    Dude.... the first tank damn near had me sleeping in my Jeep. She said no and I got it any way.:eek:

    When I made the dicision to sell it she actually tried to talk me out of it. I said... you hate the tank... and she agreed... but she new how much it meant to me.

    The door isn't closed.

    My 90 is sitting barren except for a clownfish and 4 or 5 really big aptaisia. I haven't run the halides over it for months; all corals have been moved into the 18x18x18. It's doing very well, and I enjoy it every bit as much as the 90. Like others have said in not so many words--it's not the size of the tank, but your continued association with the hobby.

    Once a reefer, always a reefer, I think. I'm happy you continue to visit and post here. The place wouldn't be the same without ya! :)

    Powerman I think soon as you get your feet settled into a new house, it will all fall into place for the tank. Good luck house shopping and you could always keep a Betta during the moving process. ;D

    So just catching up. We talked to our realtor... we have had over 70 showings, lots of second looks, only one offer, and they were simply not in our price range. We have dropped it all we can afford to drop it, and still have money to move and not go in debt. If it was 5K less it would have been gone 6 months ago. So we will be taking it off before Christmas and that is it for now.

    A bit bummed about it cause I really want to move. I stopped looking at new houses on the web 6 months ago cause there was no point. But it isn't the end of the world. We have a good roof over our head and things can be much worse. Bad thing is my sister is coming to move in with us. She has been out of work for 3 years and lost her house. So me and the wife sister and mother in law... and 3 dogs. Woo Hoo.

    But the only thing that matters here is that I'm still bummed I don't have a tank. We will put it back on the market at some point and I will stay tankless. I know exactly what I want. I just need the place. All you guys with your nice setups and experiments are killing me.
