Paul from Oceanic used to bring them in. Coral Master gets them in once in a while too, but it seems that they sell super fast. I know somebody that's selling some really nice Red ones and he ships across Canada. Send me a PM and I'll send you the info.

It seems that the full tank shots that I posted at the beginning of this thread are not working anymore. I can't fix this problem myself because we are not allowed to edit threads anymore. I am now forced to post these pics in the second page of my thread instead of having them in the very first post.

Amazing that you can keep your tank cleaner and healthier than the tank I have seen that runs with skimmer, and you do water change only every 2 months. Wow ... I wish I could do that too.

Wow this tank looks amazing! I love your rock flower anemone collection!

I do water changes every 2 to 3 months, and I use tap water.

Thanks, Rock Flower Anemones are my favorite anemones. They are beautiful, rarely wander around the tank and come in many different colors. Here is the latest addition. It was picked up today and with this one I know have 14 Rock flower Anemones

Gulp ... May I come to your place one day to listen to your lecture to learn how to do less water change ... and using tap water too ?

Amazing. What filtration is there? Looks like a shallow (very clean) sand bed. How often do you clean the glass?

Sure, I am sure we could work something out.

The main filtration for this set up is the liverock, nothing else is used. I believe the sandbed is about 1" deep and I clean the glass every day. It;s no needed to clean the glass everyday, but I like to do it anyway

I totally agree with you on this.
