It's the fish!
Whatcanyedo,
When I first started keeping marines (way back in 1989 I think), there was no such thing live rock or skimmers avilable to the public. I had an undergravel filter and bleached coral skeleton. One Powder blue Surgeon, one Yellow Tang and 3 Blue Damsels. When I was cleaning the coral (bleaching it ..... yes I know everyone is cringing now, but back then it was Fish only and mechanical filtration, no corals). Anyway I lifted the coral and out fell these little "half moon" shaped shrimps. (Isopods I think) I immediately called the LFS and asked what to do. He replied that if I gave him a big bag of my sand, he's give me ANY fish in the shop. Apparently the eggs came in in one of the fish (I reckon PBS) and bred like wildfire! He was the first to set up live sand and actually sell these Iso's in Scotland apparently! Just a little anecdote ...... Kenny

Monthly bump. My LPS selection still pales in comparison to my SPS and softies because my frag tank is still pretty full and most of the LPS need time to grow before I can frag them again.
The 3 red bug treatments are complete and there are no more of the little buggers to be found. I haven't noticed much of an improvement in the colors of the previously infected corals but at least the polyps seem much larger. I've been hording shipping boxes and coolers from various livestock orders in town because in the spring I think I'm going to try shipping for the first time. However expect some of my asking prices to go up a little bit when that happens (supply and demand). I'll also start listing quantities available as I'm sure some coral will be more in demand than others and I cant produce a lot of volume at this time.

I was just accepted into a course that will keep me busy until March 28th. If I dont start work right away after that I'll be traveling down to Victoria for a couple of days but if I do start working I might not have much free time for a while... So, for people waiting and hoping for me to be making a spring delivery to the lower mainland that may not be happening. However I still plan to start shipping in the spring so I'll keep this thread up to date with information on that.
