As I mentioned in other threads, I thought I was getting out of the saltwater hobby and had converted my C-250 to freshwater.
But, that didn't last long. I recently moved my freshwater fish to a different tank and have been getting my tank set back up for saltwater.
I've actually switched to new pumps, changed back to Steve's LEDs for saltwater, and given the tank a really thorough cleaning.
I also moved it from its old location to a new one my wife thought she preferred (read less central in our house). However, now that I've moved it there, I think she's having second thoughts mainly because of our kids being used to it where it was. So, we will see if I end up moving it back.
BTW, if you do move an aquarium, I highly recommend one of these furniture lifters and furniture sliders. They make it super easy.
Regardless, I'm waiting for her to decide where she wants it and someone to help me with the AquaScape and then I'll start the cycle. I enjoy getting these tanks going, so it should be fun.

My longer lived first saltwater tank is here:

Here is a picture of its current state. Isn't it impressive how it sits there like that? So much potential!!!
