Once I realized I could keep them alive I wanted more. It’s why I have so many of some things. They survive and thrive I buy more! Minimum of pairs of everything

@BeltedCoyote did you see the free 90 go up on indmas today....?
Suspense....
I pick it up tomorrow at 9:30...
That's right, spent this evening moving my nem tank to make room for the 90...
Thinking predator tank...
Moved it to the west wall (opposite side of the room) where the art desk was, shifted the art desk and the 20H down so it would fit. 90 will go where nem tank was.I didn’t. Makes me think I should check those forums more often...
where’s the nem tank going? And more importantly, what predators we talking?
I'm going to need to drill it. It will be a couple month project.
Let their be reef! You shoulda done a tank move ask on r2r. Nvr know if enough locals will answer your call. We coulda done a shopping spree with that credit. Lol!
Congrats on the progress.

Ever drill a tank? I've done 1. Should be a fun experience. Been 18 years since I have.let me know if you need an extra pair of hands. Also curious to see how you plan to stock this one

Thinking either a community fish only or predators, smaller lionfish, eel, scorpionfish, anglers, something along those lines.
Ultimately I am going to let my fiance pick out the "theme" she loves picking stuff...
Sketching is helpful but it's hard to get a good feel for the 3D aspect in a sketch. Unless you are really good... I am not haha. I also found that looking at some examples and then as weird as it sounds letting the rocks guide you works best. The rocks will fit together in a certain way... not always the way we envision.I have not. But I’m a lifelong student lol
id vote dwarf lions and an eel. But it was lions that started this two and a half decade long odyssey so I’m biased.
sounds like a good plan though. And it’ll likely end up being a great tank anyway
Edit: regarding our scape session. Would it help if I tried to sketch out what I’m thinking?

J you've definitely got the mindset of an artist.Sketching is helpful but it's hard to get a good feel for the 3D aspect in a sketch. Unless you are really good... I am not haha.

I might have some extra test kits... I'll check what came in my goodie box today.So another small update.
did a thing today (I’ll ad pics later). I now own a 54g tank and another stand for a 40b (same footprint). I also got a small power head and a small ac pump. Power head for mixing saltwater. Pump for water changes.
this way if, for some reason, the sump
@F i s h y is grabbing for me from @fishguy242 doesnt fit in my stand, I have a 40b for a sump and the 53g for a spacious qt tank. Or Vice versa. And eventually I’ll let the kiddo use one of the tanks for her goldfish.
(or I’ll have myself another tank for a predator tank or maybe a macro tank...ya’ll are a bad influence hahaha)
Edit: for now I plan on setting up the 53g and bringing over the hob filter and all of my biomedia (and qt decorations) from the 40b. This should provide enough bacteria for the tank to be “cycled” right away. Then it’ll be moving the clowns and my little foxface over to the new tank. After that I’ll drain the 40b and move it and it’s stand to the new house.
Once my 120 is set up and cycled I’ll decide what I want to do with the 53g
as of now, all that remains missing for my dt is:
-getting my RoDI up and running.
-acquiring plumbing pieces. And plumbing the tank
-acquiring a brute for water mixing
-getting some gfci wall adaptors
-getting my aquascape sorted
-moving the rest of my stuff over the the new house (both returns, skimmer, lights, sand, and my other gyre)
-oh and getting my testing kit situation sorted. Figure I can do that a little more slowly as I’m planning on letting my tank cycle at least a month.
-at some point getting some maricultured rock and adding it to the system
Probably seems like a lot, but to me, after the past two years, this is the final stretch. I’m so close I can smell the saltwater lol
