The hope was that everyone would fill in the close ones, but I'm happy that at least one person remembered it. Thanks Kass.

What area are you looking in 2006? We're from a lot of different areas, some people are 2-3 hours away from others. There are some people from Appleton, Green Bay, Sheboygan, Waupun, Rhinelander, etc. so we have quite a range.

nellie,

probably an hour drive from green bay or appleton.

thanks

NO, IMO.

For Fish, Aquatic Imports is worth visiting. They just moved to a new store so we will see if the coral selection improves. Animal Adventure in Green Bay has greatly improved for corals.

Jeff finally moved! I'll go check it out this week.

Where is his new store. He was by Bamboos when I was last there.

[nellie54914]

the new building is just behind the old place

[BryanJ]

With a parking lot which is a bonus in itself.:lol:

[nellie54914]

that is a good thing, it was a pain in the butt to find a place to park at times!

Was just there today, really nice place looks like a real fishstore he has quite a selection now. I just don't know about him though he has some strange ideas. He told me today that its not a case of when your fish will get ick its a case of when. My tank has been up for two years now and I haven't had a case of ick (knock on wood) Do any of you have problems?

[nellie54914]

We just started up end of November, one of the fish we got in December is a blue tang, we've been tld they're ick magnets. Ours was fine until about 2 weeks ago it got ick. It went away in a few days, then came back again. But from what I've read that's usually the way it works I guess.

[mako56]

I have a blue tang too and sometimes you see a dot or two on him but it doesn't seem to last. Might be the cleaner shrimp or the neon golby.

[BryanJ]

Cleaner shrimp definitely make the difference. I had problems before I started keeping them. I also occasionally soak their food in garlic which is supposed to help boost the immune system. Since I have been doing these 2 things the most I ever see is the occasional questionable spot.

[nellie54914]

we have a cleaner shrimp and he cleans him occasionally, and we soak in garlic sometimes. Right now he has it really bad but he's still a pig!
