Ehh been busy, a lot of life changes, divorce mainly lol; finally settling down and getting back to reefing.

I pulled the trigger and bought a new tank! Going to use a UNS 60a( AIO ) for a nano. I have this really nice stand from my high tech freshwater setup that it fits perfectly on.

Divorce- I could not be happier and am able to buy what I want without permission
Hopefully for the best
If you’re not aware, innovative marine has a 15g AIO for $99 which is more than a giveaway

That makes sense

Some bad news, someone stole my dry live rock I had sitting outside for two years

Anyone have any wet live rock in the Bay Area? Preferably coraline coated

My tank will be here next week. Doing sand and hopefully a pair of clowns & BTAs eventually. I really liked and miss my clowns I had in my 40b.

Glad to hear from you old friend! I haven’t been up to Tahoe yet but I’ve been dying to go! I’ve been sort of stranded for awhile actually, I have Rod knock in my car which needs a new engine, there’s also part shortages and all sorts of hold ups with it. So a few more months and 10k then I’ll be back on the road. My girlfriend has a mini Cooper, idk if that will do well in blizzard conditions lol.

Rock, sand, heater, spin stream nozzle are ordered!

I’m excited!!!
I went with life rock arches and ocean direct sand this time.
I’m going to use one of my 360x’s from my previous tanks, my tunze ato, my 300-400gph water mixing pump as an upgraded pump on the aio.
I’ll probably have two mp10’s eventually but I’ll start with some jebao wavemaker while cycling most likely.
Doing a fishless Dr. tim’s cycle.
Goal for now is a mated clownfish pair and RBTA’s.

Good to see ya back. After my divorce it was a long road to rebuild

My 300zx popped head gaskets so now it just sits until I can take the time to get it done. Going to have a very busy first quarter next year so it might be awhile. I don't believe I did any other damage other than blowing a radiator hose. All I can do is look at my growing collection of motorcycles and cars. Need to thin the heard but no one is buying right now.
