Reef tank burn out

[MarineTeng]

o a thought, if you move yours to a new tank make it a wider one so you can have even more fun with the rock work, your tank is looking good though

ive been in the hobby about a year and i have learnt so much and ive become fish tank mad i cant get enough i like your tank it has a lot of potential i would maybe suggest less rock in there might be good aquascaping is fun i love doing it in my bedroom tank but its hard in my display so much coral to move and shift its good to hear your not stopping who needs a car when petrol is $1.50 a LITER

Ron: Large water changes are not a issue if you have a large mixing tank. I do 150 gal WC now and it is easy. I just have to stay close so I can watch it fill. I have a pic on here somewhere of my WC setup. I do not have the bigger tank yet. After how much money I lost on Wed it may be a while.

 

[ronj]

that's alot of water...do you have an R/O unit???? hope you get the tank soon..i'd like to see some pics of it, and your wife's face when you get it...lol..

 

[Brenden]

Yes I use only RO/DI water. I was kidding with Melissa the other day about getting a wet suit so I could clean the tank if I ever get it.

Snorkeling/diving in your own house. That would be cool..

I wanted something smaller & easier to take care of .

Same here, I'm going to sell my 150gal (anyone want a 150g tank? )and downsize to a:

30g main
20g fuge
20g frag tank
10g tank (to grow and sell small star fish)
and a 20g sump

and to make it a little more fun, I'll TRY to do a DIY skimmer and cal reactor.

Soooo.......It will be a lot of fun(and just a little $$$)

Just thought I would add a more recent pic. and a question. Would I be able to add some sps and maybe a clam to the tank? I'm running a 175 watt 10k mh on a 29g.

Really nice looking tank! No need to leave the hobby

 

[dmbfreek]

Thanks krish!

Tank looks too good to give up on. I agree with Ed...go to a meeting with others in the hobby or go visit some other peoples tanks. That always seems to inspire me when I start to slow down a bit. For those that know me they know I have been working on trying to replace my 50g with a 180 that is just dragging along. I notice though that when I go look at other tanks or even just visit a nice LDS I suddenly get a spurt of ambition and do a little bit more.

 

[dmbfreek]

That's funny I acually have an extra 180g acrylic tank in my basement sitting on end, hmm, maybe gave me a good idea! My wife want's me to use it for my Shovel nosed catfish but I could probably talk her out of it. 180 reef?

 

[Krish]

I could probably talk her out of it. 180 reef?

Sounds good to me!!!! 180 reef and covert that 29gal into a fuge! So when ya getting started???

 

[dmbfreek]

Well, I'll have to see if the upstairs floor would support the weight of the tank. I'm thinking an in wall set up. Here's the beast now!

 

[Krish]

I could never have something that big sitting in my house empty:shock: I'd have to set that up!(LOL)

 

[dmbfreek]

Yeah but think about the cost from going from a 29g to a 180g. I think i'll have to get a loan.

 

[Krish]

LOL...Yeah, the hobby does get a bit expensive. Just stick with the 29gal for now and see how it goes

 

[dmbfreek]

So if I did get the 180g up and running and got burned out of it could I blame it on you?

 

[Krish]

LOL...If you want(LOL) Better yet, you can just send me the tank and I'll get it out of your sight!
