So I have an update about this tank....
IT'S MOVING HOME! My parents have decided to sell their house and now I have to move it by sunday. LOL my mom wanted me to move it tonight, Last time it took me 6 hours and it was only a 15min drive. So I have a busy sunday. Now for the horror story about this tank... Its been running skimmerless for the past month and a bit. In that time nutrients have spiked massively. With me away from the tank alot, it is in dire need of some love. So moving it home may be a good thing. Also the tank is being over run by aiptasia, I went over there this past weekend and found some flat worms (the evil red ones). On top of this, all the bulbs need to be replaced. Its looking like this will be a $500 kick in the balls unless I rip it down and sell it.

It's not all that bad, money is just a bit tight for another month. Sold my GSX-R last night so that relieved alot of stress.
Just wish I had time to build a better stand, and a new sump. But the wicked witch of the west wants it out of her house asap. Its a long story with her, she's not in my good books right now cause she wants to put my dog down (was informed about that as well). So I might take my dog (he has gained artritis in his hips), he is still very active.

Oh no its going to be a midday move so I am risking having someone from my condo board knocking on my door lol
But I have alot planned for the tank, I thought about selling it but it solves all of my "problems." I am basically going to bring it over and slap it together since I don't have the time to properly do what I want to. First thing is a new sump... funny thing is what I want is the same as the sump I built for the cube, if I knew this was going to happen I would have kept that one. Next will be skinning the stand. During this time period I will be spending alot of time on this tank cleaning it up and giving it some much needed TLC.

Well Just finishing up with the move, its been a long stressful 12 hours.
Lost alot of my sps. salvaged some frags of zoa's... its been a bad move and it didn't go as planned. Also lost my royal gamma and my potters, both were my favorite fish. This week will be stressful, fingers crossed that everyone makes it through the night. I'm out of salt, bulbs need to be changed, I need to clean up the wiring, hook up the ATO, add rock. Worst time for RC to be closed, dropped into a few other LFS but they didn't have what I was looking for. On the bright side I did have a laugh... it really shows where I live now HA
