Hello CRAP, looks like I'll be mail ordering my fish now!

Hello from Chicago Where did you ever find that picture, I have the original in the family archives. That's Gramp's (Stretch) Lehman in is hey day, circa 1937 showing the down payment for the cheese factory they soon purchased. Family lore states he spend his golden years out by Gresham and Steve.

Hello from Chicago Not gonn'a happen here, we only do group buy's for MAC fish...

Hello From Chicago I don't know what the average is, but I'd bet next months budget (aquarium) that it's not nearly enough....

Hello I'd wait for the M37 EYE ballasts as the are much better at powering up Iwasaki 65K bulbs. I have both ballasts (EYE, M58) and the Iwasaki's burn whiter with more PAR using the EYE37 set up. Iwasaki's are actually mercury vapor bulbs, and the M37 is the correct ballast to use (MV). The...

Hello IF this is directed toward me, I'm the one with all the power! Im just a lowly hobbiest of 30 years looking for some good fish...

Hello from Chicago We (you) may be working the problem backwords? Why does eveyone seem to think we need to get the price down on clean MO to compete with the crappy (juiced) fish supply? Does anybody know who collects, exports, and imports these fish and where do they end up? I can tell you...

Hello I still have that Sanders #350 skimmer I bought back in 78", Not a bad value for $22.00! Compared to (no skimmer) it work remarkedly well! Does any body remember? The Aquarist Supply Manual, by Daleco. That was when mail order was mail order. Back then you'd look through the catalog...

Hello Good idea Len, since you asked... It all started for me, with a 20 gallon aquarium that my older (5 years) brother abandoned when he found out about cars and girls! I found a little mom & pop pet store (Chicago NW side) 3 blocks from home and spent many an afternoon there asking many...

Hello Steve From my limited knowledge, they could be from anywhere in the Pacific Ocean ! 4 Orange spot file fish, 2 Moorish idols, 8 huge Green chromis, a couple of sailfin tangs Z, veliferum, toss in a few clowns (?) a trigger or two and a Half black anglefish. A real mix but nothing that...
