    Well, I know some of you have been following my 180g build, but life has forced a new beginning... (don't ask :-X)

    Not to pry, and feel free not to answer, but did she want the tank, or was it spite? On a brighter note, a 90 is still a great size tank, and if you set it up anything like the 180, it should look fantastic.

    90g is great. I have one and LOVE it. Sorry you lost your 180.....that bites. But....you are sticking with the hobby. And that is a great thing. K+.

    Is she going to know what to do with the tank? I ask because if my husband and I were in this situation, I might feel the urge to tke it away, but I would never be able to handle it on my own. Thats just the truth. Hopefully she will come begging you to take it off her hands.
    On a better note, way to go. Get back on the band wagon. I cant wait to see where you take it.

    She's in the house while it sells and the 180g is built into the wall. The tank can't be removed while the house is selling. Moreover, while I was the victim here, I wouldn't put spite past her.
