  • lurker turned member

    hi all,
    i have been lurking and soaking up info for a while now.  you have a really nice forum.  full of lots of good info and people.
    i started with a 5 gallon...and as with most, decided that wasn't big enough!  now have a 55 g tropical community, and am looking to add on to my fish family in the future.
    also have a spoiled pound puppy named elbi that doesn't think i need to be paying attention to anything besides her.  never thought a pup could be jealous of fish!
    anyway, i look forward to reading and learning more from you kind folks.

                    yeah we all really need to get blond a nice large rabbit cage so she can use that 75 for fish, it holds water doesnt it. and besides even if it didnt, your not a fish nut until you start resealing your tanks. I think walter is good with wood and mesh, i think i have like 20 plus feet of hardware cloth (mesh wire roll) that is great for making cages.
