I love my tank. My wife evens says more than the people around me.
It just worries me it will become a nightmare tank. Three Aiptasia stress me now. One that is taken down out of neglect is not what i want.
I never read your post before. Sorry things. Are not easy in the respect of your baby.
We were told our baby had a chance Of downs syndrome back in the beginning. And I guess it kinda hit me. Or crushed me. Things look ok in the pics now, but you never know until you meet them.
Maybe I am just having some anxiety. We all want the best and maybe i overplan for the worst.
Thanks for sharing.

We have to do daily maintenance for this, as well as learn and teach sign language. Since she came home, we've had a nurse in-house every evening to help out and make sure she keeps breathing.
I also have to keep the dogs busy, 2 border collies, and aussie and a pitbull. That's a lot of work. We're both involved in various dog sports, which take a fair amount of time.
Through all this, I've been able to keep the tank going, and often the tank is the thing that lets me chill at the end of the day. Keeping the tank comes down to "where there's a will, there's a way". I'm glad I have my tank, even those weeks I don't see it with the lights on. IMO, well worth the extra effort. Unless you're totally sick of corals, you'll miss it more than you hate it now 
And a small little child isn't going to disrupt your life unless you let them... |
