Clavius85 Posted October 7, 2010 Author Share Posted October 7, 2010 Awesome tank, it's been a great inspiration to me. Keep up the good work. I'm getting my solona 34 in one week! Thanks! Good luck with your tank! Link to comment
Clavius85 Posted October 8, 2010 Author Share Posted October 8, 2010 Well, after thinking about it for several weeks I've decided to sell this entire setup. It has been a fun ride. But I'm going back to college next semester to finish my degree and I'm afraid that I won't have time for the tank. Link to comment
MedRed Posted October 8, 2010 Share Posted October 8, 2010 Where did that come from!!!!!??????????? Head assplode Link to comment
Clavius85 Posted October 8, 2010 Author Share Posted October 8, 2010 It was a hard decision to make. But I feel that I made the right one. I'm not out of the hobby for good! I plan on getting back into it after I graduate college and get a "real" job. Maybe then LEDs will be the standard for lighting. My dream tank is a 40b with a sump. I can't wait to someday setup that tank. But until then I think I will focus my attention on my little low-tech freshwater planted setup. Link to comment

MedRed Posted October 8, 2010 Share Posted October 8, 2010 You did not run this by me first, and for the record, I don't approve. Therefore you are not allowed to break your tank down. Deal with it. Link to comment
jae4571 Posted October 8, 2010 Share Posted October 8, 2010 Well I hate to see anyone leave especially a fellow Solana owner. PM me if your interested in selling your vortech or the trim kit for your solana. Best of luck in all you endeavors! Link to comment

I love my Solana but my dream tank is a 40b. So hopefully in a few years I will be able to setup that tank. At the moment I'm only selling things locally. But if I can't sell some things here then I will consider shipping them. Link to comment
Clavius85 Posted October 11, 2010 Author Share Posted October 11, 2010 Only thing left is my clowns, purple firefish and a few miscellaneous corals... Link to comment

Clavius85 Posted October 16, 2010 Author Share Posted October 16, 2010 All livestock sold except for the clowns. Hope to sell them tomorrow. Then it'll be time to break down the tank and sell everything else. Link to comment

Thanks man. I'll be back in it in a few years. Hopefully by then LEDs will have taken over! Link to comment
Clavius85 Posted October 18, 2010 Author Share Posted October 18, 2010 Still gotta sell the clowns. But other than that this tank is ready to be broken down. However, I was unable to leave the hobby entirely. I just ordered another JBJ 3g Picotope. The first one I had I traded for frags awhile back. I have this equipment that I don't want to sell (Tunze Osmolator, ReefKeeper Lite, Vortech MP10) but I also don't want to leave it all sitting in a box. So I decided to setup a pico. I'll be starting it as soon as the tank arrives, hopefully in a day or two. I'll take some live rock, water and sand from my Solana to set it up. You can follow the progress of it through the link to my build thread in my sig. Link to comment
Clavius85 Posted October 25, 2010 Author Share Posted October 25, 2010 Well I sold my clowns today along with the Sunpod. The clowns were all that was left of my livestock. Sad to see them go but they went to a bigger home. A 180g tank cared for by a nice couple. All that I have left is the live rock and sand which I will leave submerged until another reefer comes to pick it up on Tuesday. This tank was a lot of fun and I learned quite a bit. I'd like to think that overall it was a success. A shadow of its former self: Link to comment
Clavius85 Posted October 27, 2010 Author Share Posted October 27, 2010 Sold all of the rock, sand and most of the water today. I went ahead and removed the rest of the water and dumped it. Tomorrow I will begin cleaning the tank. Link to comment
