No reef tank blues

Where to start?

About two months we had a contract to sell out home. So like any reef junky I waited as long as I could to take down my 75 gal tank. Which I have had running for 10 years.

About 15 days before we closed on the sale of the house I bagged up my 6 fish and 33 corals. I sold them to people on my local forum and completely dismantled the aquarium. 5 days later the people buying our house decide they can't afford the house and cancel the contract.

To the people that love this "addiction" that we have know how I feel. So now all I can do is plain my new 220 gallon tank build and continue looking at your tanks on here. Sorry for the complaining just wondering what any of you would do in this situation to get your "reef fix"?

I made a cookie jar nano when I was between tanks. It was pretty enjoyable, almost like a bonsai tree or a zen garden. A rock, a few zoas and mushrooms, and some sand. Couple of snails and that was it.

I ran a nano until we got settled into our new house. Kept me from getting too antsy

The bad thing is all my aquarium stuff is in a storage unit with most of the thing from the house. We decided not to move everything back in while we try to sell the house. It a 20'x20' storage unit filled to the brim with no way of knowing where everything is.
