This is a good reefing strategy that I subscribe to as well. There are usually at least two or three polyps on every SPS colony that look fabulous! The rest of the colony is another story

when I invite people over they can only view the tank from the front yard.



I just pray to Baby Jesus that the visitor doesn't have a telephoto lens.

pat don't do it!!! i know how crazy life can be. i have 3 dogs (1 puppy.. counts as a baby) a bestfriend roommate, a wife, 5 cats, 4 geckos, 3 saltwater tanks and a house that I take care of as well... and I have to finish my basement.... I took a break a while back and hated walking into my house and not seeing the beauty that is salt water... worst comes to worst, have someone hang onto your tank/tanks for you that has room... that way you don't have to sell it... PLUS... keeping it might be calming for the baby!! lol

I think the issue is what is in the best interest of the fish and coral you keep.
If you cannot spend the time to provide them with optimum care than it is time to take a break and get back into it when you can.

There is a positive side to this decision.

1. You get to set up a bigger tank.
2. You get to buy the latest greatest technology.
3. I may have retired by then.

If you retire ... Who do I get to banter with? Lol.

I wonder... does anyone care enough to read signatures if you make them really small? I would not. I would probably moan and complain, read three words and swear once or twice. But since you made it this far, please rate my builds.
