Good morning everyone. Hopefully I shall have pictures of my haul later today. Still figuring out how I can fit everything in & have room for growth but we shall figure it out.

No it won’t fix your situation , and your stand has to handle the weight , but in the long run it will be helpful . How long have you had this problem ?
Im seriously glad you're here CB. It's been really sad to watch Cam ask questions about his tank and no one ever seems to offer him any advice!
 
My apologies for my absence everyone.
In September, my wife and I put the Cafe up for sale.
Our lease was coming due and neither one of us could physically, mentally or spiritually even think about doing it for another 5 years.
We had an interested couple, and, to keep it short, they bought it and took over December 1st.
It was months of negotiations and I'm still training in the kitchen trying to get them there without much luck.
It has been probably the most trying experience I've ever been through, emotionally draining since the Cafe is our baby. We started it with nothing.
Anyways, I'll try and get up to speed with y'all as much as I can.
I've accepted a new position as sous chef at a high end golf course slightly out of town so I'm working 4 doubles a week and it's wearing me out.
Love you all and miss y'all.
Just thought I'd let you know.
Carry on.
Peace ✌️

Pithos crabs are preferred to Emerald - less likely to go rogue.

Yeah I will never get another Emerald crab. My dude got a taste of the LPS goods. I had two in my tank & I had enough food for both as well but they do be crazy. One was fine, the other loved to pick at the flesh of my duncans.
