Actually, that is why he is always broke. Just assuming Doug, nothing that was told to me I think he probably has to cut Kevin a cheque each month.

Thanks bye.....they are one of my faves too.....that why I put them way in the back of the tank.....so I can say to people ...."naw man....I cant frag those, they are way to hard to get to"......I dont know, most vendors seem to have clued in that zoas are hot and there are some serious zoaholics out there.....I dont think the market will dry up.....

working for Red Coral has its advantages......most of my coral has come from there, but not all of it.....in fact a lot of my "high end" sps has either been bought elsewhere or from canreef peeps.....most monthes I do get a paycheck from Kevin....Im not really that bad for taking stuff home....although in November my check for the month was $60......this is entirely because Im trying to stockpile things that I will need for the tank in E-town......Ive been buying things like rowaphos, epoxy and glue, carbon, salt, spare heaters etc, etc, etc....I feel more like a dealer when Im at the shop than a pimp, feeding the coral junkies fixes

For the big move to our town, would you need extra things like battery operated air pumps?? I've got quite a few of them (6+), so if you need them, lmk.
I also have extra small heaters, 10' (or is it 12'?)trailer for furniture and tanks. 6' diameter pool-style tub to put everything into until you got the tanks set up...
