Hey Mike, long time no talk. When did u move in with Sam? lol. The tank is doing ok. I have had some losses due to neglect on my part but I am trying to get back on track. I will be doing a water change this week and will more than likely be changing some things around since I have not been able to get rid of the mantis shrimp and it has been killing off all my snails and hermit crabs.

Thanks, I will try to post some in the next few days although u will probably be dissapointed as I have experienced a few losses due to bad husbandry on my part.

First of all, congrats on another trip to the big game. My Dolphins actually put together a nice season this year.

Updated pics would be great.

Thanks, I have had alot to cheer about lately. I have actually been very busy the last few months since my wife just gave birth to our baby girl on 1/14/09 and I had spent all my free time trying to prepare for her arrival. I don't know if that is the reason as to my tanks regression but thats my story and I am sticking to it. As for the updated picks I will try and get some up soon. Thanks again.

Well, It is with a heavy heart that after a little over 3 years since I started this journey, I have decided to sell my system. It was extremely hard for me to come to this decision since it truly has been a labor of love and I still enjoy it,but do to work schedule and current location I have been neglecting my tank(located in the living room which I'm never in) and eventhough I fought with myself trying to find another spot in my family room that I could move it to, I finally had to face the fact that it's just too large and would not fit.
Now, I do not want to get out of this hobby that I love but since space in my family room is limited and yet It's the only room I feel I will truly be able to not only care for but also be able to enjoy a tank, I have decided to start up a 22" 46g starphire rimless cube.
I have started a build thread for it and invite all of you to join me as I start a new venture. I thank you all (especially Marino for the inspiration) for the praises and helpful ideas you shared.
I think my brother may be taking the tank, lights and filtration but nothing is concrete yet. In the very least I will be looking for a new home for the stand/canopy and a few other goodies very soon.
Thanks again and hope to hear from you all in my new thread.
