Thank you for the kind words and welcome to the thread. I am on the fence right now between nem and LPS or a full blown leather softie tank.Spent an hour+ reading through your build thread - amazing scape, setup, lighting, DIY skills, and more! Sorry to hear about the SPS crash and glad you’re rebooting. My SPS tank is a little over 3yrs and I’m always concerned about waking up in the morning with white skeletons. Looks like you are surrounded by great reefer friends!
Following along — if you’re bored like me, nem & LPS tanks are cool too! Good luck
Honestly the SPS crash was so heartbreaking, I felt like I was finally in my stride when it comes to reefkeeping. Watching it wither away was really rough and was almost enough to make me just get out of the hobby. Thankfully only time was really lost, 95% of the coral in the tank, to include lots of high end sps all came from fellow reefers in the area that I have been friends with for 10+ years now. I'm sure they would answer the call should I request some frags again but I don't think my current light setup is there for SPS and I really don't like the idea of fiddeling with it now (I really like the kessils mounted up high). We shall see tho.
