Lorraine's 125 (et. al) - The 2nd Year - Page 9

I would love to have Palani come live here with me. I won't be ready for another 2-4 weeks though.

I won't be ready for at least 2 weeks.

And, since you are coming to move the tank, you can pack him up in your suitcase.

tbittner · 04-06-2008, 10:35 PM

I'll ask Patti to start packing for a little trip. Where at in Utah are you? Our client has a big service center in Ogden.

bluespotjawfish · 04-06-2008, 10:50 PM

I'm in West Valley City, about an hour south of Ogden (and 20 minutes from the SL International Airport).

bluespotjawfish · 04-07-2008, 06:04 PM

Well, I found the stand and a drilled 125g tank w/overflows that I want,

Or, should I just take the darn thing down and consolidate a few items into the 50 (add a sump)

Be sad...be verry verry sad

lcstorc · 04-07-2008, 07:06 PM

Go with the new 125. You will soon regret going smaller.

bluespotjawfish · 04-14-2008, 11:00 PM

Ok, we've come to a decision. Not necessarily the decision I was hoping for, but one I can live with. The 125 will stay and be repaired without taking it down. The 50 will also stay. We are still debating on if the Palani stays or goes. They (other members of my household who will go unnamed to protect them from me) won the repair vs replace battle and sited money as the reason. So, I think the same argument should result in selling the fish that is too big for the tank.

Just to simplify life a bit the 29 is coming down. I was in the process of posting it for sale locally and ran into an ad where someone is raising fish to give special needs children their own tanks. My daughter works with special needs teenagers and adults. So this just seems to fit. I'm waiting to hear back from them.

lcstorc · 04-15-2008, 01:10 PM

Glad to hear you are keeping the tank. It would have been sad to tear it down.
Mr Palini has been with you a long time. Even if he goes to a new home he will remember his years with you fondly.

bluespotjawfish · 04-30-2008, 12:36 AM

I took down the 29 last weekend and my house seems empty.

tbittner · 04-30-2008, 07:56 AM

You should fill the empty spot with another 125, or maybe even a 180.

Why did you take the 29 down?

Dentoid · 04-30-2008, 09:03 PM

bluespotjawfish · 05-10-2008, 12:23 AM

I'm used to not having the 29 now. My other tanks need my attention, so I am glad I did it. It went to a good home. We donated it to a special needs child.

Got a new photoshow...maybe!
