scotty,
nice idea mate, does that mean the city will be buying the supplies
if so can i get some carbon and a couple of tunze's haha jk. (wink)
won't you miss the tank at home? what if you set up a nano? that can't be too
much to run. I've seen some cool ones at lfs's

Scotty,
Whats up Buddy? Sad to see your tank go. Are you donating your clam too? That was one of my favorites from your tank. I'll let you know if I got anything. I'll pay that tank a visit when its set up.

yes the city will be paying for the tank now. after the dust settles i wil see if i want to do fish only (frogfish) or maybe a dwarf angel or break it sown completly. i will miss the tank but i am at work more than home. the carbon i must have like 20 # of haha. and chris ya the clam too.
you might get to see your tank even more than if it was at home, plus you will be getting paid to keep your tank clean, sort of. not a bad deal
if you can get the zoo to chip in they had some intense looking frog fish at country critters, they were only 500 to 1000 (crazy) but they were beautifully ugly.

i have been dying to get a frog fish that was the motivation of setting up a sump at home but i never finished it. as for it here at the zoo i mentioned it, if the first tank goes well maybe in a couple of years(things have to be planned for years)(annoying, it took a year and a half to get a piece of live rock here). i tried to get them into octopus but no go too small and short lived. and hopefully these pics work
