Although this was my goal for 2005 and 2006, mine this year is to get my 280 going. I know how you feel about gathering equipment since the last millenia. In my case it's not actually an exagerration.

Time and better organizational skills maybe.

Everything else, reef-tank-goal-wise else that is, is as you put it, pretty Mickey Mouse. I want my basement developed and the walls up and then I can put water in that stupid thing. I had hoped that December would be my month with some time off in there but family plans changed that.

My resolution is to get rid of atleast one tank. I want to build a 300 for my mappa and move my cowfish in with him cause he is starting to get huge, I thought a 120 would be good for a cowfish I was wrong. Then I want a metal halide so I can start fraging my corals instead of just keeping them.The cowfish is starting to become non reef safe now that she is getting big she is into everything.

To finish restocking my 150g. I've also been gathering equipment to have a better running setup, so to get all these things up and running. And like Chin get a disaster plan set up.

I have a sumpless 55G tank right now, and it drives me mad. My goal is to somehow build a new stand and canopy (I have zero DIY skills) and incorporate a sump into my set-up.

I also want to learn more about the actual chemistry of reefkeeping. It seems insanely over my head, but I'd like to give it a shot.

I want to get my big tank back into better shape, the sps have not done well recently. I also want to clean up the plumbing mess and replace the sump/refugium with one that is easier to access and will hold a bit more water (still trying to figure out a good design for the limited space available). My small tank will be getting moved later this year when we repaint the house. I just want it to survive that and look as good as it does now.

My goal for 07 - is to finally get the new frag system up and running. Tanks have been here for friggin months, stand - hopefully soon, pumps and much of the bits n peices are already here... Just need Stand / final assembly / plumbing - and probably gotta start building those DIY tunze-esque waveboxes.

Then comes the fun of stocking em I have a feeling those Left-coasters are gonna see more of me than they want
