Thanks everyone for the kind words both here and through PM's. The tank is what it is these days. I got burned out regarding the online part of the hobby so its just been easier for me to hang out on fb and Liverpool FC sites :D

Craig, I completely redid my tank about a year ago as I wanted a new start.

Hiker, Yep, the system specs are still the same except that I don't do as many water changes.

Thanks again,
Mark

Hey Mark,

Just so you know I'm a Man U fan ... :tongue:

Thanks Paul. I've supported the Redmen for 25 years. I fell in love with them when I was playing in England when I was 15. I can't blame you for supporting ManUre :angel:

Used to play competitive soccer (we called it football back home) way back, back when and not sure how or when but ever since I've been a Red Devil's fan for the last 27 odd years... :hell_boy: (sorry Rev ... :cry_002:)

Sorry David, The passion is long gone. I don't test my tank anymore and I only scrape the glass once a month. I just can't justify spending money in this hobby anymore.

WOW really? Seriously one of the nicest tank probably in the hobby and no passion? :( Looks great though Mark. Hang around here a little more and at least chat with us.

HAHA! That wouldn't work!

A uninspired, passionless Mark Poletti is still twice as much a reefer that I am. His stuff would die post haste in my tank. ;)

Hang in there Lee. The economy sucks and I know that Vegas has been hit hard; as well as Sacramento. Fishing is always a good option though :D

Can anyone tell me why I can not link to photobucket? I tried to upload a FTS from tonight, but it is not allowing me. This is not the 1st time I've not been able to share on R2R. Thanks
 

Freshwater filter only or is it? Have you ever used an HOB filter on a saltwater tank?
