This person wrote the mbu article in the Library.
"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."

Winston is about 9 - 10 inches now (can't get an accurate measurement as everytime I try to measure him he gets curious and moves :roll: ).

Please note this is a tempory house for Winston, as I'm sure some of you know we will soon be moving to Belgium where he will have a shiny new massive tank awaiting him! :D

How old is Ziggy?[/quote] I got Ziggy in January of 2008 when he was 9".I would guess he's now a little over 2 years old. I think his pattern has changed alot. here is ziggy at 18" Image and here he is at 9"

i'm actually just a bit curious, how many of you actually keep your MBU's in 4000 Litre tanks? or are they actually in tanks a lot smaller than that???

8x4 + 6x2

400L tanks are good but highly highly impracticl!!! i would say as long as they are in 8x2 or larger its acceptable!
