Where do I begin,
Well I took about half a year off from reefing. Got married in October and didnt have time to worry about my reef tank. So I sold everything, enjoyed my wedding and my honeymoon to Maui without any worries of an Apex alarm going off on my phone.
2 weeks ago, searching on craiglslist for rimless tanks cuz I was bored. Found a brand new cobalt cvue 40 still in the box for 225 bucks 15 minutes away from my house. So i text the guy, and picked it up the very next morning. Wife wasn't too thrilled that I wanted another system due to the electrical bill costs on the last 2 I had pryor.
5 days ago, Went to home depot and bought 1000 sq ft of vinyl waterproof flooring. The laminate flooring I had before had taken a beating from salt water and 2 puppies learning how to be potty trained. That floor only made it 4 years. So I went with the good stuff this time. Installed it in 3 days by myself.
Today, Moved DIY stand into house from an old fish tank, layed some vapor barrier foam down that I had laying around from flooring, took out the the Cvue40 from the box and put it in place. Finally I have a tank in my home again. It feels good. It may be a few weeks before I get the tank wet, I need to finish painting the front room baseboards, trim, & doors. Renovate my stairs, & finish the baseboards in the kitchen before I start on the tank.
I Will keep Y'all posted on what happens next.
