    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

unfortunately on monday i lost heat in my house for quite some time because when i came home from working the overnite there was no heat. today i had to break down my 55 gallon freshwater due to more than 75% of the tank dying and the remaining fish looking pretty bad. i doubt i am going to do another set up. really upset loved this tank. :(
 
Sorry to hear about that, I had the same thing happen several years ago when the power was out for 10 days from a snow storm and Ive never set the tank back up. I loved my fish and I didn't want to go through losing any again.
 
That's a shame. I've had similar happen, except in reverse. We lost power in the summer, and with no AC, it's get a little HOT in Texas. Anyway, it overheated a small seahorse tank I had, and they eventually succumbed to disease from the stress.
Don't ditch all of your equipment yet, you may come back around. Fish can be highly addictive. I started out with a 10 gal and quickly worked up to a 125, (plus all the little tanks I still have going all over the house.)
