It's Just a Tank

Maybe run on cruise control for a few months ?
Thats not possible. @OrchidMiss gets it. Electric bill is over 450 this month last month 300. And the ac doesnt run too much, but now it is. Im cooked.

Duplicates, but the pics can speak for themselves.
 
As someone who just took down a tank, I can't argue with your reasons, but it would be a massive shame to lose you!
I think at this point, it's going to take an act of God. But, hopefully never comes to that.

We have had some serious ups and downs in springfield, and the best reef store in town, decided to not close. A part of me understands. But now, I found a nice place that ships in our area that has pretty gonis.. So, now it's a matter of getting over prices of living.

I want to give more to my childred, and 100+ going to the energy company, They seem to have a monopoly in our area... Monopolies are bad!
 
Apparently missed all of August. Caught up! Don't go, err, away! Who will I tag for trachy and angry pectinia posts? Sam?? He doesn't know them like you do (sorry @Slocke , you still have the effortless acro growing niche though!)

I hear you though. Expense of running a tank just keeps going up. My doggie is running a vet bill at >$6K right now (we'll see how much I can claw back from insurance). At some point something's gotta give. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
 
So ots been a long while. Eli had passed away late january. I'll never know why as I wouldnt even have known how to autopsy. Could it have been related to her tail injury?

And this one.... has killed many. 5 gonis, 2 or 3 acropora, holy grail torch.
