I'm am in just total awe of the out pouring support we've received so far!!!!! Hopefully I have responded to everyone that has PM'd me so far, and I want each and every one of you to know how much this means to me, and I know others feel the same way.....I want each of you to personally know your kind words and offers of generosity; will not go unrewarded.....I think Al summed it up best in his post earlier.....
I want to "Thank" you guys for the support.....you know who you are.....Scott T, Smartori, Monsinour, Sparty059, Gemmy, and I can't forget Chairperson Meowzer......Al & Burke, and of course the mastermind, my long lost brother Corey (2quills).....Without you guys it wouldn't be possible......My hats off to you!!!!!!
You guys even make me wanna cry.....and I'm mean!!!!!

My Grandfather always said "out of bad comes more good"
My reward out of this will be to know that FLOWER has got her sump/fuge and that it has made her happy, brought her joy and that I was a part of making that happen. It will fill my heart with joy knowing that I brought Happiness to another. There is no other reward that will do but knowing that she has that sump/fuge and that it has brought her joy and happiness.

My Good Cyber Friends

Nitrates were everywhere giving me fright, water changes each day and into the night. But when you have friends who love saltwater fish, the worries turned into a sump/refugium wish.

Shawn got together all the smart ones online and decided to make me something divine. While Meowzer hunted down the perfect skimmer for me, Al&Burke started measures as swift as can be.. making sure it can fit in the cabinet you see.

iles.saltwaterfish.com/smilies/wave.gif">Then others jumped in with opinions and thoughts. Post counts kept rising as help just poured in. To thank them all proper, where could I begin? Monsinour, U Mike, Posiden, Spanko and Gemmy. Even Beaslebob showed up 13 pages later…with all of that help, oh what could be greater?

To my amazement Corey stepped in, He created a gizmo and blocked it all in…… to sit on the tank perfect …an award he should win. He did all the plumbing and put it together, he made it so well it will last forever.

Desertdawg and 1snapple had questions to ask, and they got their answers we raised to the task.

Shawn with your cold, skinned knuckles a plenty, made the sump/refugium with help from so many. My friend posted pictures so all could see…the beautiful sump/fuge he created for me.

These folks didn’t know me, it’s all cyber space…I wish they could see this big grin on my face. I wrote you this poem, I want you to know…I will always cherish your friendship, my hearts all aglow. What a shame it belongs in the cabinet below.

The end…
I said it’s the end but the story kept going, and the list of sweet kind ones just keeps growing, now there is Sparty…059, Smartori and Scott T, I have added these three. And here is the story of why it needs be.

The boxes arrived on my door step one day, everyone was excited to see what I would say. Now we are upset by the UPS guy, before I could sign for it, he took off on the fly. After opening them up, now we know why….

: 10pt">The sump and refugium, Acrylics sweet works of art…. were pulled from the boxes all broken apart. We called UPS… expecting insurance money..the way they have handled the claim isn’t funny. We gave them our pictures, they even came to the house. In my story they are the bad guys, the villain and the louse. Lower than pond scum for what they have done, of the insurance money we have seen none.


The sump is now costing, it isn’t for free. The work and the time and materials you see. I thought it was lost, that it was all over…but because of all these people there is a makeover. Monsinour has offered to make a road trip, nobody is trusting my new sump to ship.

Meowzer (the chairperson) offered to get us together, someplace in the US regardless of weather. Oh I can’t wait to see them, each and every one…to give each the biggest hug under the sun. It’s amazing to witness the things they have done, coming together to help just one.


f">I cannot describe this, it should be a movie, on the news or something because the story’s so moving. In a world full sad things, troubles and fear…on a site for saltwater fish..To find friends oh so dear. I wish I could type more but my joy tears won’t clear.


This story isn’t made up out of the blue, NO! These people exist, and the story is true. As this story unfolds I will type more for you.... the poem already takes up microsoft word page two.
LOL...I hope you guys like it. Shawn how would I go about attaching some glass doors on my fish tank stand? I need some way to attach the hinges. I am going to find some tempered glass to make some doors because I am not going to hide that sump ..

Wow, I get too tired to post friday night and spend all day saturday watching college football and what do I miss? 101 posts in this thread alone!
OK, If I do drive this is what will happen pending people's schedules. I would leave at 4 or 5 am and drive to harrisburg. I would arrive at 9 or 10 am and pack up the equipment in the car. Spend about 15 to 30 minutes shooting the sh!t with acrylic and then take off for chicago. Since I really dont know where you are Flower, I am guessing that is close to where you are. It would take between 10 to 11 hours to make that drive and I would arrive at 6:30 to 7:30 pm saturday evening. Obviously, if I am driving the stuff there, there would be no way I could just drop it off on the doorstep and not set anything up. I figure it would take that evening to set up all the new stuff and I would eventually make my way to the hotel at 11 pm. I would wake up the following day, stop at Flower's place to be sure that nothing happened over night and that all systems are go. Then drive the 10 or 11 hours back home.
As far as $ is concerned, My car gets about 35 to 40 MPG on the highway and I wouldn't accept gas money. Just cuz I am unemployed doesnt mean my wife doesnt make a good chunk of change. I also get lots of tax dollars as I am collecting unemployment, well for now i am. The only thing that bothers me is finding a room at a hotel. I would not want to stay at a nice place and pay through the nose. Some cheap hole in the wall with a bed is all I would really need. As far as feeding me, thats easy. I eat anything that is put infront of me. As long as there is some kind of meat in the dish, I will eat it. I tried coming up with good jokes about being hindu and that cows are sacred so that all we could eat is poultry, but I couldnt think of any.
I am not worried about driving in the snow nor am I worried about gas money. Someone decide who is making what and then I can see how to collect it all and get it to where it needs to go.
Al&B - your outside of buffalo right? If you make a piece of this, I can come and get it from you on the friday before I leave.
