Hippiesmell, where have you been? We needed you last week in this saltwater fish extinction thread that turned into a semi global warming debate so ended up getting locked

Fish Filet · 08/28/2007, 08:42 PM

I wouldn't mind the skimmate so much if I could bathe in it with that chick in a red bathing suit

NanoGurl · 08/28/2007, 08:44 PM

Iron Maiden · 08/28/2007, 08:52 PM

Darkstar04 · 08/28/2007, 08:55 PM

Somewhere on that beach, above the foam level, there is a reefer laughing his head off.....

aquarius77 · 08/28/2007, 09:02 PM

Btboy2004 · 08/28/2007, 09:09 PM

Hormigaquatica · 08/28/2007, 09:23 PM

Looks like fun. Can you imagine how long you would have to shower to get the smell of skimmate off of you though??

Whistle blower though he may be, the man is a genius. Have you read his book?

yellowwatchmen · 08/28/2007, 09:34 PM

Thats gross. If it smelled nearly as bad as the skimate in our tanks i dont think they would stay there long.

I read his first one a couple of years ago, and finished his second book last week. Good stuff. I was just curious if you had any insight into what his book entails.

Good Lord, that's disgusting and amazing at the same time! That's one giant skimmer - I never realized that the ocean actually skims itself. I wonder who empties the collection cup?

LukFox · 08/29/2007, 12:40 AM

Amazing and gross!

It's funny to see people walking through ocean poop froth.

ahullsb · 08/29/2007, 03:12 PM

Ya and think of all the things those girls won't do...

I think it would have been amusing to tell them what they were really covered in.
