    Well..it was a long/terrible summer. Went away for work..reef overflowed..lost all inverts/corals..Haven't posted here much. But now I am back home and the 40 breeder is currently empty. Donated all of my fish/LR to the LFS and ATM am waiting on a new t5 fixture and canister filter for a Planted Tank. I can't wait to get it started! I have 2 pieces of african driftwood on the way and I took a few nice big river rocks from a stream while I was in Arkansas. I still have my mantis tank so I will update some pictures on that. So from now on I'll go back to regular posting and help out where I can! Hope everyone had a great summer.

    Sorry about your misfortunes, but it's nice to have you back! A planted tank sounds like a lot of fun. Can't wait to see pics once you get it up and running!

    Real bummer. How did the tank over flow?

    That's exactly where it was! I pretty much covered the state this summer though lol I fished Ouachita, Greers Ferry, Little Red, White River, Arkansas River, Lake Maumelle, Ozark Nat'l Forest for smallies. Definitely stayed busy on the weekends.

    I honestly have no idea. The person staying there was gone for the weekend and came back to a very wet floor. The auto top off kept filling it up with freshwater as it overflowed. SG got to 1.009.

    This has always been my concern. I know there are those on here who say they have a "fool proof" ATO but that is impossible. ATOs are a great idea...before they fail, then you loose everything.
