Hi everyone, my name is Michelle. I was directed here by http://www.aquariumadvice.com for some help with my GSP. I started my first tank in June just a 20gal freshwater, then after by a fish that was going to be to big for my 20 gal bought an 80 gal. Now I'm up to 3 running tanks. a 55gal fw, 80gal soon to be bw, 20gal convict tank and now i need to start up a tank for my gsp who is in my 80 right now with some gobies and live bearers. i'll post another thread because i do have quite a few questions about Verde's (my GSP) tank.

Hi Michelle, a big welcome to you and Verde. Sounds like you've got a bad case of MTS, as it happens, you're amongst others that suffer from the very same malady.

Good to have you with us! :hello: :hiya:

Well I've found when MTS hits you, it hits you hard! You should see my house, it's wall to wall tanks just about and we removed our dining room table for a big tank. :D

But I don't regret anything. :nope:
