  1. Petition to List 83 Species of Corals as Threatened/Endanger

    Thales, You are exactly right. Thanks for the reply! You said exactly what I was trying to but screwed up the words. Indeed, Global Warming is a theory. Thanks for the clarification.
  2. Petition to List 83 Species of Corals as Threatened/Endanger

    This planet froze into a ball of ice more than once and the corals are still here. This is a fact. What is this Global Warming that people speak of? Is it a theory or is if fact?
  3. Time to move on

    Early line as follows: Moves on and never comes back: 50/1 Moves on briefly then returns: 30/1 Uses this issue as a crying out for support: 15/1 Drags this goodbye on for 10+ pages: 9/2 Is...

  6. California looks to restrict animal sales

    If California is short on electricity then I have a solution that could work out pretty well for them. The majority of the electricity in this country is the result of a simple steam cycle. Build a fire, boil water, capture the steam under pressure, blow it at a turbine generator and create...
  7. HR 669

    Dizzy, I'll wager a box of Flames that the bill doesn't make it out of committee :D As far as emissions are concerned I suppose that anything is possible. My backside is still chafed from the Clean Air Act of 1990, but that is off topic. Get me some Cruex please. Best regards,
  8. HR 669

    I really don't even see this making it out of committee. I am not saying that the bill isn't frightening but the economic impact will keep everyone on their toes, in my opinion, especially with the current economic situation. When one sits back and looks at the bill as a whole and considers...

  11. Hawaii Collection Bill

    When an individual with absolutely no knowledge or experience in the trade of marine ornamentals starts to comment in this forum it makes for very entertaining reading. Thats really all it is, entertainment, nothing else. Often times the moderators give great advice as how to approach these...
  12. Hawaii Collection Bill

    One could also ask what percentage collected in 2007 are dead. Do you have that data? If so, what evidence is there to support it? I agree with the statements that have been made with regards to the Moorish Idols from Hawaii being a good aquarium fish. They arrive in good shape, eat on the...
  13. Hybrid crocea/maximas

    The clams from Vietnam should be back soon as far as I can tell. Very soon. :D
  14. Whats up at PFO?

    I disagree with the last comment. I brought in a Euro-Reef and the comparable Octopus and ran them side by side in the same system for 60 days. Not only did the Euro-Reef outperform the Octopus but the quality of construction was quite a bit better. Having said that, the Octopus is a nice...

  16. Mary Middlebrook is a sales rep for SDC?

    Dizzy, Do you know what the current status is of Marine Specialties International? I think that was the name of her company but I am not sure.
  17. Banggai Update

    Peter, The former Galaxy Rasbora was reclassified and is now known as the Celestial Pearl Danio (Celestichthys margaritatus). It is still found in Myanmar but I would expect pressure from collection has subsided somewhat due to successful commercial breeding of the species. I don't know if...
  18. Banggai Update

    Very well said. I agree 100%. The numbers just don't add up.
