11/3/09 Link Request -- 11/22/09 Re: From The Reef Tank, link to place 1/27/2009 Hi Bob, <Ava> Just to explain again, The Reef Tank (http://www.thereeftank.com) is a forum and blog devoted as an outlet for saltwater hobbyists to discuss saltwater developments, corals, fish, ocean conservation, marine life, and more. <Ahh!> By contacting WetWebMedia, I was hoping for two things. One, I noticed that you have various types of "Aquatic" articles on the site and I was wondering if someone from your group would be interested in guest blogging for our site. You would be exposed to a community of almost 250,000 users a month. <I see> However, you wouldn't be able to use an article that was already written--we ask for original content only. <As do we... on our sites as well as e-zine...> Also, I was wondering if you'd be interested in doing a link exchange. You would put us on your General Links page in the Hobbies category and in turn, we would add you to our Resources page found here: http://www.thereeftank.com/links.html <I will gladly place said link.> Please let me know if you are interested in any of these possibilities. Thank you! Ava <And post your message for others response here. Thank you for your efforts. Bob Fenner> Aquatic Site Link Exchange 11/20/2008 Hi, We would very much like to do a link exchange with your site. We just need your banner info and we will place it on our website page here: http://www.finsdepot.com/links. <Ah, tis here: http://wetwebmedia.com/Banner%20Ad%20Matters/Banner%20Ad%20GIFs.htm> If you could kindly place us under your link category : * Retailers/E-tailers* ** We would appreciate it very much. Thanks! Stu *www.FinsDepot.com Where Customer Service And Taking Care of Your Fish Is Our Top Priority <Will do. Good luck in your business endeavours. Bob Fenner> Could you add our link to your links page? 06/06/2008 Dear Bob and Mike, I am a longtime visitor of WetWebMedia and started an aquarium related site myself I guess nearly two years back now. I was wondering if you wouldn't mind adding a link to it to your links page? It's the Aquarium Fish and Coral Reef Forum at http://www.fishforum.com Please let me know if you can add it, the folks who moderate the forum and I would really appreciate it! Thanks, Mike <I will gladly add your link. Thank you for your efforts. Bob Fenner>> > SeaQuest Marine Link Exchange Request - 04/21/08 I have enjoyed reading The Consensus Marine Aquarist for many years, and I recommend it to anyone interested in getting into the hobby or looking for a great reference book. I came across your web site today and found it very interesting with a wealth of information. I am currently creating a links page for our customers with links to sites with helpful information, and I would like to request a link exchange with your site. SeaQuestMarine.com (http://www.seaquestmarine.com) is an online supplier of quality aquarium supplies, and I would be very thankful if you were to add us to your list of Retailers/E-tailers. Thanks for your time, and thanks again for the education and awareness you have provided for this hobby. Regards, Jim Whitney http://www.seaquestmarine.com <Will post. Cheers, Bob Fenner> New "DIY" Business: http://www.ecoreeftechnologies.com Just wondering if you would possibly give me a plug for my new business. It is live on the web, but I have not tried advertising, as I am currently still preparing my inventory. I do not know if you are favorable to trying to make a 100% man made marine environment, or if you support DIY projects <I do indeed> to get those of us less financially fortunate into the hobby. These are my goals. Thus, the reason for my E-Book with DIY kits. I don't plan to get rich, nor do I plan to make this my full time job. But, I would like to help some folks get into the hobby at a reduced price and I would also love to see this hobby take the eco friendly path of not removing so much from the oceans and seas. Rather, try and use man made materials <Mmm, a necessary note here... there is not net zero impact to be had... the ingredients, energy to process, transport, retail... all take time, fuel, resource... with concomitant strain on the environment in general. My current fave example is folks in some tropical countries making base plugs for frags... with cement made from... coral, coral rock...> and captive bred species to further the hobby without expending the environment. Thus, the reason for my trademarked Eco Reef Rock. If the business does well, I may venture into raising captive fish and corals for sale. But, that would be far into the future. Have a look and see what you think. http://www.ecoreeftechnologies.com A link to your site is on my affiliations page. You provide some good information for the general public. Thanks for looking.<Neat concept. Will gladly post/share. Cheers, Bob Fenner>> link on your web site, SW info., products 1/30/08 Good day, My name is Patrice Lapointe from www.madcaptains.com I found your site the other week and really like the information in it. great job.

For this, I was wondering if you would accept to add a link to it on your website. Thank you for your time Best Regards Patrice Lapointe Mad Captain's Aquarium www.madcaptains.com <Will gladly do. Thank you for your efforts. Bob Fenner> Link Request 1/11/08 I was wondering if I could be included in your link database, under the livestock- business section. The name Reef Cleaners would be fine, but we specialize in Clean Up Crews, so it might be more informative if "Clean up Crews" was added in parenthesis, but it is up to you. The address of the website is "http://www.reefcleaners.org" We have already linked to your site under the links section because of your fine work in educating aquarists, including my self. All the Best, John Maloney <Will gladly place. Thank you for your efforts. Bob Fenner> Link to Capitol Aquarium - 7/3/07 Hello, We have a new website for Capitol Aquarium in Sacramento, CA that includes a video walking tour of the 9,000 square foot store.

Simonds ReefBuzz.com Owner <Will gladly link your site. Thank you for your efforts. Bob Fenner> Advertising ??? For Bob. Link to add - 02/22/07 Hello Bob.. Well my reason for this email is to ask if you will advertise a website that i joined? It's called Reef Builder's.. Reef Builder's is a web site where you can start a thread and ask question's about your Reef tank or any problem in general and post them so other Aquarists can help each other kinda like WWM but your not for say asking a pro... <We'll certainly add their link> This site WWM has saved me many time's don't get me wrong.. And i still read and love WWM daily. And i thank you and the crew for all you have helped me with i appreciate you all.. Reef Builder's has added WWM as a link on there web site because i kept on referring people to WWM because i think people lack knowledge and what they really need to do is just keep reading... If you don't want to advertise Reef Builder's it's ok i understand.. Thanks for your time Brian <Mmm, we are glad to promote others sites... this is the Net... Web... after all! Cheers, Bob Fenner> Site Suggestion - 02/09/2007 Hi Bob. First off I must say you have a fantastic site with absolutely tons of information. I also have your book The Conscientious Aquarist, which has been a great help, particularly when I was just starting to learn about reef aquariums. <Ah, good> Anyway, I noticed that you have a page with many links to various webs site about salt water aquariums. I have started a site, myself, all about the basics of starting and maintaining a reef aquarium. I still have a lot to add and as of today I have around 40 pages. I am adding content almost every day. <Is a very involved task indeed... with need for regular maintenance, checking for dead links> I was wondering if you have time to visit my site to see if it is worthy to add to your list. http://www.reefbasics.com Thanks for your time.

Thank you for your efforts. Bob Fenner> New Coldwater Site 7/9/05 Dear Mr. Fenner, <Aric> I appreciate your article introducing the basics to coldwater marine aquarium operations. May I have permission to reproduce your information on a new MSN Groups website I'm developing with a sole focus of "coldwater"? ( http://www.wetwebmedia.com/cold.htm) My interest group website, or what is there as yet is http://groups.msn.com/DivingintoColdWaters . I will to give full credit to contributors along with direct links to associated websites. The project is just beginning, and I will be looking into "group support" as the focus of the development, seeking out others with the interest in coldwater. It's designed for casual viewing or member involvement as the individual chooses. I'm contacting various Washington and Oregon high school teachers and college professors that specialize in marine biology to further develop good, hands-on information of successes and failures. Important note: This project is solely hobbyist/not-for-profit driven, but will gladly sponsor quality websites that contribute information, whether "commercially based" or "individual/interest group" oriented. Thank you much for your time, and for providing your own informative website in marine aquarium interests. Sincerely, Aric Fisher (Fish-Head Aric) <Our content use policy here: http://www.wetwebmedia.com/WWMUsePolicyStmt.htm I do grant you use. Thank you for your efforts. Will post your URL on our links page. Bob Fenner> Re: Requesting Permission 7/9/05 Mr. Fenner, <Just Bob please Aric> Thank you for your prompt reply. I am just becoming familiar with your website and, though not at all interested in "tropical" I find it all quite good. There is much "transferable knowledge" for those that want to try coldwater but come from the tropical marine background. <Am hopeful you will be able to "translate" this to your purposes> Thank you for your support. I wish you well. -Aric <Thank you my friend. Bob Fenner> Re: Requesting Permission 7/9/05 Bob, Would you like to be on a group mailing for purposes of website developments and news? Or would you prefer to simply observe at your own convenience? -Aric <The latter my friend. Time is short.

Much obliged. James Reefmonkey.com <Will gladly do. Thank you for your efforts. Bob Fenner> Northeast Philadelphia Aquarium Society Link Dear Mr. Fenner.

Well we're organizing out here on the Canadian prairies, and in Saskatchewan we have our own website - SaskReef.ca.

David Wick EBB Project, looking for petfish, aquatic science presenters Mr. Fenner, <Chris> I am writing to you on behalf of www.fragtraders.com, an online forum for marine aquarium hobbyists to share information. The forum is pretty new, started approximately 6 months ago, and we are still looking to attract guest speakers/authors who have had experience in the hobby and in the science relating to marine habitats. We would like to know if you would be interested in donating some of your time to write an article; sponsor a chat session where members would be able to post questions to you; or a standing thread dedicated to asking you questions related to marine habitats? If you are interested in any of the above avenues, or would like to suggest a different approach please let me know. Also if there are specific topics you would like to address we are interested in any input you are willing to share. I am looking forward to your response. V/R Christopher Cutting <Thank you for your efforts. I will gladly render you whatever input I can. Time is very short however... am backed up (and getting more inefficient by the day) with projects, some deadlines.

Otherwise, please put me on your "tickler file" and re-contact us every quarter or so. Bob Fenner> Could we add our link to your site?

Please do consider advertising your site with a banner on ours. You'll get placement in our Conscientious Aquarist e-zine as well> Also on a side note we have been working with John Randall on putting together a picture gallery for reef fish. Its not open to the public yet (couple more days) if you get a moment take a peek and let me know what you think? <ah, yes... really outstanding. I'll place a copy of this mail in his folder to check it out. [Bobster... the URL is pushed to the bottom of this message so that it doesn't actually get posted (cut and pasted) on the dailies until Mike and the gang are ready for public release.

BobF> http://www.reeffrontiers.com/photos_fish/ Hello from Tradewind Chillers Dear Mr. Fenner, <Just Bob please Ted> My name is Ted Robinson and I represent TradeWind Chillers, a company formed this year manufacturing high quality chillers here in the U.S. Three of us here worked at CustomSeaLife before they went out of business. I also worked with Tom Mitchell at CPR Aquatic for 4 years prior to working for CustomSeaLife. <Ah, yes. I think we have met> Our focus with TradeWind Chillers was to continue to produce high quality chillers, making improvements in any areas we had noticed while working at CSL, such as improved pressure-rated fittings and non-breakable, more flexible drop-in hoses. We also stress the importance of strong customer service, not only with end-users with post sales support, but also helping customers correctly determine their chiller needs for a variety of applications. <All sounds reasonable> I am writing to see if you would be interested in reviewing one of our chillers. We would be honored if you would take the time to test our chiller out, which you could keep or donate to a friend. Just let us know which chiller would work best for you and where to send it. We are located in Escondido. We would also love to have you come up and see our facility as well. <Mmm, would you be willing to have one of the other fine folks here at WWM give the unit a try? Or perhaps better, a friend in the service side of the trade, Steven Pro (of Pittsburgh, PA) who has penned aquarium gear reviews/articles? I only have a few African Cichlid systems up and going (!)... will cc him here.> If you have any questions please let me know, and check out our website as well at www.tradewindchillers.com < http://www.tradewindchillers.com/> . I look forward to hearing from you. Ted <Glad to find you're still about, making fine products. I will add your company's URL to our Links pages.

Bob Fenner> -- Las Vegas Valley Reefers http://www.vegasreefers.com Linking to Marine Aquarium Advice (Terry Bartelme) Hi Bob, <Terry> My name is Terry Bartelme and I have written articles for several aquarium magazines such as FAMA, TFH, Aquarium Fish magazine, Advanced Aquarist online and others. Our Website contains a library. Most of my articles are in the area of fish health management, diseases, etc. I noticed that you have a large list of links on your Website. I would like to know if you would consider adding my Website to your list. You can find it at http://www.marineaquariumadvice.com. <Will gladly do so> I appreciate your work and I enjoy referring to "The Conscientious Marine Aquarist" often. I feel that far too many pet fish are lost each year due to lack of better education for hobbyists. This is compounded by the limited availability of fish veterinarians. I am looking for resources to help change this for the better. I am working to help bring aquarium keepers together with fish veterinarians. We would like to encourage more veterinarians to incorporate aquarium fish and koi into their practice. You can find out more information about this on my "services" page. If you have any suggestions, links or resources that you can share that could help in this effort they will be greatly valued. Sincerely, Terry Bartelme Marine Aquarium Advice <Outstanding. Thank you for your notice and efforts. I do hope we meet... and someday soon! Bob Fenner> Linking to Marine Aquarium Advice (Terry Bartelme) Hi Bob, <Terry> Thank your for your reply. I would enjoy meeting you and I think we will find that we have a lot in common. I am in Washington State. Perhaps we could talk over the telephone some time. <Or better... get on out and dive some place where a bunch of us could chat for days> Thank you for adding MarineAquariumAdvice.com to your list of links. I will check back in a few days to see if you were successful in adding the link to your list. If you need any further information or a banner then please let me know.

Would you like to make it a permanent link to Reefs.org to be a helpful tool for others? <Maybe> The page has 129 items on it currently, and I update it as new livestock is added.

Bob Fenner> To adopt fish-hooked.com/forum http://reelinthefish.net and to make it a lively place for people to get info and entertainment, I am creating a forum at http://fish-hooked.com/forum I saw you site and saw that you have really awesome info that would be great to share with other readers. Would you consider adopting http://fish-hooked.com/forum as your community? That way your viewers can read active posts and be able to garner more info - especially the boring sponge etc? It is a great way to promote your site too as the more you post the more viewerships you will get. I would highly recommend you include your url etc so other users can check your site out too. Even though the 2 sites haven't yet been launched officially reelinthefish.net has already garnered a 5/10 google pagerank and fish-hooked.com has a 4/10 google page rank because many esteemed sites have already started partnering with us. I can guarantee that you will get some good viewerships in return for your participation in the forum. Kindly use the forum for good info as that would make people want to view your site even more. Here's looking forward to a great new partnership with you. -- With Regards Jeremy Rizal Selvanayagam <We will link your BB's when they are functional.

Virgina, Baltimore, Washington DC area Dear Anthony, <cheers, Michael> As I have mentioned, we are having a fairly major gathering out here this summer. Our speakers will include Bruce Carlson, Daphne Fautin, Adam Cesnales, and Joe Burger (confirmed)- <an outstanding speakers list... I regret that I cannot make it! I would have loved to hear all of these folks speak and to see the WAMAS gang again> and we hope to have some people from the legislative branch attend as well to discuss potential laws that may impact the hobby as well as issues related to defining "sustainable harvest"... <very interesting> Can you and Bob up a link for this event on wetwebmedia.com? <will do so here... Bob is cc'ed and asked here to post a link to your website: http://www.wamas.org/ and this message will be posted and archived in the FAQ pages> As we are in such an easy drive for many all along the eastern seaboard, the more people that are aware of this event, the greater the impact will be. <indeed... I do hope it is a smashing success for you :)> On a side note, please let me know your summer travel plans so I can bring the umpah-loompah girl by for some razzing :) Michael <I must not be doing the right drugs this week... I'm lost on the Willy Wonka allusion :p Anthony> Hello from" Captain Nemo" To the Wet Web Media Crew: <Hi there> It's been a long time coming but my new company, Nemo Marine Systems (to anyone who's unaware, I started the company before the Disney movie came out!) is finally under way. I have linked WetWebMedia.com as a primary information resource under our support & partners page, and I thought you all might want to take a look. <Okay> We have two showrooms with awesome display tanks, much of the success the result of the wisdom imparted by the WWM crew (I even have an autographed copy of "Reef Invertebrates" wishing Nemo Marine Systems good luck and it and it seems to be working!). I think what we are doing, while not as revolutionary as the invention of the protein skimmer, is revolutionary in that we are addressing the "gray areas" of marine aquariums to stylize, simplify and standardize the hobby so that both new comers to the hobby and people with inadequate systems are no longer overwhelmed with getting ten different answers to ten different questions from ten different people. We are also addressing the issue (which was seminal in starting this venture), was the WWM article to consider marketing aquarium cabinetry as furniture. I think one look at our web site will show that what we are selling is truly fine furniture, just as a piece of fine art is always displayed in an equally fine frame. The topper is that we've developed a simple system that just flat out works. No question today, just wanted to let WWM know we're here and on a roll... The URL is: http://www.nemomarine.com <Very nice indeed> Best wishes to all! Steve "Capt. Nemo" Bicker P.s. The web site is 90% complete and our coming video clips and other materials are not there yet but they will be very soon! <Ah, will add your URL to the Marine Links page.

Hoag Re: i have a similar site as wetwebmedia.com... want to link to you <We're not interested in where various search engines and directories rank us... we have more than 8,000 unique ISP sessions per day and so many queriers that we currently have no more time to properly respond. Will gladly link your site if we deem its content worthwhile. You can post a link to WWM if you'd like. Bob Fenner> I noticed wetwebmedia.com (Wetwebmedia, Aquarium, Pond, Marine and Freshwater Fish, reef ... ) ranked #146 in Google for the keyword "aquarium fish". I have a website that is a good match for yours and I think it makes sense for us to link to each other for 2 important reasons: 1 - It will be beneficial to both our users (most important!) 2 - The more links we both have pointing at our site... the higher we will both naturally rank in Google. Google doesn't just analyze the number of sites linked to you, however... they also look at how relevant and "important' the sites are that are linked to you. My site, for example, is listed in Yahoo. This means that a link from my site will be weighted much heavier than links from other sites (you can read more on how Google uses Link Pop to determine rank here: http://www.google.com/technology/index.html ) I really think it would be in both our interests to link to each other's sites. If you're interested, please reply and let me know. I'll send you all the info you need and I'll get your info as well. Thanks for your time... I know that this will be worth your while. Angela Re: IMAC Hi Bob; <Hi Dennis> Here's some news you might be able to use in your column. We have added a tour of the Shedd Aquarium's new wing, "Wild Reef" to the Schedule for the International Marine Aquarium Conference, www.theimac.org. In April the Shedd will open its new wing of almost half a million gallons, some of it with corals, which makes it the largest Aquarium in the US. Our tour will include a "behind the scenes" look but since Aquarium personnel can only take small groups at a time, registration for the tour will be limited. <Ah, good. Will post on WWM. Bob Fenner> Thanks, Dennis Dennis Gallagher, Chairman International Marine Aquarium Conference www.theimac.org Article and dead link? Hello, I'm trying to get to Anthony's article on UNDERSTANDING CALCIUM AND ALKALINITY from the website's FAQ section but the URL to it does not work. www.wetwebmedia.com/Anthony%20pics/understanding_calcium_and_alk.htm Is there any other way I can read this article? Thanks, Steve <hmmm... I believe that is an old reference that slipped in to the FAQ archives. The correct location is: http://www.wetwebmedia.com/calcalkmar.htm I just tried the link and it worked. Perhaps try to follow it from your computer by going to the "New on WWM" page jus the same http://www.wetwebmedia.com/Latest%20Articles.htm This page has a link on the left side of our Daily FAQ page and it lists all of our most recent articles. You can click on the title of that article there. Else, you can find it by following a path through the root web (navigating from the index page). Do let us know if that helps or if the link you tried to follow is dead on a specific page that we can correct. Thanks kindly, my friend.

I am interested in attending meetings and learning more from people in the hobby, as well as being able to buy specimens. <I do believe there is at least one long-standing club in the area.

Regards, Reefland.com RE: purchasing an elasmobranch in my area Bob, <Steven Pro this time.> You mentioned maybe Elmer's would special order a shark for me. Is Elmer's a shop that would have to contact Quality Marine or another Fish Store? <Elmer's does deal with Quality Marine, but unfortunately Elmer's, Anthony, and myself are all in Pittsburgh and I believe you are in Philadelphia. For all of Bob's worldly travels, he does not know/realize how large Pennsylvania is.> Do they have a web site? <Yes, http://www.elmersaquarium.com/> I couldn't find it in the WWM links area. Thanks for your help and I'll send some pics when I can get everybody in and acclimated. <I have heard some good things about a store out your way called The Hidden Reef. -Steven Pro> fishbase I cannot get into it today... is this the same over there in the West? <The same... website? Yes... there is a mirror in French/German, France/Germany. What are you trying to find? Sometimes this site takes a while to load... best to leave it "on", go for coffee or such. Bob Fenner J -- My New Website well, after over a year in the works, three web programmers, and way too damn much money, my first attempt at an e-commerce web site is now finally on-line. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> http://www.myfishtank.com/ <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< you have the honor of being the first ones to review it, but keep in mind there are still a few bugs to work out. Jim Aquarium Design <Jim... the site looks like a wonderful start, but lacks one tiny element... a mention of my Book of Coral Propagation <smile>. Heehee... I'll be sure to pass this along and post it on our daily FAQs... many days more than 6,000 unique ISPS daily!!! Check your traffic counter :p And do consider advertising with us in the future. I wish you the very best regards in your endeavors! Will pass this along to Bob. Anthony Calfo> Re: my new web site Anthony / Bob ?, I am confused, how is it that you are replying with Bob Fenners e-mail address ? <No worries Jim... this is the public address addy for WWM now. I know of you and Clayton Romie in HI...> aside from that, and as far as your book, I recall an e-conversation we had awhile back that I would add it to the Aquarium Design web site, which with your help I would create a section on coral propagation. <Yes, definitely> additionally, unless you are listed in Amazon.Com other than making a reference to the book how could I sell it ? <Antoine: Fire away. See you soon Stimer. Bob F> Jim Aquarium Design http://www.aquarium-design.com/ http://www.myfishtank.com/ Possible Link?

Be seeing you, Bob Fenner> Albuquerque marine group Hi Bob (or whoever), <Hello> I just wanted to tell anybody out there in the Albuquerque NM area that we have scheduled a meeting at one of the folks (we have 5 people I think) houses for Saturday at 7 PM. If anyone wants more info they can contact me thru http://wetwebfotos.com/talk I'd would be under the clubs and organizations forum. I'll repost there and add to my 2800 posts or so. :-) <I'll bet. Will post on WWM. Bob Fenner>> Thanks for your assistance. --des/jane Albuquerque club? Hi whoever!! <Hello> One of my messages was lost (but most of it has been answered on WWF--and I'll save the rest for later). On reefcentral I met someone else that wants to start an aquarium club here in the desert. Even getting fish is a challenge out here! Anyways, I thought I could put this up here and more people will see it. I don't want my email in some such a public group, but I could restart my Albuquerque thread on wetwebfotos. If anyone is interested they could look there under Clubs and organizations. They don't even have to post. (http://wetwebfotos.com/talk) BTW, Bob gave me a nice lead FAAS (??), I will write them once we have something to write about. They don't even have email (at least I can't find it). If they do let me know. <Please see here: http://www.tomgriffin.com/FAAS/index.html> Thanks for your help in (maybe) starting our group! <Help is available. Be chatting. Bob Fenner> --des/Jane Re: Hello (place link) Thanks I will put a link to your site on www.saltvatten.info This is a non-commercial site. <Ah, good. And we will place one to yours. Be chatting, Bob Fenner> /Christian Wrang Re: can I use your fish pitchers thank you for the pitchers I will add a link to your site too <Thank you my friend and web fish enthusiast. Be chatting.
