    Good luck at winning the lottery ;D
    The tanks do take a lot of time. I normally spend 6 or 7 hours once a week checking water and doing maintenance.

    Wow, nice tanks!

    I can't imagine not having an ATO. Can you tell me what went wrong with your ATO incident? Even tunze's ATO is not foolproof, despite being 200 dollars. If you engineer it well enough, you can pretty much foolproof any ATO yourself.

    The water continued to syphon even after the pump shut off.

    On a trip up to the twin cities this week, I found a neat little item in one of the LFS that I have been trying to find, or have built for me for some time. An 12x6x6 acrylic introduction tank that can be placed inside the main display protecting the new addition from the other tank mates. I wish that I would have found one of these years ago.

    Neat little gadget but may I suggest you tie a piece of fishing line to it in case the suction cups fail,seems like it would be aggravating digging it out of a tank that large and with the line you could just pull it back up or even tie it off to something so it wouldn't fall far if it did.
