The discussion(s) have been about me setting up my 200gal. again. The doesn't include the other 6 tanks I have in the garage, that range in size from 75 to 210.
You've seen me on this forum for how long??...I'm not gonna go and do something if I don't know what I'm doin'.
Let's not hijack this thread with unrelated conversation.

If I were to buy a pair, I'd definately set up another tank. My only problem is that these fish haven't been seen in the states in what...over 10 years? There's no info about them, anywhere...no one to ask, that has experiance keeping them, etc.
I'd be afaid that if I got a pair, I'd end up with two males or two females and then would have a constant Royal Rumble in my tank.
You'd think that a good business, who has someone wanting to drop hundreds of dollars, on two fish, would be more receptive and email someone back. I still haven't heard anything so I may not be getting anything. Seems that the big influx of these fish, in the past few weeks/month, has been to either the East Coast or West Coast. Us unworthy Mid-Westerners never see the good fish.
I even got on the phone and called up all of my friends in Chicago, who own fish stores and they had no clue what I was talking about. One store had one, that they were selling for over $1500...just rediculous. Those of you that know the Chicago stores will know exactly which one I'm talking about.
I get my wholesale list tomorrow, at my store and I'm hoping they're on there, but I doubt it.

Not trying, in any way, to be "almighty", as you put it. Your contributions to the board, which include nothing but rude jabs at certain people, to get a rise out of them are useless. If you're looking for fight, you wont find it here, my friend.

Did Old Town drop their price? That's the store I was talking about, that was selling for $1500.
I can't help but laugh every time I'm in there and see people shelling out $20 - $25 for Damsels/Chromis.

No problem. No harm, no foul.
Whenever someone refers to me as "all knowing", etc, I'm the first person to say that I don't know everything and that I'm still learning. Some guy actually just called me "The Godfather", the other day. While I find the compliments flattering and truly do appreciate them, I don't want people to think that I'm stuck on myself or that I think I know it all.
I haven't been in the hobby long (less than 5 years), but I've completely thrown myself into it. I've had work in public aquariums, opened a fish store and read/research everything I can find. I also have a pending position to head/work at a new research facility, that Sea World (Orlando) is building in Florida. I'll be responsible for not only marines fish, but also for a Manatee and Sea Turtle rescue program.
I'm an aggressive fish guy. I know very little about corals/reef tanks. I don't know the difference between SPS and LPS, etc. So, I make sure I only give advice about things I know about.

Also, I had other things I needed to get...but ended up spending the money I was going to spend on the fish on drinking, one weekend.
