I tried to post this in the for sale forum but was blocked for some reason...I have posted here since 2003 so I don't know what the problem is, I have sold a bunch of stuff in the past.

Anyhow, I have 5 mangroves that are rooted in a small (half gatorade bottle) container with live sand that I want out of my sump. There are several snails in there also, some bigger ones that I am also giving away because I just want them out of the tank. All of it is free to whoever wants to come by and get them. I will be home all day tinkering with my tank and a racecar. Shoot me a message or just post here. I live near Huebner/babcock.

While I am at it, I also have a 32" Zenith TV in my garage that works fine and is just taking up space....you are welcome to that too for free if you would like it. It is a regular type TV (not flat screen sorry).

Is there any way you could hold me 1 till monday? I work close to there. My number is 210 438 7461 if you want to text me. I won't be back on here for a little while.

Moved to Trading forum. Selling became a charter member privilege roughly a year ago when the bylaws and TOU were corrected. Sorry for the confusion. Glad to see you back on MAAST

look at my join date....I was here on maast when most folks here were cutting there teeth on fresh water tanks and just farting around with salt tanks. It feels like I have been through a dang time machine, now everyone uses LEDs and controllers, metal halide seems "old school"......feels like I am in Back to The Future (reef tank edition). I guess now I need to kick in the 25 or 50 bucks or whatever it is to be an official contributer to maast. When I left there was so much participation that you could hardly keep track of your post over the course of a day....your post would be on like page 5 if people were not interested. Anyhow, Brian (greenmako), Hobogato (Ace), NaclH20 (steve), jim Morris (if some real old timers are here) somebody tell me where and how to donate my fee so I can be a full blown member. (paypal, credit card, limbs etc...). Glad to be back. My other hobbies will have to share my time now.

It's $25 and payments can be sent to our paypal address, mail, or at any meeting. I can't recall the paypal or address off the top of my head, but info can be found on our homepage. Hobogato is currently our President, Brian (our Admin) and Steve no longer have tanks. Jim hasn't been on in a while.

You're blowin my friggin mind man. Where are all the real old timers? I will send payment wherever is due. Is there anyone on here regularly that has been on for a long time? Not to say that people new to the hobby are not knowledgeable, I have been lurking and see that many on here have a lot of knowledge despite there maast join date, but for some reason it is still comforting to see some of the old farts that were here whenever I was most active. I assume the hobby has seen its fair share of ups and downs.....glad to be back, and get ready to see some pics of the rics I have that will give you an organsism, ha ha ha

duely noted. i guess in some fantasy world I thought I would come back to the hobby and everyone still be here, all aptasia and flatworm problems would be a thing of the past, a pill would be invented to kill alll hair algae and bad zoa eating nudibranch, and everyones tanks would be overgrown with highly sought after limited edition everything. What a bummer....hoped you guys would have all the quirks figured out! kidding of course

lsingh has an overgrown tank with LE corals but none of the other miracle cures have come to be thus far. Wish they would though. Lol

Yep, already been to Lucky's(lsingh). He has gorgeous stuff and I did not see any pests in his tank while I was there. Seems like Zeovit, LEDs, and extra attention have a heck of an impact on colors and health. Watch what that guy does and learn.....
