 Lyndas comments First thank you so very much for the book. Winning your book was the only bright spot in my day. I looked at the pictures of your tank . you have a beautiful tank . The  night I signed in on your page I had been searching for some information on moorish idols . I want to find  out if any one has had any luck keeping them alive for longer than 8 or 9 months. I think they are beautiful and I would like to have some , but  I think they are better off in the ocean.I can not wait to get your book. Thanks again !     Lynda

 Name: Cris Welch
Coments : I have had my tank going about 12 months, before this i had a 75 for about 3 months and before
that i had a 30 gal that was fish only.  I have just bought about 85 pounds of live rock and purchased a large purple base anenome(6-9 inches wide most of the time, sometimes bigger and sometimes smaller.  I have found several dark red anenomes on the rock as well as a few small featherdusters.  What kind of anenomes are
those?  I have not been able to find them in any of my books(I have a ton of books-yes a book freak). I have a lot of skeleton coral in my tank as wall as the rock.  Totaling all of my rock and skeleton coral, i probably need atleast as much more as i already have in the tank.  $$$$ has been part of the reason I have not ventured
into the reef area before now.I have tried to talk to as many poeple in the area about reef keeping but have not really been real comfortable with what they have told me.  It seems that they all contradict eachother, which is not real cool when I am needing the "best" information now.  Htings like treating my water with calcium and other additives.  Knowing how and what to feed the anenomes. Things like that. I know what you are thinking.  I thought that someone should not get into something they know little about.  I had the opportunity to purchase some stock and rock from a public aquarium that closed due to lack of funding.  This was the Des Moines Aquarium Center. Their stock was great, and I feel like I paid pennies on the dollar for what I bought.  This is why I have finally jumped into the reef world.  I would appreciate any information or helpful tips you have.

Comments : After several years with FW tanks, I am now starting my first SW reef set-up.
Your web page has given me some outstanding advice.  As you know, reef systems are not cheap, so in order
to save some money to purchase more live rock, I'll try to win your book.  Well, it's back to scrubbing my new tank set-up algae bloom.

        Address: I have purchased and read your book.  I appreciate your desire to keep things simple and plan on
following many of your recommendations when I start my new tank.  In your book, you discuss a specific
supplier of live rock with whom you were very satisfied.  I understand why you did not publish any names, but I was wondering if you would be willing to email me this the company's name.  With so many mail order outfits advertising live rock, I would really appreciate using one that carried such a recommendation.  As I am living in a small town in the middle of the prairie, I have no choice but to use mail order for most of the items for my tanks. Thanks in advance.

Guest 76 *
Name: Frank Birdsong
Comments : I'm preparing to set up a 300+ gal acrylic reef tank and would like to find some guidelines on a couple of particular points of design.
1.  If I use a Jaubert sand and plenum type of system in conjunction with protein skimming,
    what minimum sand layer depths and plenum depth can I use and expect success?
2.  What guidelines can you offer on tank height? I'm considering between 24 and 29 inches of water depth. If I use live sand and plenum, the overall height dimension could get large.
    Do you have any strong recommendations about maximum tank heights?
BTW, I just purchased your book over the 800 phone number.
Good luck on your book sales. I look forward to reading it.
