It was one hell of a tank. Custom built. One bout of dropsy took the whole damn tank out one year. The only think that survived was a catfish. We also had a time when we got a bad bout of white spot, from a new fish brought into the tank. Individual treatment with potassium permanganate solved that one. After a while dad settled down to keep Cichilds mostly from Lake Malawi. They did really well in that tank, we even had a breeding pair. So cute, they keep their young in their mouths to stop other fish from eating them.
Ich/white-spot is one of the big reasons to always quarantine fish before putting them in your main tank. I have a 15 gallon rubbermaid tank at home that I use for quarantining my new fish. Though right now it's being used as a grow out tank for the mess of fry my sunburst platys dropped. My 48 gallon corner tank is full of orange and blue fish and my wife keeps referring to it as my Gator tank much to my dismay.
I want to get a big tank for African cichlids on day. I just need the scratch to afford the set up. Fish tanks are remarkably cheap to maintain its just the set up that's a bitch.

But why does it do that, is it just a side effect of being hidden?
Nothing it will never come. Death before defeat. I don’t bend or break. I end, if I meet a foe capable of it. Victory is in forcing the opponent to back down. I do not. There is no defeat.
I hate tidying my room. I did a proper one today, clearing out all the shit thats been here the last 3 years I have been at this house. How can someone develop a lifetimes worth of crap in 3 years?

3 years? I can mess up my room in 3 days!

Haha, all but one of my senior pics came out pretty bad. My smile was off, I either have a really good smile, or a really fake looking smile, I'm usually straight faced, lol. Unless I laugh, which is when my smile turns out good.

Same here (and I think you mean cluttered)
...And I used to play with Lego's all the time (completely disregarding the BS 'instructions' naturally, and just building whatever the hell I felt like -- the proper way to use legos! )

Of course, who ever wants to build what they want you to, lol.
I would love the huge ISD they made, it's got so many pieces, imagine what could be made with over 3000 pieces.
My floor is pretty well cleaned. And my bed is a kingsize (american queen), so it takes up most of the room. Its just my huge deskspace that i covere with just about everything.

duh. I used to build the instructions just to see how they made certain features, then i'd tear it appart and make my own craft.
In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move.
Well, I began my Mercedez-Benz certification training today. It was a six hour online training course where I learned more about MBs than I ever really thought I'd need to know.
But the end goal is worth it. Once I get my final certification, I can lease my own Mercedes (C class, ML, or E class) or only $100 bucks a month.
