if my DH has his way.

I've got the net if you'll bring the 5 gallon bucket. Anybody want to give him a home?

Barbara?

I did the same thing when I moved. I wasn't setting up the tank again and glad I didn't, tanks are not good for allergies. Plus, I never really got over killing nearly all my fish when my heater failed.

If I didn't have a few survivors after that mass murder, I would have shut it down long before I actually did. The odd thing is the fish that survived were my oldest of fish, had them for years.

I just can't be bent over and standing on a step stool cleaning the tank (and trying to avoid being attacked by the Pleco

) for an extended period of time anymore. It's too hard on my back.

I loved my bristle-nose plecos. I should set up another tank. So calming.

They require a LOT of maintenance. Desertrat makes his own saltwater via some kind of process I don't understand. Algae grows. I'd just like to see it gone, but there is a LOT of $ invested in the live rocks, etc. I just don't like it.

My freshwater tanks were virtually maint free once everyone settled in and the bacteria set up shop. Salt must be different.
