Thank you for your kind words. A biology teacher at Pomona High School is going to put it in his classroom :) :) :) Dennis

One of the tanks has come back :( . One of my tanks went to a school for the hearing impaired in the Los Angeles Unified School District :). But unfortunately, the one for the Montebello Unified School District is coming back. So, ONE FREE LARGE REEF TANK for a school (or other non-profit...

Tough question. I'm glad I didn't have to answer that :)

Sorry if it offends your sensibility Cixel. I actually thought I was doing a good thing by donating two large tanks and the required equipment to a school or non-profit. I guess you found my "catch" a little too complicated. And by the way, both tanks are going to local schools. The 140G to a...

Thanks for the offer, but I'm going to stick with a school or non-profit. You can see the tanks here: http://www.janeanddennis.com/reef/index.html Dennis

I have a 210G tank I would like to donate to a school or non-profit organization in Southern California. This includes the glass tank, stand, canopy, calc reactor, skimmer, sump, refugium, Ampmaster, and lighting. I think the animals and rock are spoken for, but there's also live sand. This...

There's more information about the tanks at http://www.janeanddennis.com/reef/index.html Dennis

I have two large reef tanks I would like to donate to a school or other non-profit organization. One is 140G, the other is 210G. This includes stands, canopies, sumps, and most (if not all) necessary equipment. Southern California only. If you know of a good recipient, please let me know ASAP...

I just did a page with the PB Tang: http://quikstor.com/reef/PB%20Tang.htm The picture is a thumbnail linked to a larger version. The movie is cute, with the PB showing up doing loops. Worth watching if you have DSL or Cable Modem Dennis

Some of you might remember that I purchased a Powder Blue Tang one month ago. For a week, he wouldn't eat a thing. I tried 4 kinds of spirulina, fresh caulerpa and other macroalgae, red algae, mysis shrimp, brine shrimp, Plankton gold flake, ocean plankton, my own frozen marine mush, and many...

Again, I want to thank everyone for their suggestions. Even those that feel I've committed a horrible faux pas :D Interesting discussion about whether PBT can/should be kept. Today he began eating red macroalgae :D :D :D I'd attached it to a piece of rock and dropped it to the bottom. He...

First, I want to thank everyone who contributed ideas, suggestions and support from a couple boards and email lists. It really helps to know there's a thriving community of hobbyists ready to help and discuss problems. As I conclude Day 7, still no luck on getting the PBT to eat. Here's a...

Thanks for the suggestion. I have both nori and garlic extract, and I can try that tomorrow. The straight nori on the clip didn't get any attention from the PB. The Yellow and the Chevron at it all. Dennis

Six days ago, I saw a big Powder Blue tang (Acanthurus leucosternon) with great coloration. Definitely an adult because of the slight orange coloration under the top fin. At least 4" and they hadn't started acclimating him. VERY feisty. Jumped and kicked a lot when they netted him from the bag...

The various ants, insects and bugs are getting too numerous in my office. There are demands for a fumigator 8O But there are two reef tanks, and I'm very concerned. I'm assuming the fumes would be a VERY BAD THING for the tanks. One company claims to use some kind of gel in lieu of spraying...
