Thank you.

Unfortunately I will probably need to dismantle the tank in a few weeks.

Sorry to hear that you're going to dismantle such a nice tank unless you have another one planned.

No, I have not planned for another tank. I will attend an MBA program in California. That is why I had to dismantle everything.

I also had to give away my emersed plant collection http://www.aquaticplantcentral.com/...58279-some-my-emerged-plants-bacopa-sp-3.html .

Bye !

It's kinda sad that work and duty should get in the way of the obvious enjoyment you got from the tank. Wish you the best of luck in the MBA program, too bad it had to be in California. instead of SC.

Normally I would give away the trims.

Now I'm thinking on doing an auction in order to raise money for our local club ( www.croa.com.ar ).

But I don't think you will be able to participate since you are pretty far away !

On the far right is an Echinodorus bleheri.

This one is a Echinodorus schlueteri.

I removed almost all my plants from the tank .

After removing almost all the plants.

All the plants were sold in an auction to gather money for our local club. Actually the auction was very fun .

These two plants were the most expensive ones:
