Solutions are easy. The real difficulty lies in discovering the problem.

Thanks. Selling is a just a whim/mood thing, I doubt I could ever find a buyer. But with the recent floods and fires and electrocutions, and being so busy with other stuff, that mood strikes me more and more.
I have a vision for a different (smaller) tank, but for now, I'm stuck with this.

Wow looks great at what point did I switch to led ?

Any major equipment changes or you stayed steady throughout.

How did that queen fair in your Sps tank?

No, the build and growth part sucks Just kinda bored with it, and annoyed at a few things. The noise from my inline frag tank drove me insane, so now that it's gone, I'm happier.
I was thinking more towards a 90g cube with just a few select pieces, but that's just a concept at this point. I figure since I can hardly sell a frag in this town, selling the whole collection isn't going to happen -lol

Although, the tank hasn't annoyed me in about 48 hours, so not too motivated to sell (today).

I fixed the leak, got rid of some noise and mopped up most of the water that I can reach. I will have a flooring project once this tank goes though

The first 2 shots are MH, third is LED and the last is T5. Other than that, and some reworking of rockscape in the center, nothing else changes.

The queen was great in there, but died in the velvet outbreak incident. I replaced her with another, but that one nipped every coral in the tank.

The Emperor is great though, and I like him more than the queen.

Don't even go there!! I can't even recall why I used it, but it was a dumb idea, whatever it was.

I haven't been following the site too much as of late you switched from led back to t5

I think about that daily but thought I was crazy
