New, again, from Ohio

[Shaggymc]

Howdy all,

Starting back up a new Tank... it’s been about 10 years since my last tank crashed, broke my heart, and made my sell all my stuff. (Broken PC light fixture crashed the tank while I was out of town)

My Kids (3 year old twins) asked for a “Nemo” and that was all the excuse I needed. (That or a Goat, and I’m not buying a goat)

Found a Craigslist 90g with stand about an hour away for $150, talked the wife into it, and here we go . Just drilled the tank and painted the stand so far.

Have a hundred pounds or so of Liverock cycling in A rubbermade tote.

I’m in Middletown OH (between Cincinnati and Dayton)

Thanks for all the help I’ve been gathering as a lurker.

You ain’t kidding, they were just starting to talk about LEDs when I left, and you couldn’t get into them for less than about $1,200.

And you can monitor everything in your tank via cell phone....if you have deep pockets.
