It CORRECTED it to "shlomo tree"? That rocks.

Hardest thing I've done is complete tank tear-down and then set-up again to change substrates. My F8s needed their aragonite sand, you know? :lol:

The hardest thing I've ever done for my tank was drive it home in a 2003 Mustang GT.

I don't know if it's the hardest, but one of the harder things I did was help my boyfriend drain his 36 bowfront and take it off it's tall shelf to put a plastic cover under it and then put it back, and once the tank is on the stand it's taller than me.

1) Moving them to a different state.
2) Finding out that a fish I was given had been exposed to camallanus worms, and treating with levamisole at the same time that I changed the substrate, then dealing with a mini-cycle.
"I will give you a talisman. Whenever you are in doubt, or when the self becomes too much with you, apply the following test. Recall the face of the poorest and the weakest man whom you may have seen, and ask yourself, if the step you contemplate is going to be of any use to him or her. Will she gain anything by it? Will it restore her to a control over her own life and destiny? In other words, will it lead to freedom for the hungry and spiritually starving millions? Then you will find your doubts and your self melt away."

Found among the papers of Mohatma Gandhi
