    Been out of the hobby for quite a while now and I don't know if it's the winter or what but i've really been tossing around the idea of setting up another tank, or maybe I'm just crazy again!
    Thinking about setting up either a 24"x24"x24" cube or a 30"x30"x24" cube.  Have room for both so i'm really kind of leaning towards the bigger one.  I'm going to start keeping my eye out for a tank to see if I can find anything that I like and I guess I'll go from there.
    Glad to see a lot of members in the club and tons of new names on here!

    Matt, you need to get back in! Craig is right, now is a good time to get in. The January business meeting is coming up along with Craig's store opening, spring fest and MACNA. I chatted with Glaspie for a little bit last night and he is getting back in as well.

    I was talking about it with the wife over the weekend and she's game for it, and we all know that's the biggest part of the battle! /DesktopModules/ActiveForums/themes/_default//emoticons/smile.gif

    Kind of measured out the 30" cube and where I want to put it, would work about perfect. It would be about 95 gallons. Any ideas or suggestions for equipment for it would be great. There's a lot of differnt products out there now that weren't before. It obviously would be drilled for an overflow, no way i'm doing the hob overflow thing again!

    Didn't realize Jason was ever out! haha He always wins all the cool stuff! /DesktopModules/ActiveForums/themes/_default//emoticons/smile.gif

    That is the nature of this hobby, you can never really leave.....

    i was out for 3 years and i was so angry at myself for having spent so much money on something so unnecessary... then, I got bored at work at decided (after 3 years of no interest at all) to look at RC's tank of the month. I had a tank again within a week. I have come to live with the fact that i will never be able to leave.

    Welcome back... now call your CC company and increase your spending limits =)

    HAHA, that hit the nail right on the head right there!  That is the battle I am currently waging to try and get back into the hobby too.
