Ha! That's exactly what they say. I joke if they make me get rid of my tanks...I'll turn evil [er?] and do most of the crap that kids my age do[tho I wouldn't; it makes a point]...lol

Oh as for MTS; suffered 3 times...once had 18 tanks running; another 10 tanks; another 21 tanks; now only 5 planned. :D Wendigo's tank WILL get given away if he dies or one of my friends wants him; but otherwise; my parents can just deal with it & the 10.

I'm really indecisive ATM; but after seeing my 55gal next to me and liking it as a community; I'm going to keep it that way. My 2 green spot puffers I want will live in the 72gal "reef" [no CUC, no fish besides the puff's, soft corals, & feather dusters] and the 29 will be kept my F-8/Bumble Bee idea.

Basically, I get to have 4 puffers & 2 bettas. :D Me happy! :D

Now; I'm probably going to let the guy keep the co2 system & glassware or sell it myself...but still can't wait till that tank is HERE. lol

Tanks will be:

72gal Reef
55gal FW Community
29gal Brackish Community
10gal & 5.5gal FW Communities

5 tanks. :D What do you guys think? The 72 has more then enough light & flow to keep corals happy and hopefully the GSPs can live permanently in there.

Now; I'm going to bed. Good night!

My myrio insists on taking over my 10gal...lol

I pulled out maybe 40 pond snails so far and put them in a jar...the RCS are breeding too...so this tank is really seeming to establish. :D

My 55 has just become a mix of random floating plants...my next step it to get that one gravel & organized...

Can you get a better picture of that plant. it looks really close to a plant in my tank, but i cant get mine to stay down. the bottom rots and floats but it grows roots out the side and does fine floating

I love that plant! I haven't seen it available anywhere.
It is absurd to talk of one animal being higher than another. We consider those, when the cerebral structure/intellectual faculties most developed, as highest. A bee doubtless would when the instincts were.
