Sorry to not having giving news sonner.. many things happened... not many good things...
the last 2 weeks have been long and sad ... On april 3rd we had to euthanize our beloved greyhound, Tuffy...  the void left by his departure is huge... We remember all the good times we had with him during the 6 years we got him. We miss our big dogy a lot...  The tank has it's up and downs... We had to frag down the blue and green staghorn because of algae got stuck in the midle of the colony and started bleaching... We discovered montipora eating nudi this week ... cursed bugs... we sucked out all the eggs visible and cut quite a bug section of different montis (among other the big undata ) .. We entered a six-line wrasse that looks busy swimming around corals for critters...for the moment everything is under control, no new spot nibbled and no new pile of eggs ... If we see new ones we will get dipping products ... coral RX probably ... One of the overflow has also decide to block ... we play the plumber ... and in the bottom of the overflow I rescued a fish ... our 2nd blue-spotted watchman! it must be 6 months that we did not seen it! it was doing good in the overflow .. eat all the flakes and another food that flows down there lol The new frag tank will be placed under the aqua in the cabinet ... We will remove aquas in the work-shop..less problems with noxious fumes of Marc hobbies (restauration of old cars) ... We found the pistol shrimp in the sump... little naughty critter have fun in going down the durso pipe ... we put it back in the main tank .. the goby was happy to see it's friend back! lol so that's the news here...

Life is full of cycles.
The passions are born, grow, decline, rebirth and sometimes die. Our interest in the salt water he soon began more then 10 years ... a 90g freshwater turned into saltwater. Then came big leagues with the 250g and then the 140g (this tread). The years have bring discoveries, mistakes, happiness and sorrows. The adventure was rewarding although sometimes frustrating. It allowed us to meet a bunch of folks and even created some great friendships. But now our cycle ends. We closed our 140g yesterday. Thank you for all your comments!! For now we are converting to planted freshwater.. the beggining of a new adventure... Life is full of cycles.. maybe someday we will return to saltwater...

Wow!
 Sorry you have decided to leave the salt side ...your tank was beautiful. As were all the photos and videos you shared with us. Your tank was a work of art and an inspiration to me.  Good-luck! and all the best with the planted tank... hope you post pictures for us... as I am sure it will be gorgeous too!  Leah
