Just starting bringing my tanks back from the dead. I will get some pics up soon. The tanks don't look very good ATM, but it's been many months since I did anything to them.

I am down to only a handful of different species now. All my 'cool' plants died years ago. I will be poking around different forums looking for some of the plants I used to have.

Today I went and had my CO2 tank hydro tested and then filled. Tomorrow I am going to go and get some PFS and get ride of the Eco complete that I said I was going to do 3 years ago. WOW I said that 3 years ago. Dang I have been doing this for awhile.

New reactor for my 28 gallon comes in on Tuesday, so that tank will be coming back as well.

Good to see you still here! If you need some plants shoot me a pm. I probably still have some of your plants from the last time we traded years ago lol.

It's nice to see you around here as well. You're right, it was YEARS ago.

I am going to put in an order from a supplier down in Florida. They have a lot of the species I want to get back.

I would love to trade species, but I just don't have anything to give away if you haven't noticed.

It wouldn't feel right if I didn't trade you for something.

I will send you a list of the stuff I have once I get it up and going. I enjoyed trading back in the day.

Thanks
