Sorry to hear of the loss Jeff hopefully the rest of your fish come back around.

Good luck with the hood mods, no one ever said this hobby was easy, right.

lol dont tempt me like that if i had the room and method to haul it id do it. but would feel too guilty like i screwed you over my friend. your system is worth 1000 times more than my 50... i still recomend storage for you untill you get yourself back on your feet.
