Folks, if you've recently upgraded or renewed your annual club membership but it's still not active, please reach out to the BOD or a moderator. The PayPal system has a slight bug which it doesn't allow it to activate the account on it's own.
Thank you again. This tank has only been running about 6 months. Prior to that I had a 55 gallon running for about a year. I bought it at about five years old already established and just brought it home and set it up. The 55 was easy to maintain, but I got to the point where I really wanted a sump. So I found this tank on used on Craigslist. I will start one of those build threads tomorrow when I can take pictures. Here is the old 55.
Edit: I have no idea why the photo is sideways. It is not sideways originally.
Yes I have kids. The only time they even get somewhat excited is when we go pick out a fish. Any other time they could care less about the tank unless their little friends come over and see it then they will explain all the tank inhabitants to them.
