Well....um....as for me...life happened.

Been very very busy. That's one of the reasons I asked Mike B to help out, but I'll be making an extra effort to post regularly.

I've been putting plants in my tanks for the last 2 days.

mpp

We (ARB & I) went to see Stuart's tanks down in Crete Nebraska on Sunday. They were incredible and also the source of the plants that we've been putting into our tanks for the last couple of days--(well, I'm not quite done yet, last night was my favorite TV show "24" so I was butt sittin' and watchin' the boob tube. Stuart's tanks are all beautifully planted and the emphasis is on the plants and shrimps vice the fish although the fish were beautiful and well kept too. I sure wish Stuart could post some pics of his tanks here, they are truly stunning. I felt like I needed a notepad and pen so I could take notes. Every tank was a show tank, the only exceptions being the ones being torn down. I mentioned that Mike B and Gary would be great choices to take pics of Stuart's tanks and it's just a short little trip down to Crete... really.

I am STILL planting!!!!!!!!! I think I need more substrate because the roots are so massive! I am also trying to hurry and put the other 30 long up just so I can have another tank to put plants in. Which reminds me I need to get into contact with Lesco--I need substrate for the other 30. You interested, mpp, in some Soilmaster Select?

I'll be going back to Crete to pick up another Eheim and drop off some shrimp at Stuart's, so whoever wants to tag along is more than welcome! I have a van that seats up to eight, so there's plenty of room! Like Mike said, bring a note pad! Bring some cash too, because you'll want to buy plants! lol

I can't wait to get some pics or to have someone *coughmppcough* to come by and see the tanks after getting the plants in! They are gorgeous!

Just past Lincoln on I-80.

And I know you've been checking in Mike. I was just commenting on my absence. I know the forum's in good hands with you.

Well I hope so Gary. I know I've been pretty busy lately as well. I finally got those damn tanks up and running with enough return water pressure and no leaks. Go figure it works better when that happens
