    So that must mean you got your first tank when you were about 2 right! ;) Sounds good to me....;)

    I was going to omit some things but since we are being so honest.....

    My grandmother gave me my first Stainless steel framed, black goo sealed, glass 5 gallon tank when
    I was 8 years old and except for the last 4 years, I have had one or more (6 at one time) fresh water
    tanks since then.

    Salt, I was in it long ago, from about 83 till some time in 91. Then I got married, got kids,
    got "get rid of money pit tank!" This time I just started again 6 months ago, first ever reef tanks.

    So all totaled, fresh water and salt about 37 years, tell me your getting old amcarrig! After all that
    I going to go lay down and take a nap now......:dozey:
