Hey all...reposting this from my other thread--i'm doing a fishie open house to part out the items in my tank today 5-8 pm. items listed below--call (734) 845-6376 or e-mail triathlongeek@hotmail.com me if you need directions or have questions!
-leigh
$60 purple tang (it's been a rescue project so it still has some signs of HLLE, but is much improved and I'd be more than happy to give it's future owner my own personal recipe for success on hlle) (without the hlle this would easily be a $120 fish--and it really is nearly healed--it's a great fish--i'll be sad to sell it!)
one serpent star: $5
feather dusters: 1 cluster $10, individual $5, one in small rock $10
flame scallop: $5
leathers: varies by size--open to discussion on these
frogspawn frag: $20
rock--no price per pound--really best to discuss--most have some coral attached and i have no way to weigh them anyhow--but i'll be reasonable--or, I'll sell all the rock in the reef ~40 lbs left, which has some ricordia, gsp, feather dusters, a shroom or two and few leather frags attached to it for $175
sand--again, open to discussion since i can't weigh it anyhow
that's the run down...and yes, i'm in ann arbor...and please byo bucket!

lol tony, just make sure you invite me! (btw, on that note I just finished my scuba cert today :) ). If someone was trying to call me regarding this i seemed to be having some cell phone issues (with one particular number) that kept getting cut off. Whoever you are, I'm sorry. Anyhow, I've updated the list to reflect what's still available--please contact me if you're interested!

Hey, thanks Reefnut--mostly I've just found the reef to be more work than I have the energy for. If I could afford a sweet big tank then it'd rock, but for now I think i'm going to find me a lil something in the 20-30 gal range and keep my inverts--(is that odd that I'm more into giant hermit crabs than corals?) :) thanks for the concern though!

krunk, i might be interested, is the 20 a 20 long or high? i'm trying to stick to the 24 inch width...so i'm leaning to a 26 bowfront, but i might be swayed for a 20 high...

Er, I'd really rather not ship...too much hassle. I am however going home to the evanston area for this holiday weekend. Perhaps we could work out a meeting at some point?
and tyger15, I'm not exactly sure i follow your questions but i find a high carb diet the day before a long run or for a few days before a race (known as carb loading) works well. I'm also a fan of hyperhydrating (ie getting yourself very well hydrated for at least a day before a race). as you get into longer events these two become critical. a water bladder? you mean like running with a camelback? i've used them biking, not a fan of them running. I try to always design my long runs to go by waterfountains, malls, or other places with water readily available. for races any decent race has water stops every 1-2 miles depending on the race distance. for race morning i normally can physically only eat a powerbar. big races i'm all jitters until i get into the water at the start. i actually had one race where i couldn't hold down anything before the start and consequently had not so good a race (it was a long day). are you trying to run a marathon this month? if so you're rushing it. it's a bad idea to add more than a mile a week in distance. if you're running 5k's now, think about doing a late season 10 k, maybe try an early season half marathon next spring and then if you want and feel good go for a marathon next fall. (ps, is the 15 in your name your age? if so please please please talk to a doc before starting into distance running. 5-10k distances are normally fine but longer distances on young growing bodies can be very bad. i won't even begin to tell you horror stories from some of the girls on my old highschool team. so consult a doc--most races longer than a half marathon will require you to be 16 at least and more likely 18.) it's great that you're getting started so young though! and as for tops, really depends on the weather, i go from sports bra and shorts in this type of weather to layered coolmax long sleeve shirts, stretch pants and running sweats all layered in winter. see what makes you comfortable. hope that helps, if you have more questions you're always welcome to e-mail triathlongeek@hotmail.com :D -leigh
