Here are some that became ringed. I bought them as "blue zoas". Well they're not blue and they're growing on me lol. And my little purple hornet. It's getting bigger and more proud every day. It started the size of a toothpick lol.

TRPE! Bad Hair Day! lol

Beautiful fish!

The writing was on the wall. I knew Texas would pull this crap. I'm just glad the Pac 10 had the juevos to tell them where to put their network. Texas could help others profit so much and they would profit too, but they just don't want fair sharing. They want a monopoly on their conference. They own the Big 12 and the people that make the Big 12 policy. It's ridiculous.

I think Utah has a dance team. Does that count lol.

It would help Utah to at least have a stronger strength of schedule if they go undefeated and give them a chance at BCS. They have a strong ball club, but no one knows how strong because of their schedule.

That was one of the biggest reasons Nebraska wanted out of the Texas big 12. When Texas joined they have slowly changed the distribution of funds to where it's not equal and Texas gets the lions share of the big 12 money. This hasn't set well with any past Big 8 team. The big 10 is not going to give Nebraska an equal share either, but at least they will work them into an equal share over an extended period of time. That was never an option with Texas and the Big 12 and is one of the main reasons Nebraska left.

It'll be interesting. It seems like there is no loyalty anymore. It's all about the dollar.

Cool, now I just have to get Isaacs number to make an appointment and start looking up adresses for these others. Beth, I think it's mainly Kim that likes to make the suggestive comments lol. But I haven't met either of you yet so who knows. We did the train last time and it was fun. We've got the one year old this year so it will be interesting to see what he'll tolerate. He's used to the morning nap, then the afternoon nap etc. We may have cranky baby after noons. The park sounds cool. We may just have you give us a quick tour when we come to pick up the frags. If you had the time that is.

Anyone for Trades?

Hi all, the family and I are heading down to Portland this Thursday through Sunday and were wondering what advice we could get as far as what to do for fun while we're there. We would like to know the must visit saltwater stores of course and if there's an aquarium somewhere etc. We visited the zoo and the OMSI last year and had a good time. So any advice would be appreciated and keep it clean (Kim, Beth, Pollqueen whatever lol) since it is a family event. (laugh)

Nice pictures of a really nice tank. You've laid out things nicely.

I recently had my blue tang get white spots on him, kind of ich looking. I think it was because I added an anemone which took his buddy away (my maroon clown) and stressed him out. Anyways I watched him for a couple weeks and he's all good now. I never messed with him at all. I thought about a QT tank, but now that I think about it, that might have killed him off. He was depressed and just had to learn some coping skills lol.

Are you feeding every day Eric? I only feed twice a week to my corals and every other day to the fish.

Woot Woot, Giving it up for Jody!!

Thanks for the pics. The tank looks awesome!

I have a top fathom skimmer that was rockin when the pump went out and not it just sits there. Anyways, I need a 700gph pump if anyone has one laying around. Shoot me a pm if ya do.

Those look more like a paly than a zoa and I don't know if they have pe paly's, but heck I'm just learning as I go. They are nice looking though.

Ya gotta be quick to snag up a good deal huh? lol

I'll take it. Where are you located? I'm coming down to Portland next weekend. I've got some true red people eaters that I was going to offer up for sale or trade. I don't know if you would be interested in those or not.

I'm sure he's more than aware of the history and troubles surrounding the big 12 and how that all went down. So, that's a good thing at least.

The big 8 was evenly distributed until Texas joined and then they somehow negotiated their way to a bigger piece of the pie. I'm just saying that history says to be wary financially.

I'm the opposite. I'm looking forward to visiting the stores that sponsor this site because I want to show my appreciation.
