| Well this is kinda the end of the road. Im leaving for college in 1 hour. Im pumpmed, but its weird. These are my last moments actually living at my house. Weird. Anyways my dad is taking over the tank, hopefully everything runs smoothly. Ill still have internet, but it will be hard for updates. Ill try and have them send me pics and stuff but well see.

| Have a great time at school! It is a little weird at first to be away from home for real, but after a little while it just becomes normal.

| Ok, so the tank is running ok. But im having a problem with my lights. My old bulb burnt out(after 2 months!) so i got a Reeflux. except. it wont fire. i think it's my ballast tho. its a no-name digital ballast, could there be a fuse or something?
