    I am having shoulder surgery on the 21st so i need to tear my 300gal acrylic tank down and set up a 125 this sat. I'm also going to redo the plumbing on my system some. i will have lots of anthila and taro tree plus some frags of leathers,red cap,and yellow staghorn to giveaway to anyone who comes and helps. i will start working on it around 10am and i am guessing it will take most of the day. I would really appreciate any help. let me know if you can make it and i will give you my address and phone number
    thanks

    Matt, I'll be there around 10.  Not sure how long I can stay but should be at least 3 to 4 hours.

    Yes, good luck with the surgery Matt! Many years ago I had the surgery for an impingment of the rotator cuff. I would guess your's will be arthroscopic; mine was about a 4" incision. Just take the pain meds religiously and do your exercises so you have full range of motion ;-0)

    That looks great. Since you're posting, I guess the wife didn't decide it was a hangin' offense! That LED fixture over the new acrylic tank looks like it all goes together real well. Anyway, I was happy to help, and had a real good time. I hope your surgery goes real well. Get better soon!
