Sorry to hear that you are giving this up. I didnt know you had a tank

btw.... can you tell us the story behind this...''Lost all my corals due to a soap incident while I was on my honeymoon over 3 years ago.''

BarbMazz · 03-28-2008, 08:52 PM

Sorry to see you have to let it go. Hope your back is recovering okay, Travis.

lcstorc · 03-28-2008, 08:52 PM

Sorry to hear you are giving up the tank.
Please don't give up on us as well.

tbittner · 03-28-2008, 08:54 PM

Travis is just making room for a 300g tank...

Very sad to see it go though, I'm sure.

If it would make you feel better and know that your urchin went to a good home, please do feel free to send it to me. I'm getting close to finishing up a huge home for such wonderful creatures.

In the mean time, it could live in my 120 for a few more weeks.

Sorry to scare anyone... No, RS is not going anywhere. I haven't done anything but top off that tank for years now, so not much has changed except there's not a 180gal. monkey on my back anymore.

RS is my tank now, and has been for a while. Good thing is, you guys don't die when the power goes out.

Got a call while deep sea fishing 20 miles off of Key West...

"I poured that water in the tank and now it's foaming over."

All the fish died, the corals never really recovered and slowly died off from that point.

Everything was in a 55 at that point but transferring it over to the 180 didn't help.
