    Nice pics. That last one is a killer. Now, your recon pic adventure.....you didn't dress in camo and put black paint on your face to do this did you?

    I dunno If your interested, but we have that 55 stand. I think you saw it. Its solid birch. There's pics on my tank post.
    Oh ya and on a seperate note;
    What is the problem with the birds nest? Should I be moving mine lower?

    No, I have decided to skip on the 55 thing. It's still not what I want, I don't want to go through more time, effort, and money on a "patch" for my addiction ;) I am currently looking at 120g-150g tanks. I hope to be getting one once I get my tax return back. But I appreciate the heads up!
    RTN is rapid tissue narcosis (were the tissue dissolves away). My birdsnest already looks a lot better. I don't think they have RTN, I think it was just the shock of the fragging and moving everything around in buckets. I have no idea on whether you should move yours lower. Birdsnest doesn't need a lot of light, so you can keep them lower. But I have the MH's and T5's on my tank, so I have to be careful of burning things.

    Ah.. okay. I see. I just dont want to kill it. I'm gonna go google RTN, just to educate myself further. Let me know if you come in contact with anyone who would like the 55g set up we had. (obviously not the tank, it's trash.)

    Dude, you could still do the 55 upgrade and it wouldn't impede your quest for the motherload tank. You have the equipement for it....$100 would upgrade you completely. I would still do it. Maybe use the 40 as a breeder tank. Something really basic, cheap and fun.
