I gave up a 110g in CA to move to CT late last year, but I more than made up for it with my new tank. I started with cycled water in January 2021 and the fish are doing great but the corals need patience, which I struggle with. Yes, I bought things I shouldn't have, but I was overconfident because the tank looked great. Then my heater failed. Then the powerheads failed. Then the tank overheated because we had a heatwave and I don't have A/C because I just moved here and didn't think I'd need it. So now I'm battling what looks like a 2nd mini-cycle and enough brown diatoms to start a company distributing them. Losing lots of SPS and LPS. Oh, well. It'll all get sorted and then I'll be buying livestock again. Turkey baster = reefer's best friend. Here to make local friends and find people to talk to about fish and corals who won't look bored and walk away.
Photos are from the initial setup; the tank is more mature now. I literally bought this place because it had a perfect spot for the tank, plumbed through the wall into the bathroom pipes for auto RODI ATO topoff and AWC. Now, if I could only grow enough corals to make the investment in the Trident pay off, I'd really be happy!
