Thanks for the welcome, everyone.

I got to interact with such a wide range of creatures on a daily basis that I didn't feel the need to bring so many of them home. (Alligators, boas, pythons, electric eel, large oscars, kinkajou, squirrel monkeys, large birds, etc.)

Wow. That must have been one hell of a pet shop!

Let me know if you find beautiful 'eileen'.

Hey eccentro. You got it. Oh, and I spoke with the one guy that had it, but he unfortunately didn't have any cuttings available.

Hey there.  I've operated quite a few freshwater tanks.  Never did a salt water one though.  I suspect the same is true for salt water though, the bigger the tank, the easier it is to balance the water quality.-G-

The same is true for saltwater tanks. The greater the volume of water, the more stable parameters tend to be. I think generally though, that reef tanks are much less forgiving than their freshwater counterparts (nitrates/ammonia always have to be at undetectable levels, calcium and alkalinity must always be monitored, etc).

An interesting anecdote indeed. The historical back-story behind it adds something a little extra to it, at least in my opinion.

eccentro, I hope you don't mind if I step in here too, since I'm also looking for 'Lumberjack.' Oh, and thanks again for the PM earlier, by the way!

JRL, if you happen to have any more spare cuttings after your deal with eccentro, please let me know! I'd love to get my hands on one.

Hey Everyone,

I thought I'd introduce myself and say hello since I'm new to the forum.

Um... so a little about myself: I've always been interested in wildlife and plant life; I've kept a reef aquarium for a few years (very expensive hobby, by the way), and now keep carnivorous plants. I've recently taken an interest in cacti and succulents. I currently—and sadly—don't have any cacti under my care yet, but I hope to be able to procure some Lithops sp. and T. bridgesii specimens to start a collection of my own very soon.

Speaking of which, I'm on the hunt for the following bridgesii: Lumberjack, f. Monstrose clone B (clumping), and f. Monstrose/Crestate. So if anyone can lead me in the right direction for any of the above, please let me know!

Anyway, thanks for having me.
