the rows of spots on the underside of the oral disc which stop at the column. This anemone serves as a "host" for many types of clownfish in the wild including: Amphiprion clarkii, A. perideraion, A. akindynos, A. rubrocinctus, A.barberi, A. bicinctus, A. ocellaris, and A. percula. The True Carpet Anemone requires a tank with very strong lighting and strong water movement. The aquarium should have a variety of sandy and rocky locations as this animal oftentimes can move about and seek refuge in a place it prefers. This species of Carpet Anemone prefers to bury its foot into the sandy bottom at the base of a rock, and it will oftentimes attach itself to the bottom of the aquarium glass, where its column is completely protected under a rock and in the sand for protection. When first introducing this anemone into the display, it is best to try and dig out an area of the sand bed at the base of a large rock where you prefer it will reside, while decreasing the flow rate for a brief period of time during so that it is not blown around the display. Doing so will allow the anemone time to settle in, so its pedal disc or foot can adhere to the rock where it is placed. Once in place, carefully move some sandy substrate around the column and increase the flow rate back to the normal output. The True Carpet Anemone has somewhat of a potent sting and may harm corals and other anemones as it moves about the aquarium. It is not compatible with other anemones within a 12" diameter, so monitor it when it is first introduced into the tank. This species of Carpet Anemone can eat fish in the display aquarium so use caution when housing a Carpet Anemone in with fish other than clownfish. When adjusted to the display aquarium, this anemone is very sticky to the touch, and when it grasps something (or someone), it is very difficult to convince it to let go without damaging the animal. It is also one of the few anemones that can cause a severe reaction in humans, especially when it comes in contact with areas of the skin that are more sensitive like the underside of the arms, or back of the hand. The True Carpet Anemone is one of the most challenging to maintain in the home aquarium, and is best left to only the most experienced, veteran aquarists. For proper care, a fully established aquarium, with perfect water chemistry, adequate water flow and strong illumination, along with weekly or even daily feeding is needed. Ideal foods consist of chunks of fresh fish, uncooked shrimp, large mysis shrimp and other meaty marine foods.

  22. Mike, Thanks, that's a great story! I'm sending off a letter now. I have about 20 ideas that I'd like to patent, everything from underwear to sports equipment. I'm going to have to get some of these rolling so I don't have to work so hard for the rest of my life! Best Regards, Dave
  23. The adjustment is literally a hair width adjustment at a time...LITERALLY. Turn the thumb screw a hair and wait a minute to see if the frequency of the tank matches the setting and creates a wave. If not, turn it another hair and wait a minute...etc. The worst thing with the Tunze setup is it does not have a digital control with numbers from 1-999 for example. The stupid little thumb screw adjustment can easily be bumped then it's a lot of hunting again for the right "dial-in". At least with digital you could write down your setting, say, 734, and just reset it again.
