It is Offical!! My new Oceanic 125 rr is on order! :D :D :D
Hopefully by October, I will finally have a "Large" tank with water in it! :D
It all started in Nov. 03, with a Thanksgiving trip to see the family in Wisconsin. My step-son's father in law said these bad, bad words, "Would you like to have a 38 gallon tank for free?" and this tank was running freshwater. Well, we brought the tank home with the gravel and some water still in it. It froze twice along the way.
Started to research, and stopped in at CB Pets. Also, stopped by Aquatics Warehouse. Well, that is all it took!!! After finding this club, i figured that I would set up the 38 gallon as a Cichlid tank. And then buy a used 100 gallon or so.
I joined this club Jan. 04, bought a 100 from another member. Bought most everything to set it up over the last year and a half. I have not bought anything "Brand new", in fact I really do not need anything else to set up a tank. All I was really waiting for is to do some floor work on the house and paint the living room!
Now as you all know, Richard and Mark at CB Pets, have redone all of their tanks! Now this is where Linda and I "Hate" them. JJ ;) ;) They set up 4 125's, and a couple of 180"s. And I went in to check things out! Boy was that a mistake! :o :o It was then I decided that I needed a bigger tank! :o :o Well, then I sold the 100 and I am now awaiting my first new piece of equipment, My "NEW" 125 Oceanic rr tank.
I will post updates and pics as things progress.

Yes, it is official. He finally was able to get what he has been wanting for a long time. He has very carefully been buying up equipment for this tank. I am glad that he will be able to set it up before my surgery...when we get back, he will be able to stock it. I guess I won't have his attention for a while when his tank gets here! :o Linda
