  1. If you had more customers like me you would be rich. Inside joke. I bought a mess of corals and never pulled the trigger on having them shipped, then my tanked crashed. So Jodi as to your question I think your prices are right in line. And your corals look very nice compared to some. I will shoot you a call when my tank is up and running. I have taken a break being a two time loser with my reef tanks has kinda hurt my feelings but I am almost over it.

  2.  

    It's just a suggestion, not a criticism. I don't mean to be up on a soap box, I'll step off.

     

     

    I feel your post was not soap boxish at all. I would rather gleen info from someone who has has horses for 8 years then read about from other sources. It is really hard for a person new to any reefkeeping to sort out all the information that is out there. My best luck has been listening to someone just as yourself who has been there done that and willing to share.

  3. This hobby was recommended to my Grandfather after his first heart attack to help him relax. He started breeding Angel fish in the 50's. He had 13 or so heart attacks after he started the hobby. I blame the hobby.

     

    It had to be the hobby, butter is so healthy.

     

     

     

    Butter wrapped in bacon is one of my all time favorites. Its good for you isnt it?

     

    I like the hobby because I can waste as much money as I need. And if the tank is in the right place you can even write it off your taxes;).

  4. let's keep this non inflamatory please.

     

    Not meant to be.

     

     

    There is an important distinction between personal opinion ("That guy always creeped me out, I'll never shop there again") and the actions of officially registered not-for-profit organizations that collect sponsorship fees from any given individual under discussion.

     

    What I would, or wouldn't do personally has no bearing on what I believe is the right thing for the club to do. Clearly, it rubs some people the wrong way but the American legal system is based on the principle that people are innocent until proven guilty. I think that's a damned fine system. YMMV.

    I don't necessarily think that TAD's reply was inflammatory unto itself.

     

    It was a cheap-shot rhetorical trick, a no-win "Have you stopped beating your wife yet?" device, apparently intended to discredit the target no matter how it was answered -- either by casting the target's "manhood" into question if one answer is chosen, or branding them a hypocrite if the other is.

     

    Oh wait, I guess it was inflammatory. Fortunately, it was also transparent and poorly executed. Dodged a bullet there, didn't we. "

     

    This is actually pretty funny. Thanks for the laugh Andy.

  5. I am a candy unwrapper.

     

    But my screen name is my initials Troy A Dean hence the TAD. My grandfather used to call me that and I hated it, sounds like a name from Lake Oswego or something. Thats it, now how do I change my screen name.

     

    See what you started.
