My original Florida plan got a little bit shaken up, and then something else happened and I decided to just broaden my horizons. Lancaster was our original plan a few years ago (before Covid), so I decided to revisit it and found it to be a good fit. I found am AMAZING house, albeit a bit on the smaller side, but in a really good neighborhood. I'm waiting on word back from my lender, but likely putting an offer out today or tomorrow depending on when I hear back from them. 2 Quote Link to comment

It is small, but it is in a great neighborhood. I'm probably going to have to do the nano in my living room and the frag tank in the (unfinished) basement, but I'll see what I come up with.

schgr.cube Posted October 7, 2022 Author Share Posted October 7, 2022 A bit of bad news, and a bit of good news. The bad: I lost the Dragon Soul torch I got from @YHSublime and the Golden Eyes chalice. Both had kind of rocky starts, and I was having issues overall with the tank when I added them, so I'm not too surprised. The good: My tank does seem to be coming into itself overall. I am getting actual color coming back from the things that were struggling before, and lots of great growth in my zoas and palys. I think the tank is getting stable enough for the SPS to be okay, so I should hopefully be out of the woods a bit. 2 Quote Link to comment

I have been renting or living in a family property that I don't have full control of for my entire adult life, so it will feel great to finally have control. And awful to have to be fully accountable for everything that goes wrong! 😓 1 Quote Link to comment
mdannyg Posted October 8, 2022 Share Posted October 8, 2022 Congrats on the house, it looks great. It is great to be able to have everything in your house how you want it. I always thought when I bought a house I would do some major 100 gallon tank upgrade, but when I actually did buy I ended up downsizing just to have a bit less to deal with. 😌 Quote Link to comment
YHSublime Posted October 12, 2022 Share Posted October 12, 2022 Sorry to hear you lost the Dragon Soul man! I've started growing out a collection of torches, but the Dragon Soul is a mega producer, so I should have more heads by the time you're ready to try again. Also, home ownership is fun, until it's not, lol. I also thought I was going to go huge, but I've found that moderation is 80 gallons. 1 Quote Link to comment

And yeah, I have always waited to do a larger tank until I had a "permanent" home, but for me that is still likely less than 70 gallons or so lol. I might not even have the room for it in this house anyway, so I may just have do to a 20-30 gallon as my "upgrade" with the 50 gallon frag tank in the basement. 19 hours ago, YHSublime said: Sorry to hear you lost the Dragon Soul man!

Its alright, I have had a few random losses lately, but I'll let you know when I'm ready to try again. And yeah, I'm sure I'll regret this to some extent eventually, but it will be worth it! 3 Quote Link to comment
schgr.cube Posted November 7, 2022 Author Share Posted November 7, 2022 So a bit of a change coming.... I have been having a few issues with the closed loop system that have been frustrating, and have also been thinking about moving the tank into the new house.... I decided it was just easier to set up a new tank at the house and transfer things over, and set the 45u up as something else (either a FW planted tank or leave it dry until I have the time and courage to drill the bottom for a hidden equipment setup). Either way, I picked up an Innovative Marine 20 gallon that is dirty and missing the pump for $50, so I'll be shifting things over into that for now. 4 Quote Link to comment

schgr.cube Posted November 14, 2022 Author Share Posted November 14, 2022 Well, thanks to @YHSublime pulling through AGAIN for me, I have a new tank in my possession. I am working on the stand layout right now, and will make a new thread once I have some details ready to share! 😱 1 Quote Link to comment

Looking forward to the update though !! Yeahhh, I'm kind of bad at keeping up with projects until they are done....or mature in this case. Hoping that owning a house will allow me to do that, as I've always been hesitant about the "next" stage of things. I probably could have just moved the UNS tank up here, but it's too much stress with things already being problematic. 2 Quote Link to comment

I don't necessarily mind the Kessil overall, but I do prefer the flexibility I get from other units. I may either try to swap the Kessil for/toward a Radion or a Hydra (and then upgrade to Luxdium). I'd rather have one unit than two Primes overall. Quote Link to comment
