OK-well, we are pretty well settled in now..and I am ashamed to say my reef keeping has gone WAY down. The stress of the move was hard on my tank. I am not the biggest fan of acrylic at all when it comes to kids and moving! Everyone knows about the boo-boo nathan caused w/ the glue dripping on it-well there are a few more marks from moving
I had a kid over that took a toy/plastic key to it and scraped the crap out of it-it took all i had not to scream at her! (My kids KNOW mommy goes crazy if they even THOUGHT about touching my tank!)
Zarina broke my RO unit-and I have noticed an increase in algae on the bottom from not being able to use RO water. I am going to go to WM soon and pick up 20 gallons of distilled water and do an exchange....I am quite down when I think about how my tank looks now...we do not have the money to fix the ro unit right now-getting low on salt...$$ kinda sux when you want the tank to look nice...
I sold my 125
needed the cash...got pretty done over on it...
$325 for the tank/stand... and $400 for the light (which needed new t5's and a ballast) which isnt too bad since I only paid $800 for the WHOLE setup... didn't want to get rid of it-but knew all my livestock would NOT fit into it in place of the 200... my 3 star fish are still alive from the Ocean!!
my nano is still looking pretty darn good!
I have a neighbor w/ a reef tank but he isnt home much-he brought me some frog spawn and hammer which was nice! idk...things are going well in SC for the most part-just waiting for things to fall into place Aquarium/Reef wise... I have some pinkish/brown monti cap frags w/ purple polyps that I might take into town and see if he will trade for some kind of sand sifter (if he has one-i really havent seen one in there...) or any kind of goby I suppose... I am missing good prices on fish...don't want to pay $40 for a small fish...need to get out and check the local shops other than the one in town yet. TOO many ppl around here have a backdoor permit to sell-and they SCREW over ppl SOO badly! I will not be joining that band wagon! Hope everyone is well-sorry about the tang losses I read about!
