teenyreef Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 Dang, that's too bad, but I totally get how you feel. It's just not fun doing the work to keep up a tank if it just keeps going downhill anyway. I think a 12" cube would be nice, that's a great size for a small tank, not too big and not too small. I bet a fresh start would bring the fun back. Quote Link to comment

I threw together a scape real quick and I kinda like it: 3 Quote Link to comment
teenyreef Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 I like it too! Do it! Quote Link to comment
Reefkid88 Posted January 8, 2017 Author Share Posted January 8, 2017 I like it too! Do it! I think I will,it took me a whole 30 seconds to do it too lol. Sad thing is,a lot of coral won't make the cut for the new tank due to shortage of area on the bottom of the tank. So any locals here soon want any frags,let me know. 1 Quote Link to comment

lilmatty5dimes Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 I threw together a scape real quick and I kinda like it: I like the aquascape. Just make a huge zoa & acan garden. I've picked up a ton of new stuff. Wwc bounce, 3 JB, 10 more zoas, few chalices, sick blasto, and few rainbow acans. Yes about an hour from SanfordWhere are you located? I'm over by Titusville.

Everything will go into a 5g on the floor while the cube cycles in its place on the same stand. Good lord lol I know that thing has to be packed. Text me some pics. We need to work out a deal on the Bowsers. Im in Sanford between orlando and daytona. Quote Link to comment

Reefkid88 Posted January 15, 2017 Author Share Posted January 15, 2017 OK no rush I am not going any where Not a problem. It'll be a week or 2 until it happens. I'll PM you when it comes time. Quote Link to comment
Reefkid88 Posted January 19, 2017 Author Share Posted January 19, 2017 Do you guys think that if I am to set up a 2g holding tank for the corals,that if I use 1 gallon of fresh and 1 gallon of tank water,it would piss off everything ?! I'm just so over the tank and wanting to get things rolling. Once the holding tank is set up,everything that made the cut for the new tank will get cleaned and dipped VERY well,and continual dips of peroxide to hopefully take care of this horrible problem.

jedimasterben Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Ever bought a new coral? That was a 100% water change for that piece, and it was fine, so a 50% change isn't going to hurt anything 1 Quote Link to comment

I was thinking a brand new tank,new filter,new carbon 50% new water.. But I guess you're right. Quote Link to comment

I havent done a water change in 2 weeks. And haven't looked at the tank in a week. I threw together a scape real quick and I kinda like it: I just grabbed a fusion 10g with prime light, tunze nano, synergy ato container, rw-4, and neotherm heater for a zoa garden and shroom garden.

Reefkid88 Posted January 26, 2017 Author Share Posted January 26, 2017 Oh yeah ?!?! Nice dude,that's what's up. Get yourself a Jaw Breaker and make yourself some moolah !!! Half of my collection now is not going to make it to the cube,about 50% of my Acan's and 30-40% of my Zoa's are going in and that's about it. Everything else is getting trashed or sold. I am thinking about kicking the Betta out of the 2g and doing a SPS pico in the bedroom. AC20,RW4,bare bottom,and my other led light. Only money that I would spend would be on the sps themselves 1 Quote Link to comment
Nanofreak79 Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 Sucks, bro. I had a total shit storm happen to my 68........my tank and corals were so far gone I said #### it and took it down. Fresh start here. Maybe try and save yours though. Quote Link to comment
