Well sorry to say, hadn't updated in a while but the tank had a catastrophic seam failure a couple of Sundays ago, around midnight, water everywhere electric popping.
Fortunately it stopped with about 10" of water left.
Big shout out to Cliff from Crystal Oceans in Pompano Florida who gave all my fish and coral a home in his farm tanks.
I kept 4 fish, 2 clowns, my favorite possum wrasse, and an aptasia eating filefish in my emergency set up IM 20 peninsula.
New tank is going through the uglies, but I'm getting ready to do a whole house renovation so I'm cleaning and packing away equipment to maybe start a new build in a year or two.
So sorry to hear about the seam failure and your losses

Thanks all for the condolences, it was rough for sure.
I'm still cleaning cataloging and organizing stuff to put away.

Amazing how much can get added on an almost 10 year old tank.
