Gatortailale March 11, 2005 March 11, 2005 Howdy fish lovers! We are hiring! We are currently seeking a full time candidate for The Marine Scene. This is an entry level position with the intent of this person to train and develop into a managerial position. Our managers earn an excellent salary with paid vacation, 401K, company paid health plan, generous discounts and performance based bonuses. If you are interested in a fun, busy and educational work experience, don't hesitate to give us a call. If you would like to be considered please fax, e-mail or bring in your resume or work history. WHAT'S NEW? A new shipment of fish and coral have arrived including more Black and Gold Damsels and Starks Damsels. Both of these damsels have somewhat aggressive temperaments and are great for aggressive reef tanks or fish only tanks. Some really nice Pagoda ridge corals, Mushrooms, Zooanthids, Green Star Polyps and Long Tentacle Plate corals came in the other day. We also had a customer drop off some Xenia, so for those of you still interested in some nice Long Bar Xenia, make sure to stop on by and pick a piece up...they go fast! WHAT'S ON SALE? Visi Therm heaters are discounted further to 20% off (excludes 25watt). All Orbit PC light fixtures are still 10% off, so if you are looking for an easy, nice looking way to upgrade your lighting, check out our Current USA light fixtures. We are overstocked on leathers, so we are putting all of our leather corals at 20% off! For those of you who enjoy reading and learning more on taking care of a saltwater aquarium and its habitants pick up a new book, they are all 10% off! DID YOU KNOW? Did you know that you don't need to "gravel vac" your reef tank? In fact you may be doing more harm than good with a "gravel vac". Your sand bed has different layers which different levels of toxins accumulate and your micro-organisms feed off of. When you stir up the sand, you end up releasing trapped toxins which could cause your tank to become unstable or even crash your tank. Also, when you apply suction to the bottom of your tank, you are pulling out all sorts of important critters. Think of all the micro-organisms that are such an important part of your tank's ecology. Don't pour them down the drain with the dirty water, keep the good and dump the bad by siphoning out water from the top of the tank. If your sand bed has algae blooming on or in it there are a few different critters that can help clean the algae such as Nassarius and Cerith snails, Sand Sifting starfish, and even hermit crabs can help keep your sand bed looking nice and pretty. So remember, don't vacuum, let the critters take care of that. Hope to see you in this weekend!
