Hey guys, I am new to this site. I have seen several videos from monsterfishkeepers on you tube and often frequented. I USED to have a 80g with a overstocked mix of African and South American cichlids including a Texas, Cuban, Wolf, Peakock bass, Frontosa, Moori, Tiger Shovel Nose Cat, Managuense, Bumble Bee's, Needle nose, Fresh water Barracuda (I think it is just a gar), and about 40 or so others. I even had a betta (hey he lasted for a couple months) and some bala sharks in there for a while. I had that tank for 6 years and bought all my fish as 1 inch or so babies with exception to needle nose, barracuda, shovel nose, and bass. I watched them grow into beauties and then I went on vacation for 3 days. Came home....:jaw-dropp...found my door kicked in, emtpy bottles of various alcohol we had in preperation for a party we were having 2 days after we got home, and the house was pretty much destroyed. All of that was ok...then I saw my tank.....as embarrassing as it is to say I was in tears. They had poured dish soap in my tank....killed 6 years of my life.

So I dropped out of fish for a while....picked up a 46g hex on a trade with some of my corals from my SW tank and started a new. But, after watchinig some youtube vid's from monsterfishkeepers, I found a new fish that I want, and I can't get him in this tank. My goal always has and always will be to collect "killers". I love to have a very colorful tank full of fish eaters, so when people come over and say "wow beautiful fish" because of all the colorful fish, I could toss in a net full of guppies and watch their faces turn to horror. So, I sold all my fish and posted my tank up for sale here.

I didn't want to leave the wrong impression so I thought it be a good idea to introduce myself and give you some history. I currently only have a 36g SW reef tank running, but plan to use the money from this tank to purchase a larger tank to support my new dream fish. Wish me luck:cheers:
