In April of 2015 we broke down the Clarity Plus to prepare for our daughter's next heart surgery. The tank was set up in 2003 and had already helped us through three of her surgeries.
The phosphates always ran a little high, the zoas a little brown but the Miracle Mud ecosystem was forgiving. We routinely ignored the maintenance, rarely did a water change and that's when it always look the best. That crazy tank was our family Dr. Phil just more expensive than he probably would have been. It was always there for us to get lost in. An all night gaze before the lights went out helped heal the heart & soul.
So fast forward... Happy to say our daughter is doing great (crazy blessed) and in October 2022 I talked my hot smokin' wife into setting up a tank for her cat! The Waterbox 25 Peninsula Gateway Tank has been coming along. Wife is addicted again as well so shouldn't be long!
I'll add more details and pics on what we have done with the Waterbox. With the hobby & technology changes over the last eight years I welcome any guidance or feedback.
Until then...
In memory of the Clarity Plus & the rest of the system still taking up space in my garage but ready to go...
