I have grandkids too and understand how life constantly evolves and our priorities change. I hope to be snow-birding it sometime in the next 3 to 6 years which is why I haven't upsized my system and built the fish room I've always wanted. I guess when that time comes I'll be shutting down too. Good luck Bev, have fun with your new ventures.

I'm glad to see that the reefkeeping experience has been educational and passionate for you.

I don't foresee any regrets for you, as you can always start another reefkeeping journey when you're ready for one in the future .

Best of luck to you.

Bev, from someone who you gave indirect inspiration to, someone who was the pinnacle decision to me starting a tank, you WILL be missed. You've done so many great things and were the epitome of "low tech tank" - you will be missed, but it sounds like you're going off to bigger, better and more important things.

Good luck to you, and here's a tipped hat to one of the masters.

Man alive, when you put it that way, you almost convinced me to quit the hobby too

Tony, that was not my intention

I look forward to seeing your new videos.

Jim, they'll be awhile in coming. Am still waiting for stuff from OZ, Singapore, the US and the UK. But you guys will be some of the first to see them

Thanks for sharing all your experiences with us for so many years.

Thanks, Anthony

andsoitgoes, Wow! I never thought I had much sway around here with all the hi-tech tanks people have going. Your kind words touch me deeply.

Anyway, I do have a buyer for the tank, but he's a newbie. I'll offer him as much advice as I can to get him started and to keep him going.

The tank is scheduled to be picked up on Good Friday. Man, it's going to be a joy cleaning that spot where the tank used to be for so long The new owner is going to give us a deposit today, and we're going to load him up with all the stuff that can be transported before the tank setup and livestock go.

The finches and their aviary are also spoken for. The new owner has been a friend for over 25 years (!!!) and she has a reasonable amount of experience having kept finches for at least 4 years. She and her husband are going to Turkey until the end of May, so in early June our finches will be at their new home.

Don't know how we're going to utilize all the new space, but I'm sure we'll manage somehow
