++1 on don't sell. Losing a tank is devastating but the pain passes and the desire to be in the hobby returns. Just look at Rothany, he had a beautiful volcano tank and his ex girlfriend dumped bleach in it and killed everything. He was ready to quit, but he stuck it out, rebuilt, and has an awesome tank again. Retreat, regroup, rebuild, return!!
to quote a very wise man
When I first came here, this was all swamp. Everyone said I was daft to build an aquarium on a swamp, but I built in all the same, just to show them. It sank into the swamp. So I built a second one. That sank into the swamp. So I built a third. That burned down, fell over, then sank into the swamp. But the fourth one stayed up. And that's what you're going to get, Lad, the best aquarium in all of England.
or maybe not lol
