Best of luck with the new tank. Sometimes a reboot can be a welcome change in this hobby.

Hate reading about the problems, but looking forward to seeing the new build!

Good luck moving forward. It’s definitely tough going through setbacks, It’ll all come together better than ever though.

hope you got plans for some awesome fish in the bigger tank!

SneakyTortuga · Nov 26, 2019

I appreciate it all!

For someone saying that Ive lost motivation I didn’t hesitate to go all out On the fish today. 14 new additions going in quarantining

sneak peak of the tank. Rock work still not complete

haha talk about losing motivation is a completely over the top way! ;Hilarious Sorry to hear the troubles are still plaguing you but hopefully now with things moving along and the new tank going everything starts picking back up again!!

Definitely a nice fresh start and having all the extra volume and space will definitely be a big help! With your skill and love for the hobby I'm sure it'll be amazing!!

I wish I was that not-motivated and got a new tank too...

hahaha I honestly didn’t know what to do with the new tank when It first arrived. I didn’t even know if I wanted to set it up but there was no turning back when I had a 230 gallon tank sitting in the middle of my living room

We’re all gluttons for punishment! Happy Thanksgiving!

It’s just one project after the next. Time for some cable management

The dark side of the hobby!

Hours later and I’m still not completely happy with it.

I added the last of my surviving corals today. It was really nerve racking when I saw how many I had lost. Just to name a few :
Speed reefer Trollsicle
Pirates reef Pink ***** cat
Rru rainbow blossom
Hw
FHC side chick
Sc op
Acrolandia
No name tenius
No name tenius
TSA rainbow fusion
Tsa star scream.
And all the survivors are not in the best condition but I’m just going to look at this as positively as I can and just learn from my mistake.

I love the depth on the new tank. I actually really love the new setup in its entirety. the dimensions are perfect. I don’t think I would go less than 30” width after having this tank.

This is my side view sitting on my couch. Don’t mind the frag rack! It won’t be there for long.

Best shape doesn't matter, they will bounce back! That's a big list, but at the end of the day, you've still got a bunch of bangers in there, so don't pet the sweaty stuff, you've got the right attitude.

Is that 4xmp40's I see on the back wall?

Yep! 4 mp40s. is it crazy that i think it may not be enough flow?!?

( My OCD just kicked in and I just noticed how the mp40s are not level and it’s bothering the hell out of me)

YHSublime · Dec 10, 2019

Nope, not crazy! I’m considering some MP60’s for the upgrade.

They follow the rock work, looks fine to me!
