Scott- Welcome to the group. Montain Home, beautiful place. I had an Aunt who's family lived there- I can't recall the name. I was there for a day and night many years ago!
Wow, you ask a lot on a first date saltwater and freshwater aquariums take up some of my time, when I am not working on my dragster (73Scamp), building wood objects of use (or not), welding, working with electronics, and inbetween all of the above, some camping and fishing (currently using an alumicraft 16 foot deep V, with a honda 8.8). I have interest in the group as I am planning to purchase either a Targa 18 combo, or a 174 combo. I am leaning towards the Targa, but sticker shock on a new hole in the water is something else. If'n you have some wise words, I have ears and time.
