Life is going to get pretty busy for me in about a week and I don't really need the stress of dealing with the tank.

Stay tuned and check the livestock and equipment forum in the next few days or week(s) as I might post all my livestock and equipment for sale. I still have some really cool corals (lots of colorful Ricordeas, zoas...etc) that could be up for grabs soon.

I feel that perhaps it's time to move on.....am tired.
Daniel, hang on there, please don't throw in the towel. I have seen a lot of experienced reefkeepers on here had had their tanks crash at least once or even twice in their life. I, myself too, the last tank I had crashed earlier this year, I lost all my fish and more than 2/3 of my corals. I was wishing if I would have lost everything, all the corals but the fish, I was attached to them very much. With all my cheap, old, out of date stuff like lights, skimmer, powerheads that I am having today ... I am the one was suppose to shut down this hobby at that time. But I love this hobby, I don't need to show off my tank or equipment to anyone, I enjoy myself. If you really like this hobby, not because of this time your tank crashed, you give it up. I know you are very frustrated right now because I went through just like you, but I can see a lot of supports you are getting from this thread and people are caring for you. Try to do your best, Daniel. I am wishing you everything is going fine for you and a good New Year ahead.
