So you commented on my build thread so I know you're still on R2R, but...everything going okay, regardless of tank?

Sam is always around on the forum. Even so much she does not have the time to finish her own build.

Alright guys. As many of you will understand first hand, it’s been a difficult last few months (to say the least). I won’t get into sappy details and all that. Long story short, I’ve had a few setbacks and the tank is still dry. I don’t know when that will change, but until I have a steady paycheck among other things (assuming things go back to “normal” eventually) there’s really no point in moving forward. When that changes you’ll be the first to know! Thank you all for your interest and inquiries, it helps. I hope you are all doing well and staying safe! <3

Thanks darling, good luck to you too. But technically, I do have a job, I'm just on somewhat of a forced semi-hiatus. I work at a music school and we're holding onto the hope that our students who left in March will return someday (soon hopefully). If not it's goodbye to another small business. Chaotic times. Good luck to you, you know I'm intently watching your build!

I just scrolled through this whole thread and I am super duper impressed with your skills. I hope things work out soon and you get to get this thing wet already! 2020 has been such a **** show. And I'm sorry for your loss of Vinnie. He was such a gorgeous cat! Thanks for still hanging out on R2R and giving me advice! I can't wait to see your tank continue one day.

Aw thanks hun, he truly was as gorgeous as they come, inside and out! You’re welcome, until I have a tank of my own I look forward to following along your progress, looking great so far!

Hey @samnaz do we have similar problems with our builds? I have mine going strong with improvements almost daily but I’m still looking for a house to rent where I can keep reef tanks until I get this thing wet and get livestock in it.
