Tearing the tank down...

Thanx to all for your help but I must move on from tanks. I will miss all these great reef forums. I wish you all the best and a happy new year.

To All...you have a great leader. Matt is a genuine guy and has a great thing going here. The mods are great and very polite. Sorry for the things I have said on this forum. I don't know what was wrong with me. Keep up the great work and sorry for insulting any of you in any way.

Default Re: My 180g Starboard Reef...

Thanx! But I am leaving the hobby for at least six months. The tank was looking great then I went on vacation for a week and came back and my halide timer had stuck on and burned a lot of my favorite corals. Plus the maint of siphoning so frequently, the cost to run it, and finally I have been neglecting my family and I don't want that. Tanks are great but I must move on for a while.

Mike,
Sorry to hear. I'm sure you will appreciate the extra time with the fam and down the road when you do have the extra time you can come back to the hobby.

Take care, don't be a stranger to 3reef.
