well, wiith my 4x2x2 draining away as i type, all fish and plants gone (guys look after them!), i am sad to say i will be leaving the hobby for a few years whilst at university. my parents will take care of the nano but there will be nothing for me to do.

a tank at uni this year is out of the question as they say no pets at all. i may consider it in a years time if i can get a house share with someone but i guess during the summer hols the tank will have to come home with me, which is a pain.

but yeah, thats it for the fishkeeping for a couple of years, its been good fun and ive learnt alot. its a sorry sight to see a 4x2x2 sitting empty, with nothing to put in it. i keep staring at it making me sad, but life moves on and so shall i. im going to get planning and come back in 3 or 4 years with something very tasty.

i would ust like to take a minute to thank all those that have offered me advice and help along the years.
particularly a big shout goes out to the planted guys and girls who i wish the best of luck to. lljdma06, keep fighting.. the planted side will come back stronger than ever im sure!!

remember, light, co2, ferts and flow all in harmony..... :lol:

i will remain on the forum and post but it wont be as often as i become snowed under with work and booze.

cheers to the mods who do a super job on this form keeping it friendly and full of banter.

cheers all.

i have already tried to persuade him to keep a planted nano, no pets in the halls!

good luck with things Nick!
 
No pets.. not a problem.

I was told no pets in my halls. I kept Preying Mantids, and fish :)

Just keep things small, and when you have an inspection put them in a cupboard or under the bed!

The worst comes to the worst, they will ask you to remove them! You never know till u try!
 
or you could really push the boundaries and start breeding German Shepherds! lol
 
Aw, reading your post made me feel quite sad :-( I can't imagine having to give up my fishies. Can't have been easy for you.

All the best for the future.

cheers guys, i dont want to risk being chucked out of the halls. as im paying £3000 to live there for this year!

its anew building and i have to respect the safety laws, if something caught on fire or water went everywhere, i would have to tell them and they would be annoyed....

safe than sorry guys...

its killing me to take it down, hence having to stop to take a minutes pause.... knowing MA has a few of my fish makes it worse.... :sad:

treasured for 2 years and now bunged in a tiny tank in a shop to be sold to the lowest bidder!
 
I do feel for you. I used to teach and tell all my students that they were investing in their future, future earning potential, future potential for a rich psychological life... in your case, investment in that 1000 gallon tank you have your eye on or the 43 smaller tanks you would like to put together. Sounds like you will be back soon enough to make a nice big and noticeable splash. Take care and study hard! :good:
 
Aww i bet thats a wrench shutting the tank down. :sad:

Good luck in the future & with uni :good:

Come back soon :)
 
Good luck and we'll see you with a new tank soon enough! Time will fly by! All the best! :good:
 
Good luck and have fun at Uni, try to get a little work done in between bouts of boozing :hyper:
 
Good luck to you, Nick16. I wish you a bright future, with fish or without them. :D
 
i used to be a fanatic. from 7 years old to 16,17 years old.. had 15, 16 tank at one time

then i stoped for obvious reasons..

then i start again soon as i settle down at 27.. 3 tanks with idia of pursuit of perfection..




trust me its lot easyer when u r older.

good luck... more money you make better fish tank you can have..
