      Hmmm . . . no reason to go to MACNA? How about NOBODY TO WATCH MY TANKS! I'd love to come, but with 20 tanks it's tough. Only one is a reefer - I'm a new reefer as of February - the rest are fresh but I've got some unique and sensitive species that don't do well without someone keeping an eye on them.

      Edit: Awesome pictures Jessy! I'm way too lazy and out of shape to SCUBA dive but for the first time ever your pictures made me wish I could.

      Jeff, that's actually a good point. However, if that is the case you really do need to train someone to maintain your tanks in case you have to be pulled away in an emergency. Years ago, I ended up in the ER with ruptured appendix, and had to ask others to care for my tanks while I recovered. Later, I had another emergency when my pancreas battled my gall bladder and they had to open me up. Each time, I was unable to care for my tanks, being restricted to bed rest. I was barely able to hobble over to the bathroom, and couldn't lift anything heavier than a gallon of milk for six weeks.

      So train someone to assist in case something comes up, and if you feel they are up to the challenge, you'll have a little freedom to enjoy life, attend MACNA, SCUBA, etc.

      Shush... Don't wake it while it slumbers.

      It will arise like the Phoenix when the time is right.
