Well its been a few months since I've been here due to personal stuff but let me update y'all
In December ish maybe January my 40 gallon breeder sprung a leak while I was in class (minimal loss some coral I had up top due to lack of water for a while) however I took this as a sign from god to get a larger Aquarium so I went to my LFS and picked up a 94 Gallon tank and stand and hood combo from planet aquarium( I pray they are better at making tanks than cabinets) I also picked up 2 AI Prime pucks because my 70 amazon bar light just wasn't gonna cut it anymore so yay my corals are happier( not that I have many or nice ones ya know start small ) I got home while all my poor fish where having a brute can vacation I realized I forgot to buy new bulkheads( also Planet if you see this PLEASE USE STANDARD SIZED BULKHEADS ***) so had to wait to get it setup until next morning when I could brute forcing trying to figure out how and why planet drilled the stupid return and drain ones bigger than the other isnt 3/4 doesn't fit a inch couldn't find a bulkhead in a in-between size so there both 3/4 via redneck engineering got tank running put some of that Bottled bac in from fritz which i swear by got all my fish and coral in there and everything was happy
until my floor stopped handling the tank as of 3 days ago and my floor sunk a solid inch overnight luckily I'm fairly capable at construction work (not finish when I post pictures don't laugh I know the trim is hideous and my house is under total remodeling so my wall is currently just drywall no paint or texture) but the tank now lives in what was my guest bedrooms closest and I put a window into mine definitely not the fanciest thing yall will ever see but its better than my living room being a pool and I spend most my time at home in my room so I see my tank more which will make me more likely to properly maintain it I've got a bad habit of letting algae get a bit to far before I clean it because I just didn't enjoy the tank in the main room so yeah that's what all that happened ill post some pictures in a while ill also update this with list of the tank stock and my hopes and aspirations for the tank
