Sin:
The mushrooms are purple with green spots on it. Someone told me the name of it but I'm not sure of it. I think it was Riccordia or something like that. Let me know if you're interested. I'm in Richmond all the time, I grew up in Kensington.

Yea I've been to the Hidden Reef. It was my second home. I say was, because there was a fire two doors away from the reef. The fire was in an upholstery store which had a basement full of fabrics. The firemen had to put the fire out 3 times. It kept reigniting. Anyway, there was so much water in the basement of the upholstery shop that it pulls the walls out collapsing the basment walls of the Hidden Reef also, causing the floor to collapse in the room to the right. The basement of the Hidden Reef was so full of water that it came all the way up to the top step. After the water wax pumped out, the firemen said they could see the fish flopping on the floor but nothing could be done because the tanks were all knocked over. Their website tells about the story. I cant put the link here so you'll have to go to Thehiddenreef dot com. I really was a nice place, nice fish and the best prices. They say they will reopen but I dont know where because the shopping center is supposedly going to be torn down.

Yes, I still need it. I couldn't find the thread where you said that you had the tank. Just to make sure it's the right size tank, what are the dimensions? I'm looking for a tank to fit under my display tank on the same stand. The base of it has to be 36x12. I think the height is 16. What is yours?

its a 30 long, I just stopped using it. I always used it for my auto topoff with kalk. I can clean it up and make arrangements with ya to do it. Maybe we can meet near Rt 70 and Rt 73 in Marlton. I go to the aquarium shop right there all the time
