			 Well I'm trying to look at this as opportunity in disguise. I spent the afternoon converting the sump into a respectable DIY trickle filter. I am going to make this into a real sweet F/W set-up. Really have a thing for New World cichlids & I'm starting to think seriously about ordering a high end Flowerhorn. I will get back into reefing someday but of course BIGGER & Better

			 Sorry about your situation, but it's awesome you are trying something new... my biggest fear is to go away and have my tank bombed... no holidays for me I guess. 
		
	
		
		
		
		
		
	
		
		
	
	
	Flowerhorns are really cool. Golds in Calgary has two huge show quality makes. One is green and burgundy... what a fish!  |

			 I never could decide if Flowerhorns were gorgeous or grotesque lol. 
		
	
		
		
		
		
			
		
		
		
		
	
		
		
	
	
	I have had a fetish for Green Terrors for years but never grown one to maturity, perhaps now.......  |

			 Yeah the flowerhorns are different. It is awesome you have a new plan. If my tank crashed I would probably do fresh water as well. I have now noticed that there are some beautiful fresh water fish out there. The expensive ones, are cheap compared to my Achilles tang and other fish I have purchased. Good luck with the new plan and keep us posted.
