Petsmart selling
non-aquatic plants? 5/26/08
BOB - I used to get "regular" plants at Petsmart with no problems. Out of USA
for six months, now back - setting up again.
<Always an adventure>
Saw your previous feedback on the Petsmart "tube system" for selling plants (as
of 2006 I believe) as being OK in Europe for years. Well - that might have been
OK in 2006, but...
<Am out in Germany, now... at the end of the industry's largest trade show
(Interzoo)... and such plants are not sold from Europe (and Tropica, the
innovator is still going strong... even having moved last year), but the tube
system plants are still about in the US>
Just for fun got several at Petsmart I didn't recognize. Went to web for info
before planting as there is no information at all on the tubes. It turns out
that several I cannot even find using Latin or common names, but on various
websites there seems to be significant concern with Petsmart selling
terrestrials as aquarium plants - Kyoto Grass Plants (Ophiopogon Japonica) as
one of several examples. Umbrella Plant (Spatyphillum Wallisii) as another.
Actually I saw NO tube plants that I could even recognize except for an Amazon
Sword. I just assumed a Google search or an Aquarium Plants search would turn up
appropriate info that the TOPFIN company had been to lazy to supply and Petsmart
couldn't bother to detail. Now I suspect I know why - they are not "normal"
aquarium plants at all, or at least not for the average hobbyist. This is
bizarre...
<Mmm, the mass merchandisers do change their assortments... too often... and
most all of their buyers are decidedly NOT very aware aquarists>
The tube system seems excellent in concept and I don't object to that, but
selling unusual plants with no supplied recommendations from either TOPFIN or
Petsmart is BAD, then finding out that most seem to be not suitable for aquarium
use is even WORSE. Comments?
<Cave canem... no, wait... not beware of the dog, but let the buyer beware...
too many folks, big stores and independents, selling non aquatic plants... for
submersed use. Bob Fenner>

Wholesale Acrylic Tanks in North Carolina? 8/2/06
Hi guys,
<<Logan>>
I'm a long time reader of your site and I finally have a question for you that I
can't find in the FAQ's.
<<Alrighty>>
I own a LFS in Salisbury NC and am looking for a good wholesaler of acrylic
tanks, preferably in our region. Any recommendations?
<<Mmm, not off-hand. I am in Columbia SC and the stores here have "custom"
shops in Georgia provide their acrylic tanks "by special order". I don't think
any of them "carry" acrylic tanks as routine but for the smaller "nano" tanks,
if even then>>
Neither of my dry-goods wholesalers carry large acrylic tanks (anything over
20gl) and I need someone willing to work with a small outfit like mine. I just
can't afford 20-30 large tanks, let alone have space to store them.
<<Yes, I can see where that would be a problem. Have you considered a custom
fabricator? ...would this fill your need?>>
I'm looking for some decent sized ones, but not overwhelming, say 50-250gl
range. Any leads on a wholesaler that would allow us to purchase say 2-6 tanks
a month?
<<They're not in your region, and this may be a path it sounds like you've
already pursued, but have you tried contacting Tenecor in Phoenix AZ to see if
you can become a dealer for their acrylic tanks? Or maybe even just "sell" to
you wholesale?>>
Also, anyone asking me for the past 4 years about where to go for online info
I've directed to this site, you guys are the best.
<<Thank you for the kind words>>
Thanx muchachos!
E. Logan Bentley
<<Logan, I'll likely see one of the LFS owners here in the next couple days and
I can ask if they know of a wholesaler in your area who will work with small
operations. If you're interested, just send back a reply to this email letting
me know and I'll get back to you this weekend. Regards, Eric Russell>>
LFS, books - 2/4/2006
Thanks for your advice Bob; we really appreciate it. Next time I see my LFS
manager, I'll ask him why they don't have your book!
<Thank you. Most shops don't carry any to many books... a shame. BobF>
Aqua C in the UK
Morning Crew,
<Henry>
Quick question, I want to change my skimmer from a Red Sea to an Aqua C based
on the poor performance of the Red Sea and the good reviews/info on this site
regarding Aqua C Products.
I live in the UK and can't find a UK distributor of Aqua C products, I have
mailed Aqua C themselves a few times but got no response. I'll even settle for
ordering online.
Any clues as to a UK distributor of Aqua C products?
Thanks
John
<I don't... but have cc'ed a friend at TMC re (Jayne, please forward this
message to Paul West if you would), and Jason Kim (owner and manager of AquaC)
in the hopes of not only a solution directly, but the urging of a liaison
between their businesses. Bob Fenner>
Activated carbon
Hi,
<Gary>
I distribute bulk quantities of activated carbon for industrial applications and
am looking into distributing a line of activated carbon for aquarium
applications. I would like to sell bulk quantities of 20 lbs minimum to 100++
lbs per order.
<I'll bet you would>
If I go ahead with selling activated carbon for aquarium applications, would you
like me to notify you of my ebay auctions?
<Nope>
So that I can best serve the market, I would appreciate any information that you
may be able to provide on the questions below.
- Do you sell activated carbon?
- Do you use activated carbon?
- Who do you purchase from?
- How much do you purchase per year?
- What brand/type/specification is the carbon?
- What size packages do you sell or use?
- Do you or would you repackage carbon for sale to your customers?
- Do you provide service/maintenance programs to aquarium owners?
- Can you refer me to any other companies that might have the need for activated
carbon in bulk quantities?
I appreciate your help.
Regards,
Gary Robinson
<Gary, we don't sell activated carbon, but many of the folks who peruse our site
(about 14k per day) do. If you have a site/URL, do send this along... if you
offer activated carbon of use to marine and freshwater aquarist use. Bob Fenner>

Koi Pond Business - 8/14/03
Hello,
<cheers>
I'm seeking information regarding manufactures who build in ground
plastic pond designs. I'm seeking to start a business in breeding, selling and
landscaping ponds.
<please be sure to navigate and read the many many pages and links we have on
aquatic business starting from the home page www.wetwebmedia.com>
I've been having trouble locating manufactures who build these plastic ponds
(they produce many different styles). I'm also seeking information on
manufactures that produce tanks to raise Koi fish. Any help would be
appreciated. Anthony Hastings
<your best one stop shop for this information would be a trade journal. Do seek
a subscription to Pet Business or Pet Age/Pet Supplies marketing magazines. Also
you might joint the industry organization PIJAC. These outlets will supply you
with directories and indices of manufacturers and suppliers as well as
announcements of the trade shows that you will need to start attending to get
into the loop. Best of luck! Anthony>

Ken & Carl with ECO-Aqualizer
Dear Bob,
Thanks for the quick reply. Hope the 22 hour drive to
Cali wasn't too bad.
<Actually a bit longer... another roadside repair, sigh...>
Once again I (Ken) am happy that
we had a chance to meet. We are currently preparing
ourselves for whatever may come next in this
"adventure" of ours.
<How exciting!>
We have been talking with Tullio
Dell Aquila and he is interested in manufacturing our
product and helping us establish contracts with
distributors, he supposedly has connections with (Dr.
Fosters/Smith and Royal). However I'm not sure we want
to be locked into dealing with his distributors this
early in the game.
<Actually... very prudent to start making all important contacts... including
with your bank, lending association. Do ask about re who pays on time...>
Also we recently discovered that he
is closely associated with Mark Weiss and question
whether or not we want to be tied with his "prune
juice".
<You're wise here>
As snaky as Tullio is it is a tempting offer
to be so quickly and easily set up with national
distributors, if he is all that and a bag of chips.
<Well put. Again, I don't know him or his co. at all.>
Well we will be talking to you soon. Once again thanks
for your support.
<Glad to help. Bob Fenner>
Regards,
Ken & Carl
Ken & Carl with ECO-Aqualizer
Dear Bob,
Just wanted to say it was an honor to meet you at the
MACNA convention. We had a great time and enjoyed all
aspects of the enthusiasm with all the hobbyists. It
was a very good learning experience for our new company.
<Indeed. A pleasure>
We were especially delighted that you found the
ECO-Aqualizer an interesting and exciting concept.
With our 3 years of research and 1.5 years of testing
we have found very quantifiable results and feel very
confident that we are onto to something. But being new
to the business aspect of the hobby instead of just
obsessive hobbyists, we are very concerned about doing
business the right way and not getting screwed over
with our marketing and distribution channels.
<You are right to be concerned here... the pet-fish industry is "a bit strange"
in what works promotion-wise>
I guess we are writing to ask if you would like to be
our MENTOR. We were both very impressed with your
realism and your knowledge with the overall industry.
Your website is incredibly informative and we hope that
you can help lead us into the right direction.
<I will gladly help you in what ways I can, may>
At the convention, we were able to make a lot of
contacts, and many experts like Prof. Yehuda, Eric
Borneman, and Prof. Sanjay Joshi, and his colleagues
are currently testing our product to obtain objective
results.
<Good choices>
Many others are also in this process. But
honestly, we were hit up hard by a few
manufacturers/distributors and feel that
your expert advice would be one that we would most
welcome. We hope to establish a good rapport with
yourself and most definitely would love to take you up
on a dive expedition in the future.
<Okay on all counts>
I don't want to make this a long and boring email, so
in ending, I would love to hear back from you at your
convenience. I can be reached at 713-780-4045 or
713-412-4494 or info@ecoaqualizer.com
<Please feel free to contact me at your leisure. The Net is best, but calls are
okay as well>
Best Regards and Happy Diving,

Re: Cool Corals Products: Reef Secure Trial Follow up..
Hey Bob, Just checking in with you again to see if you or Maurice have
had a chance to test out our product or if you needed any more.
<Will check with Maurice re. Sorry for the ongoing delay. Will cc your message
here to Anthony Calfo, friend and coral culturist/writer to see if he has time,
interest>
We have the
advertisement placed in FAMA now and should be in the JULY issue.
<Mmm, not the best time of year... do extend the listing for another couple of

We have
lots of distributors and stores now carrying this product. We are having a
tremendous response and everyone thinks this is a great product. I am
looking forward to hearing what your thoughts are on this too. Thanks again
for taking the time to test our product.
PS-We will soon be releasing our next products to the market and we will be
sure to inform you of those ASAP.
<Real good. Chat with you soon. Bob Fenner>
Dear Bob,
This is Brad Kretzmeier, with Cool Corals Products. We have recently
contacted you regarding a new mineral supplement we had released.
<Yes, thank you Brad. Did receive, read over the materials... Sorry to have
not responded as of yet, and have not tried the product. Am going to be away
for quite a bit so am entrusting a close friend, Maurice Bullock who is in
the trade, and the prez of the local marine hobby grp... point is he is
honest, competent and has "tested" products in the past>
I believe
that you should have the information, pricing, and a sample by now. I am
just following up to see if you have any further questions or information
you
might require. Also, a quick check to see what your thoughts are on the
product at this point. Thank you for taking the time to test out our new
product. I should be chatting on your site soon, we have been busy with a
few new items for the industry that have been keeping us tied up. Hope to
see you there.

Aquarium Stands
Hello again,
Just wondering what your recommendation was as to the best solid wood (
i.e., poplar, oak, etc.) stand and canopy product line for aquariums.
The All Glass Modern Series is nice, but you cannot mount a retrofit
lighting kit in their hood, so they aren't going to cut it. What's your
suggestion?
makes a nice line of stand and canopies. You may get some good ideas from
looking at their models.>

Hello again,
Just wondering what your recommendation was as to the best solid wood ( i.e.,
poplar, oak, etc.) stand and canopy product line for aquariums.
<Popular is good for painting. Oak and Maple take stain well.>

kit in their hood, so they aren't going to cut it. What's your suggestion?

Do you know anyone that makes 20-100 gallon aquariums that I could contact to
ask a few questions about how a commercial shop is set up? I am not as
interested in the large custom ones now.

Todd
Missing Eheim parts, other troubles with the new tanks...
Todd, Daniel, very surprising from Eheim... but one of the two new Eheim
Specialty Aquarium hood units has the same extrusion piece for the back panel as
the front... very easy to see the dissimilarity in the piece/match with the
front on the other tank top... And in the same mis-matched box was a power
screwdriver(!) from Germany... still working... Todd.G took it with him. Will
ask him to forward it to you... Any identifying marks, serials on the gear I
should fwd. as well?
There were two packages (inserts) also missing from the one "bad" hood box
versus the "good" (complete one). The six (23, 25mm) screws and a packet with
green "U" tubes, other black/grey parts... Will ask Todd if it makes more sense
to just switch the one complete hood box with parts (hopefully) for the one
delivered last night.
Also, on your site: http://www.eheim.com/, "Beachwood" s/b "beechwood" no
doubt.
Per your rep.s visiting S. Calif. the first two weeks of February, have them
contact me (858-549-4948) in advance and I'll gladly aid them in developing a
visit strategy or take them about w/ or w/o Todd.Gs crew
Be chatting, seeing you. Bob Fenner>
Eheims offer on their tank divider set-ups
Todder... are you familiar with the above? Daniel.S said their pro III
filter is currently included with the art-deco product... if the cost for the
delivered units is close to the room-divider with the filter, would like to
consider trading them. Bob F
Euro Reef 6-1 skimmer (e auction purchase... suspicious)
I wanted to get your opinion on something. I made a bid on E-Bay
for a EuroReef skimmer. The seller claims to own a video store and to
be a hobbyist that decided to try and run a saltwater specialty shop,
too. He got over his head (who would have thought it!) and needs to
clear out the inventory. He has made me an offer to take 25 EuroReef CS
6-1 skimmers off of his hands.
<What? Very suspicious... would check with Jeff and dad re this person... not
likely there is such a standing inventory anywhere like this... sounds too
likely like a scam to me>
My hesitation is in the price. It
sounds to good to be true, $XXXX each which includes shipping. I checked
out his user profile on E-Bay. He has 82 positive responses from 64
unique users with no neutral or negative responses. Most sales are for
video stuff, but I did see some aquarium related gear. He has a lot of
sales of bulk aquarium items now, so it seems his liquidation story
checks out. Basically, I am looking for other angles to double check.
<Contact Euro-Reef: http://www.euro-reef.com/ (their site wouldn't come up... or
else I'd be cc'ing Jeff>
I want an invoice with business name, address, phone, and owner's name
spelling out exactly what I am purchasing before I would send him my
credit card information.
<Smart... don't do anything till you check with the manufacturer>
I am also going to check with American Express
as to what kind of protection I have with them. Do you have any contact
info for EuroReef?
<Yes>
Your link does not work.
<I noticed... let's see, where is their ad in FAMA? Argghhh, it's the same URL!>
I was thinking of
contacting them and asking if they ever heard of this guy. He claims to
buy direct from them, so someone there should recognize him. Below is
all of the correspondence to date.
Thank You,
Steven Pro
P.S. You may not want to post this on your FAQ's as exact prices are
involved or block them out somehow.

Re: Commercial fish food production, sales, distribution...
Bob
I was talking to this ex colleague of mine about harvesting the algae from the
Dolphin Lagoon and local waters and turning them into some sort of fish food
like the Tetra flakes that sell so well in Singapore. The EDB has this scheme
whereby they will co invest in start ups together with third party investors. I
hope you got the link that I sent you earlier to update you on this grant. For a
start we are hoping to sell it in the local market first. After all Singapore
produces about 30% of the world's supply of fresh water tropical fishes at last
count.
<The fish food industry is very crowded Perry... it will take you years to turn
a profit... but it can be done>
This is a knowledge intensive business and the EDB would look upon it
favourably. My brother reckoned that getting the funds should not be the
difficult part. Turning raw products into something that can sell is the
challenge. He tried and failed -trying to sell waste and leftover tapioca
products from his tapioca chip processing farm to Malaysian pig farmers. He
thinks that it will not be easy to fight someone as big as Tetra. Remember
Netscape versus Microsoft?
<Yes... they're not in the fish food biz>
My friend Jason thinks that we need someone with extensive knowledge of the
trade to win the EDB technocrats over. You are the only one I know who fits the
bill.
<Mmm, well, actually I can direct you to folks who know the field>
By the way can any sort of Algae be processed into fish food?
<No... only certain species raised properly have nutritional merit>
The algae that I see in Singapore resembles long thick strands of hair. Do you
have any idea about the manufacturing process involved in turning raw algae into
something palatable for our beloved tropical fishes?
<Please have a local college lab do a work up... the species, caloric (bomb
calorimetry is fine), nutritional content... Bob Fenner>
