Patience

[Reefnsail123]

I bought this aquarium 18 years ago. Due to crazy wife and subsequent divorce I’ve been dragging it around all this time. Finally set up. Stable water, filter, skimmer and as of yesterday lighting. But have now been waiting over 2 weeks for live rock/sand due to poor diving conditions in the Gulf of Mexico

Welcome back friend!

18 years? Was the divorce because she wouldn’t let you set it up? Tank over wife is dedication! Just joking. I’m glad you joined and you are finally able to get things going! Welcome to R2R!

I have come to appreciate that in this hobby, a 'lack of patience' is the root of all evil.

Welcome to R2R! Glad to have you with us. Keep us updated on your progress. A build thread in the "Members Tanks" section is a great way to document your progress and get some useful tips and tricks along the way. And you get a nifty banner for your profile. Win/Win.
