sad to let it go...

[sharkboy]

well, as most of you know I got rid of all my livestock from rocks to fish to coral!!! Not sure where i am going from here but it was a little sad seeing it all go. It finally sunk in when the last of it went today...so I am left to ponder...what next? any ideas?

Not to dig but... I think most of us have been wondering why you have sold off most of your equipment and livestock. It is hard for us to offer a direction for you to go in knowing so little about your situation.

Regardless of your situation, a nano always fills those little spaces. I love nanos. You should get one!

With the money you'll be saving, you should take a trip - go to the beach, scuba, snorkel...
The reason I have a tank is that I cannot have the real thing at my fingertips... just a thought

Take up fishing, or come buy up all my stuff so I can go fishing. :D

[sharkboy]

don't get me wrong...not leaving hobby just need a new direction! I still have tons of equipment to large or small...probably going sps dominant! I have a 70 gal cube but not sure I want to start it up...maybe go a little bigger?

[g-ray]

I say go with a 125 like we talked about today

Take up booze and loose women. It's cheaper.

OK, that's a different story. If I would start over, I would definitely go with a rimless cube - if you have ever seen Invincibles369(?) tank, you'll know what I mean... at least a 150g - the aquascaping possibilities are awesome.

I go from a 500g+ systems the first 1/2 of this decade down to a 30g simple cube tank right now. I will start a 240 g tank in the future with enough room in the fish room for lots of refugium, sump and smaller tank that share the same sump. You will start again and it will get bigger.
Here is my 30 g tank

You can always come back bigger and stronger ,but for now you don't have to worry about PH swing,temp swing,high nitrate,STN,RTN, hair algea,heater acting funny,ich,skimmer going crazy,some mean hichiker,ATO won't shut off, and last but not least it's 3AM and what is that noise i just heard under the stand..etc..

You know, a short break may be in order. Refresh the mind, rekindle the spirit and alleviate the frustration known as a reef tank, lol.

LOL! It's funny how true that actually is...dreaming about leaks and waking up 3 or 4 times a night!!!

Thanks everyone for the input...at least I have some time to think it through and don't have to worry about livestock transfer....

Ha! Two weeks ago I heard a weird noise after I'd gone to bed. I got up and looked around, and found my blue spotted jawfish under my bed! I'm glad I heard him hit the carpet!

[sharkboy]

I don't know what to do with my spare time....
