Sounds good, anyone else?

I'm here, I actually started this forum, but it never really took off. Partially my fault. About 6 months after starting the club up here, I lost my entire tank to a plumbing issue while on vacation. I then took a back seat and the interest locally kinda faded I guess. Too bad. I am still arround and am working on a few things. I do intend to get back in sometime though. We'll see...

[chrisqueenz]

Sorry to hear about your plumbing mishap. I suffered a vacation disaster a yr. ago, lost power to my house for 2 days during an ice storm while on a cruise. Tank temp. dropped to 40 degrees and everything perished. Got kind of bummed out but then started once again.

Nice recovery! Looks great and the new tank looks like its going to be awesome!

I'll get back in, I just have soooo much going on right now. Following the forums is one thing, but diving into a tank build may take a bit more time. :D

She's no Tank of the month but I like it ;)

[NYBen]

Yeah, I'm basically out of the hobby right now (no tanks going), but still stay up on the forums and do still have the basics needed for a tank, and will get back in. I just needed to clean out the basement and get rid of the stuff I didn't need.

[chrisqueenz]

[aries70]
