I called Ron's store and I think I am going to get about 15 or 20 lbs of
live rock and some live sand from ron. I hope this will take care of
it. I just have to wait a month or so until I can get enough money
together.

LEAVING THE LIST
================
To stop receiving messages you will need to send a message to
[EMAIL PROTECTED] with a command to remove you from the list. The list
manager controls who belongs to the list.
For example:
--------------------------------------------------------------
From: John Doe <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Subject: <not needed>
UNSUBSCRIBE
--------------------------------------------------------------
