Rich, at this point if you can remember Melev and type it in
Google, my site comes up pretty close to the top of the list.

Hey, I just checked, and it was the first link you get! And
my 280g thread on Reef Central was the fourth link. That is
really cool!

I don't see the issue. I actually saw two cold-water tanks at MACNA this
year, and posted some images of those on my MACNA page.

Look on the Aquariums page.

While r.a.m.r. is an outstanding resource for general information as
well as reef specific material it has no mandate to deal with the
special challenges of keeping temperate and cold water species.

What about news:rec.aquaria.marine ?
Isn't it a good place for such discussions ?


Hi Pszemol,

I subscribe to rec.aquaria.marine.reefs & rec.aquaria.marine.misc and
have for some time (several years on r.a.m.r). I'm a recent subscriber to
rec.aquaria.marine.tech. In my memory none of those fora have had threads
concerning cold water aquarium keeping. My server doesn't seem to carry
rec.aquaria.marine so I just did a Google search of the
rec.aquaria.marine hierarchy on the following terms: cold, temperate, &
"cold water" - there were zero relevant hits. I then did a Google
searches on Anthopleura & Metridium which are the genus names for the two
of the most common anemones in cold water environs. [Anthopleura are
mainly North Pacific species while Metridium is pretty much everywhere
the water is cold.] This time I got a total of 12 hits but virtually none
of them were really concerned with cold water aquarium keeping and the
most recent was more than two years old. BTW: All 12 hits were from
r.a.m.r. The only other cold water related thread that I can recall is
one from about a year and a half ago (also on r.a.m.r.) in which you
inquired about putting the quasi cold water species Crassostrea gigas
(Pacific Oyster) into a tropical tank; how did that work out?

FWIW: In looking at rec.aquaria.marine via Google it appears to be a
pretty inactive group with a low signal to noise(spam) ratio.

So, what this tells me is that, while it might be nice to have such
discussions on an existing newsgroup, coldwater aquariums are not
presently a part of the conversation. Further, the Coldwaterfish list
has, as I mentioned earlier, been in existence for four years now; hardly
what you'd call a 'Johnny come lately'!

In any case, if you prefer to discuss cold water husbandry on one of the
existing newsgroups, please do so. I never intended to coerce you or
anyone else to join our list, but merely to inform you of its existence.

BTW: I should have mentioned this in my earlier post but forgot. As
configured, membership in Coldwaterfish is subject to prior approval by
the list owner. It's just a routine process to help keep the spammers at
bay but it does cause a delay between when you sign up and when you're
able to post.

Since I've sort of broken my promise about not promoting the list for at
least a month by posting this message, I will now shut the h*ll up for at
least two months.


Defensively yours,

TPG
