I have six tanks, so nothing is ever finished....
Picked up a IM 25 lagoon to combine my 2 temperate tide pool tanks (running two chillers is killing me) Found a stand online, went to pick it up and came home with a basically new RS170... so downsizing didn't happen...
So massive fail...

Finishing the upgrade on my tank. I had setup a spare 40 gallon breeder with a canister filter to house some new coral and some rock for a planned 100 gallon tank I was going to make with a sump. Unfortunately, about a month out from purchasing said 100 gallon tank, my 14 gallon main display busted a seam, and then the next day both of our vehicles went down.

Super bad luck, right now I'm stuck with the 40 gallon breeder and canister, but hoping here in March 2023 I can finally do my upgrade. Tank is doing surprisingly well though for being a canister, everything growing and thriving, so I am lucky there.

Still unfinished: plumbing and equipment upgrades, as well as tank refinishing

Time, need more time... do think my Reef Diapers (disposable socks) give me more time, but I've also enjoyed finding I can rip them apart and salvage LOTS of amphipods and at least 1 starfish each sock change... so they are also gift of life! TIME AND LIFE SAVINGS!! Thank you Secret Santa!! (hugs)

I still have my cable management project to finish and get everything mounted properly in my stand. Get the dosers hooked up. Upgrade my lights. Clean out the back chambers in both tanks. Get the new heater installed in the nano. Give the skimmer a citric acid bath. Clean up the fish room, I mean laundry room. So much to do!

I would like to add a 2nd sump, and return pump. My tank has dual overflows and the one return pump is split into the 2 overflows with a T, so I’m losing a lot of head flow to the further side of the tank. Any ideas or suggestions to take into consideration, before I start this project, would be greatly appreciated!

- Installing my GHL ION Director that I received at the beginning of the year. But to install that, I need to:

- Install two additonal GHL Switchbars that I bought in 2021.
- Install the GHL Doser 2.1 that I bought in 2021.

And to do the two things above, I need to:

- Review and redo a lot of the wiring on the system.

I really really was planning on doing all of the above in 2022 :confused:.

So now I'm really really planning on doing all of the above in 2023! ;).

For me it's my control space.... gave it a few good tries this year, but it's quite the jigsaw puzzle trying to fit all those plugs and tech in, and I'm afraid it's still ended up like a rat's nest of cables :zany-face:

I never got the glass scraped clean on the garage tank. It's been look down only for a couple of years and the algae is so thick it will take hours, and many days to clean off the panels so that they can
