    Well, my youngest Daughter Madison(4) and I(42) going on 4 are heading down the long and winding road on Cinderella's coach to Walt Disney World... my old stompin ground plus worked there as well!!!! One Week there and a few days at Sea World , so does anyone want a seal or a sea lion or perhaps an Emperor Penguin??? I can try to get one. Me personally, will be trying for something alittle bigger to pull off in more ways than one. Shamu(the killer whale WILL be coming home with me on the train. She will be my lone addition to my 75gallon nothing but sand tank! Those tanks are becomming increasing popular-nothing but sand tank. I may add a couple volley balls and a football so we can play together and get some exercise, ya know!
    So anyone, I'll be taking orders on the train as I have a retched 16 hour drive down to Myrtle Beach to meet my folks then we will drive down another 8 hours to Orlando on a mini van. The mini van will work out perfect as Shamu will have lots of tail space(hahha) on top of the hood. and boy do I have it covered to keep her wet while the drive will tend to dry her skin a litle bit, so i replaced the winshield washer fluid with RO/DI saltwater with trace elements and iodine. We'll stop at McDonalds(golden arches) to get Shampoo...I mean Shamu a couple fish sandwhiches without mayo since mayo isn't good for us so why would it be good for a Killer Whale.
    End of this scheme, well talk when I get back, either on 3reef on my computer, or through plate glass in a jail cell somewhere in Pugett Sound.
    take care and don't miss me too much, while i'm enjoying life while drinking margaritas with Cinderella and Alice in wonderland!!!(question?...where the heck is wonderland-second star to the right and straigh on til mornin'? Or is it five o' clock somewhere in wonderland.
    oh, well, at any rate so long and I can't fathom what my tanks will look like when I get home after these stressful two weeks and leaving my sister in charge of my barrier reefs. God help me because Matt Rogers, AMCARRIG and geekdafied won't help me . No Karma for you reefers and reeferettes.
    Later for now !looking forward to talking to you fine folks when I get back and we can shoot the s#@$%^!!!
    over and out!:-X :tongue4: ::) ;D 8)

    Have fun, I know the little one will. If anything happens to the tank it can be replaced with money because the time you spend with your kids and watch them have fun is priceless!

    You guys should have a blast at sea world and disney, I haven't been to either in years.
    Make sure you set up a DSB and use an eco-aqualizer, it's a must for most orcas.
    Good luck with the tanks and trip!

    Nice Visa check card add Otty!!!!!!hahaha
    Oh, so Jason wants me to give Tigger a big kiss in the mouth, and Birchill will miss my input... Just think of this and that is all you need to know to help you while i'm gone> if you have the money and it is able to go in saltwater, if it doesn't mess up your water parameters to much and the fish doesn't have a habbit of eating everything in your tank, like a Grouper, or Undulated trigger, and you aren't adding 18" of sand for you deep sand bed, I say yes and go for it if you have alot of money. (selling the personal vehicle isn't out of the question either-I don't have a car!

    I' will be sure to set up the 10 gallon tank for the sump for the giant when I fit him in the 75 gallon. That should allot him plenty of pristine water for his success. Maybe I'll coax Mickey Mouse to come home with me and he can take care of him take him out for walks etc.
