So, in other words....watching a hobby crash would be priceless too!
HaHa. Get it? Priceless, in that you wouldn't have to spend money on it anymore.
Sorry. Couldn't resist.

Cheers,

Have had a couple of devastating losses over the years, but am still at it and try to learn from my mistakes and the mistakes of others.

Sorry to hear about your heater killing your tank I use two smaller heaters instead of one large one in every tank to help ease the potential of a heater malfunction. Also, I try to replace heaters every 2-3 years, just in case.

I'm going to guess that they went into a hole in the LR to die.

Good point, Steve.

I had my sump spring a leak a few months ago and everything started doing BAD after that... lost interest, started to contemplate getting rid of it before I moved, moved and now everything is doing GREAT (except my anemone... RIP) Moral: Sure am glad I stuck with it.
