I wash my hands, but gloves...please. I got open cuts regularly...since i was a kid in fact. you're nuts if you think I'm worried about getting infected by my reef. I know enough about science to know this is not a realistic possibility. I think it's a good idea to run a little carbon all the...

I know someone with a trigger in their reef. Apparently he doesn't do much damage at all. I was shocked...but there's always a first. I also know someone with a tracoon butterfly in their reef. Same story. Fish does little damage and growth is so good in these tanks the'yre trimming like...

You probably want to avoid the siphon tube. They make me lose sleep at night. :D See if you can plumb the fuge with a couple large bulkheads that flow into the tank. I had similar opinions about planktonic destruction as a result of going through a pump impeller, but the reality is I've...

i just had the whole evening out to reflect, and got a chance to reread some of this thread tonight. I'd just like to apologize to Jenn and Judy for the abbrasiveness of some of my statements. I'm not known for my sugar coating. :oops: In fact I've learned alot from this thread. I think I...

:roll: OMG. All i did was say your prices are good...relax and breath. Fine then...whatever lowers your BP works for me. Generally I don't rely on LFSs for service or advice. Quality is another story.

office lights won't keep anything alive. c'mon now.......THINK. they're OFFICE LIGHTS, not grow lights. PS - lol. sorry for yellin but i was traumatized after killing my bonsai by keeping it in the office. i wasn't thinking. :wink:

tell him to come online and tell us why you need that ozonizer! LOL This guy's a jackass if he's trying to pawn this on you. Don't give him any more business. And tell him what you discovered from your friends online!

Jenn, take some deep breaths..;) want you to know you have my complete respect and admiration. You too Judy. You're both obvious assets to the industry and the oceans. I've seen your posts all over, and was thrilled for you when you opened your store. Love your perspective and like i said...

ok...finally got through that post: Speaking of minorities...you are a minority Jenn. We need more retailors like you.

:roll:

That's not too bad, depending on the colony. And your frag prices are great. You'd get my business. You need to come teach some of our retailors a lesson or two. ;) I suspect it's also the source of corals that affects the retail price.. I know i can get amazing acro colonies at some stores...

LOL. I never said anything of the sort. I'm not breaking any laws just because my operation is home-based. I file with the state too. The good part is, it's not my livelyhood so i don't have to create inflated prices to break even, and there's no pressure to sell. My focus is on the...

:roll: didn't know i was one of america's most wanted! lol. spare me.

Propping for me is about studying and cultivating the animals, not my retirement fund. Of course Jenn was very informative initially, and i know her heart's in the right place. And she gave good advice to anyone starting a retail business.

yes Jenn, you were very constructive at first. It's this drawn-out reaction to eddie's replies that seems a bit melodramatic. I'm sorry, I'm sure you're not bitter. :D
