My wife moved my tank...

[Townes_Van_Camp]

She moved my 6 year old IM 14 peninsula. I had digitata growing a mm from the surface. Monti cap, cyphestrea, digitata, multiple zoas growing off the glass. I've fragged it out and watched it grow back in three times now.

She torqued the tank dragging it across the room while I was at work. About 6 inches of the rhoght front from the top down is leaking...

A picture from right before it went nuts

oh no.....why would she move it? sorry to hear about this

 

[GlassMunky]

That’s a reason for divorce right there

 

[MoshJosh]

Sorry to hear that man! I am always telling wife not to move my aquarium stuff. . . but she does anyway. . . and she has definitely moved my stand/aquarium to rearrange the living room!

Again sorry to hear this happened to you!

 

[Cichlid Dad]

Oh no, my tanks are way to heavy to move, so I won't have to talk to my wife about doing it to my systems

 

[blecki]

Have you asked the LFS if they will give you any trade in credit for your wife?

She decided to turn the room it was in, into her home office. She just, started, moving, things...

She had no idea. She was proud of herself. Took me in the room to show me how she set it up and from across the room I saw a spot in the seal that didn't look right. There was a big glob of salt creep on the outside of the seam.

I'm proud of my self control at this moment. I haven't screamed. Nor have I cried. But I wanna do both.

That’s crazy….

You haven’t been married or not married long enough. That’s a reason for a very large tank. Super slim window of opportunity right there for OP. Lol

I’ve been married for 5 years and together for over a decade.
We met through fishkeeping.
And when we moved into our new house we setup a 220Gal.

Bright side , excuse for a bigger tank...

When we started dating I had a 90G tank and a 40Breeder.
If either were moved without speaking to me that would have ended the relationship for sure tho lol



Relationships are built on communication, and that’s the important part that was missing from the OP story.

He may want to let her see some tears... would be helpful

exactly this

 

[Reefer911]

Sorry to hear man. Let us know how it goes. We want to see the new tank!

 

[WhatCouldGoWrong71]

Why is he still there?

Next!

This is the dilemma.

I live in a 1963 mid century modern. I have long thought that a 3' x3' x 2.5' with a center or corner overflow would be quite appropriate in the bar/lounge.

But I have so much other stuff to do. This little tank near zero effort.

A new awesome tank means more uglies, special deliveries of sand from the coast, angry UPS drivers negotiating the 5 gal bucket of salt in a 6.5 gal box. I don't know if I can do all of that again.

No this isn't a build thread to be.

 

[Townes_Van_Camp]

I have everything in the tub. Heater and power head. I have to figure out a safe wat to mount the light tonight.

 

[Reefering1]

Of coarse you can do it again. It won't be completely starting over, you have healthy seasoned rocks to seed with. Yes more deliveries and some work up front but it will cruise through the stages

I'd hire a good lawyer and toss her to the curb, unless you have kids then I'd give her a one time pass My Gal would never even feed my tanks much less move one.
