Do we like her? Is she nice? Does she think you're cuuuute? (Imagine the voice of the young doe on the old Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer movie for the word cuuuute...) More importantly, does she like your fish tank? |

Does she have any strong feelings about whether Live Rock should be immersed in water while arranging it? Can it dry out at all...?  ------------- Renee and Damon Weimer Tankless in Hawaii |

A couple of things you should think about is: Does she know how use a gps locater to find the perfect spot for some new lbtr for the new sun-lit water jug, that has a healthy dose of the 'secret fertilizer' to grow lots of phyto for the clams, and other beneficial stuff in the 'deep' sand bed of utah oolitic while a whole mini ecosystem sets its self up? ------------- Was that in there yesterday?

Does she like fish in a box? Does she think you are a fox?? ------------- Renee and Damon Weimer Tankless in Hawaii |

Does she like fish here and there? Will we see her anywhere? |

Would she like a foxface Would she like a boxfish Would she keep a Kenya Tree Would she like to meet Steve Tyree Would she enjoy a trip to GARF Would she call your home the house of BARF Would she have buckets of sand piled up in her car Would she say a trip to Scripps is a bit too far Would she wire her own cooling fan Would she make her own pine wood stand Would she wire lights with silicone Would she allow a million tanks within your home Would she care if you are cheap Would she mind the sight of all that salt creep Would she mind the high electric bill Would she like the smell and taste of krill Would she like oolitic sand Would she be a Julian fan Would she like the softer corals Would she enjoy those macna quarrels Would she have a deep sand bed Would she prefer her Caulerpa red Would she like her algae to all be macro Would she like to meet my dear friend Calfo Would she be a friend to Chemical Jon Would she rather be a fan of Shimek Ron Would she read my monthly column Would she drill a tank through back or bottom Would she listen to Jake's crazy talk Would she frag her xenia by the stock Would she, could she do a water change. If so this lady might be a bit strange. And when we meet this lady for Mark, I'm sure a flashlight she'll use to find pods in the dark. Time will tell what we will see. Most of all I hope she likes me. Does she like a green chromis and a clam. Does she Mark, oh Mark the man! Adam ------------- Come to a meeting, they�re fun! |

"Does she like reefers and deep sand beds?"

Hmm, South Jordan. Hey, that means we could be on the special delivery list from Centerville. Speaking of special delivery Mark, the 29 gal Sea of Cortez tank is going up. How about some small amounts of: oolithic sand, tufa rock, macro algae, anything else lying around that might go in there to prepare for the Mexican goods arriving the end of the month. Nothing too nice as we have no idea what kind of non-benign critters we may be culturing. I can pick up thursday or friday, in Centerville, or I could meet you in South Jordan (that way I can report back to the Wmasses). How about it? ------------- Richard Alpine, UT |

I believe the answer to most of the questions is "yes" and that's a welcome, refreshing change from my previous life.
Best to call me.
I drive right by Rescue Alert twice a day now, but my mind is not on aquariums  Neither is my mind thinking about sand or rock. My Blazer is in the shop for collision repair, but I do have some LBTR in the trunk of the rental car but I'm out of Oolitic sand.
I know there are others here on the MB that have leftover sand.
Thanks so very much for all your interest and concern. You are all AWESOME! ------------- Reefkeeping Tips, & quick, easy setup tricks: www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9244 Pay it forward - become a paid WMAS member

Yeah mark--we still need your input, and the bit'o'advice that will come from your new friend. As to needing sand--I've a couple buckets of screened sand, I'm more than happy to bring one if anyone wants it. Let me know.
