hello!!

that make it much much easier..i've maybe found a handful of people around the area other than a few other boards generated out of the vermont area..and a few from way over LOL but even some of them are a bit pricey...i had a huge anenome was bought as a seabea, turned out to be a purple tipped something or other LOL...but i bought that and the 7 lb rock for 90$ from a lfs..so i mean they arent always horrid w/ priceing but in this area we dont look for huge colonies, we look for small items as they all grow to be ocean size anyways..but i have seen some " frag packs " from fellow reefers that made my mouth drop...

 

" wow " and see i thought i got a heck of a deal LOL...now i'm debating puttin the guppies in the 10 gal..and using the 55 ( i think LOL) as a salt water set up.. i know that larger is better but i maintained a 10 gall w/ perfect parameters for 4.5 years...so i figure i'm good to go...or to buy another tank sink 1000s into it..or what i really want is to just purchase a set up prematured etc for someone leaving the hobby...now to get me some good deals in vermont..thats a miracle...wish those prices were same here..so are u i vt now? or VA? live in both states?

 

plan a move back? i agree they are more forgiving bigger..with the expenses however some just cant..i would prefer a 180 but will most likely have to settle for a 75/90 gall as priceing is everything..its a great hobby, a bit pricey but well worth it, my children have learned so much and that makes it even more worth the while

 

Oh i hear ya...wow that would make me cringe! i love vermont..hate the snow/cold but the area i live in is just great..peaceful...i have a rabbit sanctuary ( 28 to be exact) so the land and peicefulness is just awesome! almost as relaxing as the tank...

 

i agree comes with the territory..i still dont like it tho. but on the other hand the kids do ( we've 1000 acres so they like to go walking with the dog..) and i put the rabbits in the run on the land so i guess i kinda deal with it also..

 

its not to bad..small organic dairy farm...loads of farmland along with great trails even vast trails, so we all go a walkin' keeps the kids busy LOL and they see all kinds of wildlife including bear, i've yet to see one but we've heard that there out there.

 

i actually have..a cow ( female) out by our secondairy farm..got close enuff for my likeing to get a pic...was very cool, we also have deer pass right in front of the house. we had 3 babies playing across the street it was awesome..

 

it was interesting really i still prefer deer..hubby ran across a moose while gettin cows early in the morn..he was with the herd LOL...was a shocker!

 

here is a pic of my old set up..i'm also lookin to see if i have the moose/deer pics uploaded to photobucket...

 

i no longer have the tank, bummer...thanks tho..i will again i swear if it kills me!! i'll go thru the disks...and see what i can come up with...
