All,

It has been a very trying couple of weeks for us here.  First as many of you may not know I have been out of work for over a year due to a work related injury. Now I'm being told that I may need a knee replacement.  Stressed in that for a week or so...

Then this last weekend we Lost power while we we down visiting the grand daughter for the weekend. When we returned the circuit breaker popped when the power came back on and l we lost most of our fish to the cold... What a shitty way to end a weekend.  Liz I'm sorry not get back to you sooner, but we have been devastated and yes we Lost your fry also.

Needless to say Lori and i are so devastated that we have desided to close down our fish rom and are done for now with keeping any aquariums for now...

Thanks all for all your support and wisdom over the last couple of years here on Mugwumps.   we will still stop by from time to time to check in...

Aron, I am so sorry to hear this.  I wish you and Lori kind thoughts and hope you will get back on your feet.  Thank you again for the beautiful wood fish, you have a real talent there, keep up with it if possible.  When you return to fish someday we will all be here to support.  Take care,

So sorry to hear that you two suffered one of a fish keeper's worst nightmares. Hopefully after your recovery from your knee surgery you will be thinking about returning to the hobby.  You have talent that you've been willing to share....there are folks who appreciate and benefit from it.  My best to you both.

Sorry to hear you're shutting down. Hopefully you still post here with sage advice for all of us.
Just don't do anything rash and start selling off equipment. It's a lot more expensive to start over than to clean up what you already have.

I'd really love to say you've fallen off the horse and you need to get back on. But I won't.  :)  :)

 Sorry to hear about your "luck".

If you change your mind about shutting everything down, let me know....I have a "few" spare fish here, and even a pair or two to help ya out with.

I'm so sorry, Aron.  Also sorry for the snotty PM.  I had no idea...I'd be happy to help get you started back again as well.  Just let me know when you're ready.
Always move forward. Never look back.

I'm so sorry to hear this news. That's a hard blow to take. I would be more than happy to help out too if you decide to get back into fish.

Ya know what??....you need to grab a case of ripple, and start drinking it, while you start planning your new fish room.....with a power back up, of course.... ;D

..just consider it a bump in the road to excellence... :D....oh...and get that damn knee fixed...issue done and over with.... 8)

Aron & lori, Sorry about your fish. Don`t get rid of anything just yet! Wait for about 2 months, when you are getting better with your knee and then look at it again. Sometimes things just pile up and seem to much at the time, then, when everything gets back to semi-normal you go Gee, I wish I didn`t get rid of all my stuff.  I know, Jon & I have started over, more then a couple of times, with things. Best of luck with everything. :)
