My humor is also very dry so I apologize to all who thought I was upset or inadvertently offended. I know you are kidding Brad! I am too! Just trying to make you feel bad so I can get the free frag!

Yes I did notice that Brad! The superman coral you got from Tim which was what made me start thinking about this post. It's a small world in the saltwater aquarium reefing world! So remember that in your posts. The person you decide to be a smart *** to may end up in your house the next week looking at your tank being threatened by a killer weiner dog!:eek:

Thanks I will check out the article. Thanks for the more "balanced" opinon.

Again I'm a newbie but I have noticed that things in the Reefing world just seem to get recycled and go on and on..... For example, we sold some corals and our nano tank. Did we use that money to repair the house? pay to repair the brake light on the car? fund the children's college fund? No way! That cash went quickly into the fish fund to buy more corals, more equipment, more "stuff" for the aquarium or the new aquarium!(clap) Why? (scratch)so it will grow and we can frag it or trade it so we can buy more corals and more fish and more equipment!(clap) Pretty soon I will see someone else's tank and say "Hey that looks familiar"..

Those are some pretty good arguments. Do you have any specific articles regarding this information so I can read up on this. You are definitely talking me out of plenums.

Those phrases need no translation as they seem universal in every hobby.(laugh) I have not had any problem following those threads!

When you are grocery shopping at 10pm because you have been at fish stores all day. When the kids don't fit in the suburban because it is full of live rock.

Thanks! I forgot to put one on my original list: Frag- a piece of a live animal that people like to break off and glue to rocks or plugs and sell or trade and everyone seems to think this is normal behavior.(nutty)

Grazie Mille! Grassi! For the good deals on the nice rock! Thanks for letting us borrow the power head too! We'll get it back to you as soon as the FOWLR tank is up or sooner if you need it back right away. Glad you found your trigger. We were at Saltwater Fantaseas buying epoxy and ran out to the car immediately when we got your message.

Yeah, it is annoying when people no show. I don't get that. How hard is it to call and say you are not coming?DOH! You could probably get 1100 dollars easy parting it out but then you have to take time out of your day. Once you make close to what you need then lowball the rest! Judging by these threads there is a lot of interest. You might try posting it again on Craigs list so it is up at the top. I'll keep trying to bump it up for you here!

Again a plug for the snowboarders and Shaun White. As far as falling, I appreciate that. They could play it safe. Here they are training and practicing and they lay it on the line for one event and go all out. That takes guts! I read somewhere where one of the Olympic contenders suffered severe brain trauma from hitting his head on the half pipe. The figure skaters fall all the time too. It's not because they're bad. It's because they are trying to do the impossible!

Okay Brad, you got me RTN? (return?) STN? (someone took my nem?) Cyno (cyanobacteria?) And no I don't know what GPH stands for? I agree a list would be fun!

Wow, that would have been a hell of a deal. We just sold our cycled 30 gallon oceanic biocube last weekend so we could upgrade to a bigger tank. That would have been a hell of a deal. It didn't have mh's but soft corals and hard corals that don't like a lot of light like dendros did great in it. Where were you last week?DOH! I probably wouldn't have made an even trade. Would have had to offer cash or some nice zoas or corals to be fair.

I'm fairly new to the Saltwater world (10 months, unless dreaming about a saltwater aquarium for 20 years counts). I'm starting to learn that there is a different language. Here are some words I have learned: Nem- anemone Zoo/Zoa-Zoanthid those pretty little polyp thingies BRS-bulk reef supply Vortech- just say this word and watch grown men's eyes glaze over in a dreamy sort of state(drooler) Seaswirl-see Vortech Fowlr-fish only tank with live rock Monti-short for montipora a type of hard coral Acro-short for acropora same as monti Put it all together and then you will sound like a reefer: Dude I would be willing to trade my Zoos , montis and acros, since I'm starting a FOWLR tank would anyone be willing to trade for a Vortech?(plotting) (not really by the way... so don't pm me this is just an example)

When the biggest tank you can fit in the basement is a 150 gallon and you think you are done but then 2 months later you buy another 150 gallon tank for the basement!

Wow you guys are like sharks ready to have a feeding frenzy on this tank.(hungry) Have you tried craigslist yet Katz?

PM about 40 lbs of live rock.

I agree ice dancing is really hard work. I actually know someone who used to be a professional ice dancer (which is why I didn't post this on facebook(whistle)) and they train as hard as the figure skaters do. The synchronized swimmers train very hard too. I'm sure it's also very hard work for the future pole dancers as well.(naughty) I just don't think it is a sport more than a show and find it highly annoying that it fills up so much of the Olympics. I enjoy watching Cirque de Soleil but I don't think that should be in the Olympics either but then again...they kinda of do pole dancing maneuvers don't they?(scratch)

I found it interesting that Jack appendix scar was on the complete opposite side of where his appendix would be. The writers research and are pretty accurate with the scientific facts, so I don't think it was a mistake. (Could be kinda like me watching the show expecting to have answers by the end.) The scar is a mirror image of where the real scar would be.

I would be interested in it. Pm sent.

How about here in this forum in the classified section or the wtt section? Be warned the people here like pictures! Sorry to hear you have to sell it.

I like the way you "posed" it with the kiddy cup? Did it come in a happy meal?

I would agree Tim is great. Great customer service. Beautiful corals! Shop is kind of tricky to find but well worth the trip!

I looked it up wanareef!:eek: You were not kidding. They are seriously considering adding pole dancing to the 2012 Olympics in London as an exhbition sport.(scary) :USA: USA! USA! We will win gold for sure!(rock2) Here's the link for anyone interested: http://www.nydailynews.com/lifestyle/2010/02/23/2010-02-23_pole_dancing_could_be_recognized_as_a_sport_and_headed_to_the_olympics_.html

Pole dancing as in strippers?
