These are the live rocks that come with the divesity specials! From:"Joel Weis" Date: 12/22 Mon PM 07:19:05 ESTFrom:"Joel Weis" Subject: Janitor Pack saved our tank In March, I broke down and bought 250 tank janitors for my 125 gallon. Prior to the janitors I had tried stepping up the filtration, and increased water changes, but the green hair algae was out of control. I threw in a lawnmower blenny, sailfin tang, reduced the lighting, and reduced the phosphates. Nothing worked, and I was at the end of the rope. I pulled out half of the algae covered rock, thinking that the reduced surface area would help. At this point nothing worked, and I was ready to break the tank down and quit, Out of desperation, I pulled all but 3 of the remaining rocks out of the tank, and pressure washed them in the driveway, and threw them back in. ( I realize this is not a recommended procedure), I noticed that even that didn't work, as the algae was starting to grow back. My brother recommended a janitor pack, so I bought 250 snails, crabs, etc. It has been 10 months, and the tank has been algae free. I highly recommend to everyone, just buy the janitors first, and save yourself the headache, I did notice the janitors were more successful with the algae that was less than 1/2 inch tall. Thank You Leroy for your awesome solution to this 2 year long battle, and saving our tank. P.S. the Grunge was a nice surprise, it's great stuff. * Remember to ask leroy and you can get two pounds of free Garf Grunge ® with all orders. * This week you also get a Macro algae order for free with your Grunge:) YOU JUST HAVE TO ASK.

Salt water algae eating Sailfin Mollies I am absolutely excited to introduce one of our newest, hardest working and delightful to watch janitors. Our Mollies have been in our saltwater systems for over 2 years now, and there is not one spot of algae in any one of our tanks. Matching the Mollies and our existing janitor package works faster, longer and better then we could of dreamed of. I have now grown enough of these amazing salt water mollies to make them part of our newest janitor package, meaning that the mollies will be only 1.00 each. We recommend 1 Molly per every 5 gallons of tank water. Wow, its been quite a while since I have had the time to share my beautiful Xenia with everyone.

Hello, This is LeRoy I've been recovering from a stroke. I have several things to report, and most of them are positive. If during the last year you've called me and talked to me, and it seems like every time you call I don't remember that we've talked before, well that's probably because it was true. With my therapy and my new medications I'm doing much better. The doctor says I am going to continue to get better, but until I am all better Sally Jo is setting up a computer program to help me with my short-term memory problems. This problem with my helping you seems to have been when we had a problem with an order. I was trying to help, but I should have left the order in the system. I will now do that. If you have had a problem; I hope you will call me again. I promise to get the information to Sally Jo. 1-800-600-6163 We are so excited to share with you some new ways to make Aragocrete sculptures.

That just means that they know there is now a demand for rock that will help save the wild reefs. It is nice to have their company, because for most of the last 15 years it has seemed that Sally Jo and I have been standing on own front porch yelling into the dark.

As soon as the janitors hit the tank floor they were off and running they have removed all the algae from my tank, I am having to swap live rock from my other tank just so they have algae to feed on. They are definitely worth the price and the Grunge is awesome. I currently am doing aquarium maintenance at the local community college which consists of a 120 gallon reef tank and I also propagate and clean tanks at the local pet store in town here. I have started to make man made rock from G.A.R.F's instructions which seems to work very well especially since I really want to keep the live rock where it belongs on the reef in the ocean. I feel that we all can make a impact for the better on our oceans no matter how small or big it all really does matter, it is a proven fact through the research being done at G.A.R.F that there are plenty of ways to have quality man made live rock that is as good if not better than robbing our reefs and not to mention without any risk of nuisance algae or pests. Thanks for all you and Sally Joe do for the hobby if you ever come to Lexington North Carolina please look me up it would be an honor to meet you.

M. and D. to leroy show details Apr 21 (3 days ago) HI! I just wanted to strongly recommend GARF products as a whole, the price and education you guys offer are Unmatched, and your quality always exceeds my expectations. I had originally been concerned as I live in Alaska, but Leroy has gone out of His way to accommodate me and with a little patience we were able to make it work. I wanted to personaly thank you, and sally Joe, for all the work you guys do it's incredible. Leroy has also taken time to talk with me addressing any concern I might have, I also will be trying out a experiment as in the summer we have a 20 hour light cycle with low temps wondering if this would create ideal growing conditions for coralline algae. Leroy has been a Blessing to me and their customer service is unmatched by any competitor! I recommend GARF over anyone or any other product thank you so much for all that you do for us and our earth!!!!!!!!! David Wasilla ALASKA
