Bumping- Any new progress?

You guys and me both need updates

Anyway, I had to bump the fishtank progress again due to unforeseeable circumstances. Reefone came by to help me out with fixing the quarantine/frag/fuge tank, but we are now stuck in the middle of that project.

I got a bunch of milled 7" square heatsinks for my custom 150watt LED modules back from a local machinist. Gonna work on that sometime soon. I'm probably going to switch drivers from Meanwells to som ELDO LED drivers because of DALI dimming controls and greater efficiency. Gotta build a light rack soon ...

Your patience will pay off in every way.

Any updates?

Well I have had to take the tank down because of a crack. Fortunately there was just a slow leak, otherwise there would have been 200 gallons of saltwater on the main floor! It's been sitting idle for months now and there are only a few fish and no corals left. I have had to make some hard decisions and I going to be "taking a break" from the hobby. Never really thought I would say it, but there it is. Time is short nowadays and I have lots of other things I want to spend time on. I may get back into it in a more simple way, maybe planted discus tank. In the meantime, I still have to make the space pretty, so gotta take the tank down and clean up the space.

I will probably be offering up some sweet equipment for sale in the meantime. Gotta get my charter membership back to do that. The PAR meter I have been loaning out via Louis at Elegant Reef will be donated to all the MAASTards out there who need to measure their LED's. I will also be selling off a ton of LED's in case anyone is interested. I may have to resort to RC though because last time I tried selling some DIY LED stuff on here there was little interest.

Anyway, thanks for coming along on the ride. Maybe ... to be continued?

What a bummer...Sorry to hear that. I was hoping for a better outcome than that since the tank should be mature by now.

Please see my PM. I have a bunch of discus stuff I'd be willing to trade. I just took my tank down this weekend, and I still have manzanita wood and fluorite, along with plants (amazon sword, val, crypto, anubia).

Sorry to hear about your aquarium, seems like a bad year for tanks. Hopefully you can set something in the near future
