Recommended Posts

yesterday, i hv removed out my leaking tank & the cabinet too..... that's will be the end of my marine tank chapter.....

hey mr_xxx,

have always been checking out your beautifully taken shots and the wonderful corals in your tank.

maybe you can take this chance to take a break for the moment, go for a holiday... take a diving course or something...

Then, look for a better tank maker...

As the saying goes... what can't kill you, will only make you stronger!

So, hope to see you back again!

decommissioned 2.5x2x2

Pain is temporary. It may last a minute, or an hour, or a day, or a year, but eventually it will subside and something else will take its place. If I quit, however, it lasts forever.
