Wow, get away from the hobby for a while and things sure change

I've been somewhat out of commission when it comes to reef keeping for the past year.

The Mrs. and I moved from our condo into a house at the beginning of July last year. The move went very very poorly for my reef tank Within a month I had lost all my coral but I was able to keep my fish alive. I have most of of my live rock in a garbage pail circulating for the past year but I fear it is in very rough shape and will take a while to seed back to life as I fear it is very "dead" now.

I want to start up a new tank and use my current cube as a sump for it. My cube is a 37 gal. and I really think I want a simple 55 gal breeder to get going again. those short long tanks always look nice with a reef in them.

Does anyone locally have one that they may consider parting with for a fair price, We are also shutting down our fresh tank - the move on that one went a bit better - (parrots and clown loaches) so I could look at trading livestock for a tank?

Money unfortunatley is tighter than it used to be when I would drop hundreds of $$$ on coral without even thinking.. the reason other than an insane mortgage at Calgary house prices? My wife is Pregnant 30 weeks pregnant this week

Anyhow for those that might remember me, howdy, for those that don't ... Howdy

Is Nate still kicking around? Haven't seen him in ages.. allthough I did briefly see him goining into the Palliser Square tower where I work with fish goodies under his arm a couple months back.
