Re: BigAl's 10g . . .

You know, it occurred to me that BIG Al has a TEENY tank...

What's the psychoanalyzation on that one?

Re: BigAl's 10g . . .

Setting up one for $200 is the easy part.. it is the maintenance and additions that are wallet killers
Reefing is one small upgrade after the other. LOL!

Hey that's how I do my best work. If you can't "Preach to the chior" what's left? I love both of my Nanos.

Truer words have NEVER been spoken. Setting it up was the EASY part (financially speaking) but I wouldn't trade it for anything. I've enjoed it every step of the way even the tough times were good. I could have been doing a lot WORSE things than here at home with my wife mixing salt water and testing (doing that tonight actually). And it's become a PASSION rather than a hobby. And the best part of it is that she is sharing in this passion with me. When someone asks a "Reef Question" and Julie knows that answer my heart skips a beat. It makes me proud.

Thank you so much Scott. Honestly having you and the rest of the RS gang here to watch over me and help me out means a lot. Your kind words touch my heart and I really appreciate it all.
