Well here it goes. After selling darn near everything I own and shutting down my entire fish room thinking we were selling our house..... I think we have decided not to sell until things improve. The market was not great before COVID and now it's just getting worse. I'm sure it will do nothing but get worse in the near future. So I got bored without a hobby. I shut down a nice 210 gallon 7 foot reef, and a 6 foot 210 gallon FOWLR with fish room. Sold all my prized fish and equipment that I spent so much time acquiring. Truly sad days, but I also like the thrill of building a new system. I will be utilizing my water change system that is still currently built into my house to make things a lot easier.
I have decided to set up a smaller tank in the meantime, so that when we do eventually move to a new house, I can move it along with us while I set up another tank and fish room in the new house. I found a great deal on Kijiji for a Concept Aquariums made 100 gallon full setup. 48" X 24" X 20", one piece euro brace, external overflow, 2" steel stand, large sump, Bubble Magus Curve 7 skimmer, Jebao return pump, Coral Box wave makers, heaters, lights, rock, sand and cleanup crew all for $500.
Only downside was the condition of the front and side panels. It very well might be the most scratched up tank I have ever seen. But I (at that point) was not scared of a project. So I decided to replace the front and side panels.
Here is the tank when it got to my house:
And a close up of the scratches on the front panel:
