Your tank looks very good, you should be proud of it and in time it will only mature with more grow.

Thanks!
I took two small pieces of gsp and did my waterchange.
When the top of the tank was empty I put a drop of superglue on each piece. I put one in a high flow area (it took off) and one in a low flow area. (it survives but hasn't grown.) I'd love to have my whole back wall covered but I don't have enough flow. I'm using the Koralia nano power heads.

So I'm now entertaining the idea of an 80 gallon tank...hahhaa (matter of time)
now to find a contractor out here to see if my floor can deal with 1000lbs of fish tank.

It wouldn't be set up for another 6 months or so as there is too much going on and I love my biocube but I think it's time to start hunting for glass. I'm looking at either the 80gallon fluval osaka or the 60 gallon solana. If I have to go new it will be the solana otherwise I don't buy that stuff retail EVER.
a couple bucks a gallon is all I like to pay for a non specialty fish tank.

Well, I just finished hauling in a 75g tank which I picked up on canreef for my upgrade from 34g tank. The 34 is actually a really nice size, however the 75 is kinda the sweet spot for me.

Now I'm curious if my floor can handle that much water...
Does anyone know how to determine how much weight the floor can handle?

the heat wave nuked most if not all of the coral in my tank yesterday
looks like I lost 80 percent coral 2 snails and my new cleaner shrimp.

If it's as rough as it seems I take the tank down. If some of the coral comes back (the leathers are ALL toast) I'll keep it running.

my tank spiked to 90 degrees over a 12 hour time frame. I ran a fan over the top and ice in the sump to try and bring it back but the damage looks like it's been done. I'm not sure if I should start over if I can afford the investment again. Plus the upgrades,or If I should flip a coin and part the tank out.

Im sorry Aysha.

Don't make your decision too quickly. Give it some time, you just had a major disaster and it can feel like too much. You may regret it later if you throw in the towel right away.
