Sure, you are more than welcome to come over actually.

We are waiting for our Serra Stone floor to go into the basement next week (I even convinced my wife to let them put in a cool shark logo in the stone like at west edmonton mall!!!) before I get the sump installed and everything set up for viewing.

I think we should do a few informal visits to each others house/tanks actually. It would be great to chat about out tanks in person for a change.

You can post any questions on here too, the board seems to have slowed a bit during the vacation summer months, but there are lots of good folks here to give you their thoughts.

And you will always get different advice from different people, but you are correct, LFS can not usually be trusted, you have to do your own research, and don't buy anything impulsively.

So you have had a 28g for 8 months, I assume you have an upgrade planned?

Maybe a larger tank with a sumpe, halides? You know you waaaaaana.

Find that cable to upload pics! If it is lost, get a card reader, they are cheap.

Agreed, its one thing to share information online, it another to see things in person.

Where do you live Danny?

[danny zubot]

Just over in Acadia, where BA's used to be.

Do you have a thread in the tank specs forum for this monster build up of yours?

No upgrades planned for a while. I had to get rid of my 90G cichlid tank to make way for the other parts of our zoo (100lb dog, cat, 2 bearded dragons, 2 albino corn snakes, 39 G freshwater tank) egad it really is a zoo.
