Hey John! Congrats on the new place. I'm back from my year on the [insert a-political name here] campaign, and I may be sniffing around to get back in the hobby. Of course your store will be my main source, especially since my gf lives in Ashburn. Hope all is well with the move. Best, -IM

Hello all... just a bump. The livestock and rock are all cleared out. However I'm going to re-post the tank setup (see above) for the next day or so. I'm hoping someone will see what a great price this is and grab this before the end of the weekend. I will consider parting out after that but frankly someone planning to upgrade should grab this. Best, -Ian

Grav, you'll never believe this, but when I went home last night, the junior (male) clown had jumped from my tank! It's really terrible. I think it's all the commotion and moving around I've done recently. There's someone coming by Wednesday night at 9 PM who put in for the rocks first, but is only 75% or so. I will put you in second... and if you'd like to come by then, you can follow up. If you buy the rock after all, I'll throw in the female clown, whose personality is AWESOME, and since you're moving tanks you can probably just replace the young clown. Please email me at ianindc@gmail.com with any feedback. -IM

No sir. I like all the remaining people but she's not my choice. Can I interest you in a fish tank? Bob, let me know if you want to come check out what I have... I feel bad about not having pictures but, you know, I'm not a camera man! Thanks, -Ian

Hello everyone. You may remember me, my name is Ian Martinez and I've been active in WAMAS for a while, though due to a major effort on a campaign I'm working with I haven't been as active recently... Due to an unexpected curveball related to the campaign I have to evacuate FAST. It's temporary but long enough to warrant breaking down my tank. Over the next weekend, particularly Saturday, I will be breaking down and selling my 75 gallon reef setup. This is a sad moment but sometimes life forces you to make decisions. I must move, so I must sell. Some things are spoken for but everything else is available. I will split into livestock, Live Rock and tank setup, but not part out at a deeper level. This equipment is the bomb, frankly, and would sell for at least double on the open market. I see this as an opportunity for someone conscientious to upgrade to a 75 at a really cheap price. I believe many reefers like Copps, Sam Brannen and John from BRK will vouch for me. The tank setup includes: 75 gal drilled (three overflows) display tank 29 gal sump 3 gal refugium Assorted PVC piping and multi-valve system (very sturdy and easy to break down/set up) Eheim 1260 return pump Eheim 1262 return pump SCWD alternator with tubing and nozzles Sea Swirl 3/4 inch Wave Maker Euroreef CS-5 Protien Skimmer Air Water Ice Typhoon II 5-piece RO/DI system JBJ Niveaumat auto topoff device 5 gal. food-grade trash bin for topoff Aquactinic TX5 5-bulb T5 model actinic lighting unit with bulbs only a few months old (maybe 3?). Small 30w fuge light Two 5-gallon water-change jugs Two 15-gallon food-grade water-change tubs Various assorted tank goods; scrapers, tests, high-end food, etc. Asking: $1000 85-100 pounds of live rock -- Whole range of sizes from small to massive. Much life, small stars, brimming with 'pods, a tiny bit of turf algae on one or two pieces but overall actually quite clear and well-encrusted. Asking: $200 A pair of oscellaris clowns, one non-stripe the other striped, asking $20 Countless Acros, some Acans, Zoanthids, a massive head of frogspawn, beautiful montis -- all at bargain basement prices. These prices are final but I think quite reasonable indeed. The one thing I would say is, if you want to buy it ALL I can give you a break. Thanks for understanding and rest assured, this pains me a great deal. You can get me at ianindc@gmail.com or 202.257.5945.

It's amazing how an ecosystem can truly adapt... if we give it enough time. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/7069933.stm

Looks like more than one person needs to put down the pipe. I personally am a Pastafarian and turn to the Flying Spaghetti Monster for the origins of life. Mogurnda, Carl Sagan has a really great depiction of the origins of life via cyanobacteria in his classic book Cosmos, if you're interested.

Ok, you've got one guy with a coralivore, another with a coral surplus.... http://www.wamas.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=15568 Lets get together, people of DC!!!

Hey now rrubberbandman, this is a FISH board, not a PHISH board.

When is the takedown?

There's booze, right?

In today's Times: http://www.nytimes.com/2007/05/22/science/...amp;oref=slogin I like the "ping pong sponge" the best.

Hey all- Just looking for advice here, but would people say floridapets.com is the best site for getting diverse pod populations? The ones in the bottles are the same 2 species and they're super expensive, and floridapets was a good experience when I was setting up my 29 gallon a few years ago. Any thoughts? Thanks, -Ian
