Thanks for the warm welcome. I warn you though I am a bit radical,but mean well.
After meeting Alice at MACNA and seeing she was dedicated hobbiest I had to cometake a look.
I just have one personal tank now. It is all the time and money I can afford now. I do have a work tank that I help set up and take care of. So I would have to say it is part of me. It is a 75 gal tank with 4 96 watt pc, a 4mdsc running the chiller and the tank, and two maxi jet 750. The tank has been up for almost 3 years.
