    I started my 55 back in 2001 and upgraded last year to a 135. Tore down this past Feb(?) Economy hit our industry very hard. Maybe someday, when I retire. Few other reasons....when we do have work, it's just too hard to find sitters that won't kill the tank and I worried all the time when I was gone.

    Hmm.... I'm about $1800 in over the last 3 weeks to get my 90 set back up after a 5 year break. about all I could reuse was the tank, baserock, and the return pump.
    I think I might end up upgrading the pump before i'm done too :eek::speechles:goldfish::curtain::beer2:
