HI Guys, It's Tom White - owner of The Marine Scene here. You live and learn along the way and sometimes you come out on in an unexpected position. There was this dude that was going to buy my service business. We set aside numerous opportunities and dedicated a lot of our efforts to set this dude up to take over my service business to have a well respected, quality driven, results oriented service company which i had built up over the last 21 years. The dude blew it and is now running amok. For me and Tina, my wife, his removal allows us to find a buyer whom is focused on operating a dignified, respectable, and professional service company which in my book is the only way. I have clients going back 20 years. My business principals and dedication to quality is why I have excellent clientele. I am looking for a service company or person(s) with a solid financial position and a high level of integrity and self respect to buy me out. I would like to be free and clear by November of 2018. I recently had a new website made - www.customaquariumconcepts.com for the purpose of handing off the business. I am looking for someone that is trustworthy, doesn't do drugs, that has a high level of pride in their work, has dignity and self respect. I am more than happy to discuss details and am willing to work throughout the transition period for the right company or person(s). This is a great opportunity. tom@customaquariumconcepts.com

I think it was late 90's when I was working on the Marine Aquarium Council project. We did a tour of the Philippines and stopped in Hawaii on the way back. We visited a few collector operations and heard an interesting story. One of the companies which still operates out of LA had a collection operation on Kona. Imagine a highway running along the sea with the shoulders of that highway being black volcanic lava. This collectors crew had been out collecting yellow tangs and on the way back to the facility suffered a vehicle breakdown. There were a lot of yellow tangs in their "container". These guys somehow got back to the facility and grabbed another vehicle. When they got back to the broken down vehicle they found all of the fish to be dead. So they dumped a lot of dead yellow tangs onto the side of the road. Bright yellow on black. Really pissed off a lot of the islanders. That was then. Fish collecting was unpopular then and is now. Namely because the world is full of aquarists and the demand is high. Responsibility has to be placed somewhere.
