If only my financial advisor would allow me the lattitude to do what I want rather than what I can actually afford.
Haha, so true! Well I spoke with the wife and I think we are going to pass on the tank, its just not quit what we are looking for. I think your tide based system sounds like a great idea though and if you need any input on it I would be happy to help. Have a good one.
