About that picture. You really (not) play it safeMy best friend decided to show up, unannounced this afternoon, so we could keep each other company, and this is what she walked in to see
Pardon the mess and my super comfy, baggy lounge clothes!!! This is my most recently "established" build, and this area of the house is just off from the den/family room where the wood stove and 55g are.
This tank is coming along slowly, as it's the largest tank I've ever owned and I'm really taking my time.

Long sappy post starts here, so click away if you don't care, I won't be offended.

My best friend, Kristen, is a girl I ride motorcycles with, and her mom was a cancer patient who coincidentally became a patient at the practice where I work. I've known Kristen for years, but just met her mother about 6 months ago, after a hospitalization where she met the Doc I work for. Her mom was suffering greatly from a very aggressive cancer, and I was just talking about her at work yesterday.
Kristen's mom passed away at home with her today.
The last time I saw her, Kristen's mom cried and hugged me and just looked at me with a gratitude in her eyes I've never seen or felt before.
I am so very thankful for this hobby and all you guys keeping me company, sane, and finding something that gives me something uplifting to focus on. Something I am able to learn about at home and contribute to the mental health and joy my patients express when they come into a very scary place.
Ore tunze one. That is really hit my sweet spot since I have it.As much as I enjoy looking at your butt I’m buying you one of these

I'll see what I can do when I get home!wanna post a few good pics of seam ?
peeling silicone is mainly an eyesore,anything between panels would be a problem...
230 is a really size .I'll see what I can do when I get home!
It doesn't seem critical now, but I don't want to get to that point, either.
It's not an urgent matter currently, but I want to start putting away for an upgrade now and hopefully within a year or so I'll find one I really love.
While I was shoulder deep in the tank doing that last water change, I noticed spots of silicone starting to peel ever so slightly on the front right, vertical seam.
This makes me so anxious! This is an older tank that wasn't given the proper love and care it deserved. I am just worried about the seams bursting one day and I'm left with a huge disaster.
I think that means it's time to take a break from the live sales and start putting whatever I would have spent, away towards an upgrade.
Keeping my eyes peeled for a good local-ish deal on a better quality, used 120-180g. I can't afford to think about getting one new, as much as I would absolutely LOVE a new tank, that's just not financially feasible for me.
I will still be a live sale hype girl! And ready at the drop of the hat to help win GC!! But I'm gonna have to use some serious willpower not to buy any more coral until I can upgrade.
So much for the willpower.
