If you do decide to setup again I've still got your old purple firefish and tailspot blenny.
If you remember Karen, she is trying to sell her complete 200gal system for about $2000 I think... she has a buyer lined up but its been 4 months and the tank is still sitting in her house.
I'm also going to start calling around to see if we can do a Tank Tour over the next three months. So that might be another opportunity for you to learn some new tricks.

Hey, hows your tank doing? Havent seen too much activity from you since i started peruzing. Tank tour sounds great. I keep getting lost trying to find the tank whenever im near unbc. Sad i know...

I now have Shauns system set up in my basement so thats not helping my bills either. Karen has plans on putting her system in my basement as well until this year long sale of her tank goes through. That one I think i'm gonna have to say no to.

Wow. You get that much water in your house and you will be able to drink the air.

I think its helped already. Every time you think youve thought of everything some one asks if youve factored in your ro filters and crap. Its a good realistic idea for people so they dont jump in too deep too fast ( my problem last time, had a 300gal system in my basement, water mixing tanks, ro tank, 250 gal freshwater fish tank, dehumidifier pulling 10gal a day, electricity bill was $250 for one month of that. )
