| Hello, This is LeRoy. It is November 29.
I am happy to have the site up and running again. If you have sent any e-mail lately; please send them again so we can help you. During the next semester we will be reporting on some of the newest research we are doing on the domestication of corals. This research deals with the process we have developed to speed up the recombination of the internal colonies of symbiotic organisms in corals.
 THIS WEEK WE HAVE REPEATED THE FREE OFFER THAT WAS VERY POPULAR LAST SEMESTER. WHILE THE SUPPLY LASTS YOU WILL RECIEVE A BAG OF MIXED MACRO ALGAE AND OUR RARE BLACK SPONGE WITH ANY ORDER - CALL 1-800-600-6163.
Coral Farming 2000 was a screaming success! GARF hopes to promote captive growing of all the needed animals for a healthy reef aquarium. We can have a marine aquarium hobby that we can all be proud of if we share all of the methods that we learn while we research small scale coral farming. Dr. Douglas Lake, the cancer research doctor, gave us an interesting update on the cancer research. We were amazed at his progress! Dr. Lake has a student who is writing the Sarcophyton research up as a senior term paper. We will soon be sending some more soft corals to the University of Arizona.

| We have already been able to send the first donation of free soft corals to help with cancer research. Dr. Lake told us about the first results he has had in testing the Sarcophytons GARF has donated to his cancer research project. He has been able to extract chemicals from the corals that are able to slow the growth of several types of cancer. We have had many calls from people who want to trade corals. We are setting up five trades each week. If you have called we want to thank you, we will be setting up a date to ship your corals soon. |

We are collecting both hard and soft corals, and we have many varieties of colored mushrooms. We are now importing many species of SPS corals, zoanthids, xenia, and anthelia. We purchase, trade, and sell these specimens. We have been working with Super Glue as a bonding agent for attaching invertebrates to substrate. We use a system called the BULLET PROOF REEF . This simple system is set up in a standard 55 gallon aquarium. The key to our success is the Aquarium Products lights. We use one Blue Moon 4'- 40 watt and two Triton 4'- 40 watt lights. We cover these three lights with a Triton Enhancer. These bulbs are twice as bright as other 40 watt bulbs. The water is circulated by one Gemini pump. We use a SeaClone Skimmer in each tank. Each tank has a 250 watt heater. |

Delivered-To: algae-garf-LEROY@GARF.ORG Date: 22 Aug 2000 13:46:02 +0000 From: "Mark DeFrancisco" To: leroy@garf.org Subject: THANKS FOR EVERYTHING
Hello Leroy, I started out by purchasing some garf grunge and reef janitors. The janitors have completely cleaned my tank and are busy working every day. I had an algae bloom that I could not control, and now, in only a few weeks, it is not only gone, but the tank is spotless! The grunge is the most beautiful substrate I have ever seen! I have found numerous little corals and sponges growing in my tank, and I am experiencing a coraline algae bloom much faster than thought possible. Also, every experienced reef keeper that has seen my tank wants to know what the heck is that? Being used to seeing plain sand or crushed coral, they are delighted and mystified by the beauty! It has also added a level of stability and overall health to my tank that is amazing! Next, as you know, I have ordered a few shipments of corals from you. I can't believe how fast they grow, and how beautiful they are! This is of course in addition to the rare species that you offer. Never in a million years could I have found the rare and different corals you have sent me. The pet shop, or reef "experts" would never have most of these beautiful rarities! As a matter of fact, my local coral supplier has seen my tank and he cannot believe his eyes! He has told me that with over thirty years in the reef aquarium business, never has he seen such a beautiful tank! The "show" tank in his store is very pale by comparison! I have told him that thanks to some real professionals in Idaho, this type of tank could be a reality for anyone! I am sure he will order from you soon, as he is most jealous of my aquarium, and has to have some for his own! I will send you some pictures very soon. I am sure that you will agree, this is truly a beautiful, healthy, thriving, 90 gallon reef aquarium. I owe most of it to you and your staff! From grunge, janitors, magic reef dust, and your help in recommending food and additives, everything I followed from what you have suggested has helped my tank achieve more goals than I ever expected! THANKS AGAIN FOR EVERYTHING! I CANNOT WAIT TO RECEIVE MY NEXT ORDER, VERY SOON!
