bottomdweller_fan Posted August 30, 2012 Report Share Posted August 30, 2012 I just wanted to let you all know that my husband and I are moving out of province and have decided, after a great deal of soul searching, that we will not be able to continue in the aquarium hobby :cry:. We began our journey about 5 years ago with my husband starting a 23 gallon tank for african clawed frogs and me starting a 75 gallon with ropefish. I would just like to say that although I haven't been on the site for a while, it has been great getting to know a lot of you. I particularly remember the "meetings" in parking lots where fish and aquatic plants changed hands. I also remember the time I was the delivery person for a Spencer Jack order where the plane did not get in until around midnight and I was meeting people to give them their fish at 1 and 2 a.m. I hope that you all take care of your fish, yourselves and each other and I will hopefully be able to "lurk" here occasionally, if only to vicariously enjoy the fish-keeping hobby through all of you. To quote the title from one of Douglas Adams' books - So Long and Thanks for All the Fish! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ckmullin Posted August 30, 2012 Report Share Posted August 30, 2012 It's unfortunate but as with life, it's full of changes! Me rather than saying too bad about the loss, I'll stick more to have a great new adventure with your move and all the time after that!

Wingin' It Posted August 30, 2012 Report Share Posted August 30, 2012 Hopefully your move goes well. Getting out of the hobby may only be temporary...it's always too tempting to start another tank if even a small one. Best of luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeremoose Posted August 30, 2012 Report Share Posted August 30, 2012 Hopefully the move goes well and I'm sure you'll come crawling back in good time... Don't forget to take pictures of all your setups to remember them by! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rayfong Posted August 30, 2012 Report Share Posted August 30, 2012 Well good luck in your new adventures. I think I was one of your meetings at 1:00 AM in the morning at the Kingsway parking lot 2nd level by the bay way back then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayba Posted August 30, 2012 Report Share Posted August 30, 2012 It's gonna be ok. I looked it up on the Internet! They have water in BC! You can get more tanks once you are settled into the new place! Just simply set up a small tank at the new house to keep fish in the forefront of your mind, and the MTS will soon become reality once more. 13 acres is lots of room for tanks. Best of luck in the future! Best regards, Jay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bottomdweller_fan Posted August 31, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2012 Well good luck in your new adventures. I think I was one of your meetings at 1:00 AM in the morning at the Kingsway parking lot 2nd level by the bay way back then. I think you are right. They were good times, but I don't think I'd want to do it too often! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
epiphany Posted September 2, 2012 Report Share Posted September 2, 2012 Thanks everyone - we are moving out to our very own 13 acres of beautiful land in the interior of BC. jeremoose - thanks for the great idea (rummages through boxes to find her camera ). Tanks? Think of the pond you could set up on 13 acres... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
