Over the years, I've had many tanks, from large to small, from kit in a box to full custom. I've enjoyed most of them throughout that time, but I feel over the years I've become to hyper focused on the right equipment and lost sight of what makes the hobby great. THE ANIMALS!
So I had my 200 gallon SPS tank that has now been up for about a year. It was doing excellent and having a ton of success, until I started trying to "fix" a number, even though the tank was great. My fix ended up crashing my corals, causing an algae bloom, and having the tank break out in crazy algae. My fault, but very frustrating. During this time, my wife and I welcomed our new baby girl to our family, so that caused the tank to become even more neglected. This made me so frustrated with the tank and I thought about draining and starting from scratch, but instead, I'm going in a new (yet old school) direction. I've decided to setup a new tank in our living room (SPS reef is in our office) and I've sold my old system. What are the guesses on the system? I've dropped a couple hints and here is the pallet in my garage a couple weeks back. This party is getting started.
