the bluejaw and sargassum are my favs. They have a sargassum here in redmond that I'm still considering.

shouldn't but depends on the fish. they are planktivores and won't screw with anything that's not in the water column. Notice I said shouldn't. My bluejaw is a model citizen.

yes!!!!!!!!!!!! as are bluejaw and sargassum

I understand. When I worked at the store here in redmond, the best thing I could do is talk to the people, ask them about their system, what they like. If you can get a guy talking about himself, he'll spend money with you. People love to talk about this hobby, probably more so than any other hobby I have been in. If I walk in your store, you can get down off of the ladder from cleaning tanks and have a conversation with me. If those guys that ignored me knew that I had a fairly fresh 150 gallon display that I was trying to stock with some different, more interesting stuff, I'll bet they would have talked to me.

you do make a good point. Like I said, I will handle the sponsors with my wallet. There are two stores in the portland area that I have been too where I have been treated decently. That is davy jones and rose city. Bob and nick are two good guys and I will do business with them. The first time I came to portland on my tour of fish stores, I went to about 7 different stores in 1 day and spent money in 1 and that was bobs. none of the other guys spoke to me and the few that did were really rude and I just choose not to do business with them. I do wish, however, that we could more freely voice our opinions here without getting flamed. Every lfs owner here has a couple of buddies here too. So you aren't getting blasted by the owner, you are getting it from other directions as well

I say that this is a CLUB forum and not a shopping forum. The sponsors of this site get really CHEAP advertisement, a place to show off their goods. I think the members of the CLUB should come first and if a member of the said club has a bad experience with the sponsor, it should be told. With that being said, I have never had such a bad experience that I felt it should be told. I have been in a few stores and was completely ignored but that's about it. Those stores didn't get a dime from me btw. That's just how I feel. If I had the experience that jeff had or the others that haven't seen their refunds, I would be upset and would let people here know.

I do need a tattoo. My wife (brokenzoa) has been discussing hers with you

:rolleyes:I like how c24's sell thread became clay tattoo thread

those candycanes look amazing dude. How many heads did I give you. 5?. They look great. good job

that's a nice deal on that favia. wish I had it.

LOL @ tree, monkey, fruit!!!!!!!!!!!!

The first named gbp that I can find on coralpedia have green skirts and look identical to c24's. I can't find any red skirted gbp. I think she is right on with the id and they are wonderful. I've seen them in person. That's a nice rainbow too and a pretty killer price.

couldn't get a good picture at all. I'll try later. It's there and beautiful tho=) Thanks again john

Just thought I would share my newest ORA additions. Oasis here in redmond just got a new shipment in so I had to raid them. I am quickly becoming an ORA freak. The First is the New Frogskin. I mounted it in a really awkward spot to get pictures but here it is none the less. This is my new Miami Orchid

ROFLMAO @ (laugh)(laugh)(laugh)(laugh)(laugh)

i'm seeing eric get the sps bug

hypothesis

great great great looking tank. Good job man. are you planning on any sps in this tank. I I wonder if your jawfish would let you get away with gluing a little monti cap on the side of his house or not. He would probably thrash it

awwwww he's already becoming a little man

my purple tang is about 6 inches now. His "tang" is ginormous!!!!!!!
