Unfortunately, I lost both crosshatches. 😢  I think they might have over eaten and injured their stomach.  Then they stop eating.  Now, I can have more smaller fishes without them becoming dinner.

 

Sorry to hear about the cross hatches - they were impressive.  At least you can diversify your fish population a bit more now without worrying about predation.  Silver lining I guess...

That was a nice tank when you had it set up - someone should come snag it.

Oh no!  So sorry to hear Holly.  Glad we got to say "hi" to him one last time this year.  Always hurts to lose one of the family and I could tell he was a big part of yours.  Our condolences.

The last thing in the world I'd want to do is manufacture a product responsible for life support of expensive corals.  Have you seen how some reefers will blame everything on a product if something dies, even if it's their own fault?  No thank you.

Yeah - that is an area of irrational liability claims I wouldn't want any part of!

Can't believe you didn't take the opportunity to go bigger while you were at it 

Congrats to all and thank you for stepping up in such challenging times!  I am looking forward to seeing what you all have planned for the coming year.  Good luck!

I was wondering how the switchover was going. Didn’t realize you did a full tear down as part of it but makes sense given all the problems. Like the looks of that new sump arrangement!

Pretty slick solution!  Kind of fortunate you had set the whole thing up remotely in the closet - much easier to secure. 

Is that Turbo Aquatics the L2? 

Oh man - how did I miss this?  Happy belated B-day Kim!  Hope you and Sirena had a wonderful day. 

Niece piece Jamie!  At least I can get some vicarious enjoyment out of your tank bouncing back 🙂 

Glad to see there is some interest here!  Will be nice to be in position to restore some school tanks as things start being more predictable.

Thanks! Yes everything that survived is thriving again! It's sad for what I lost, but after 72 hrs without power I'm grateful for keeping so much. How's your tank doing? 

Glad it's bouncing back!  As for my tank... sigh.  At least the burning banana is doing well!

Things are looking good Jamie!  Glad the power outage didn't take everything down.

Great turn key setup for someone - maybe @PowderBlue!

This is a great deal! Rock alone is worth the price. 

No Kidding!  I am completely out of storage space or I would pick it up just to hang on to for another build.  Looks like good sized pieces too!

These are awesome fish!  We have one as well and love watching him change his color pattern depending on mood/lighting/etc.  Lots of personality and generally good citizen.

Looking great Daniel!  BTW - I meant to ask what happened with the crosshatch triggers?  They would have made short work of some of those new fish additions!

Wow!  Some gorgeous pieces there Jeff!  Been way too long since I got to see any of this in person 😒

This is how you hijack a thread . You invite all your friends !!😂

She is a pro after all 😀  Taught me everything I know... @Gil&Fin

Awesome pieces as always Rudy!

Love the mystery wrasses!  No doubt it will eventually be boss of the tank.

Now I want to come back and see your tank again after all the redecorating - nice work!

Those light mount ideas are great - love the look and should be super solid!  GLWS!

Very nice!  Love all of these...
