Leaving The Hobby

I know I ask about a nano tank, but that was a half hearted reason to stay.After much thought on the matter, I am leaving this wonderful hobby.
With pressing matters at home my life seems to be taking a different road.
Its been a wonderful ride and its been great to know many of you through this site and especially those I knew from years ago when I joined RAG.
Travis, Terry, Mary,Scrooge, Pooduck to name a few who listened to all the questions and helped Me achieve My goal.
To all My new friends here thanks for everything and God Bless you all.
I hope its ok to drop by in chat when time allows. Maybe post whats going on in My future endevores.

Take care everyone and happy reefing.

MINIATUS

Re: Leaving The Hobby

Sorry to hear that Min but, I understand when life takes you down a different path. I've been there myself.

I wish you the best in years to come and hope to see you around once and awhile.

Re: Leaving The Hobby

Sorry to hear that you are leaving the hobby. Maybe someday when life settles down on the path you choose, you will rethink and maybe start again. Even so, let all of us here know how you are and say hi once in awhile.
