Mine are getting Lighter since I put it really close to the light. I need 2 more stag to fill up the space then I hope it's a waiting game. For now I am concentrate finding more colorful rhinopias for my cube predator reef tank.

Looks great as always Lawrence. What happen to your Emporator? That big boy looked awesome in your tank.

 

[bullitr]

It's in the rhinopias tank Wayne
It's too aggressive

 

[d-man]

I want too Lawrence, but I'm so hesitant, 1-without a chiller(72-79)throughout the year.
2- worried he'd nip at my corals(zoas, scolys, brains etc)

Really tempted of breaking down the big tank again.

It's been extremely busy lately now that I am back to work and my kids have tournament every weekend, practice everyday ( basketball, piano, swimming ) Not including boyscout, girlscout, gate, orchestra, CCD it's non stop everyday from 6 am to 10pm

I haven't clean my tank in almost 3 months.

Thinking of just running the 50 gallon cube as a reef for a while.

Tough decision Lawrence, your tank is so nice too! But you gotta do what you think is best for you.

 

[discotu]

Stick with it Lawrence...you'll regret it if you shut it down. Just get it to a point where you don't have too mess with it too much. Reduce bioload, shut down unnecessary equipment qt tanks, minimize lighting , etc.

 

[WayneL333]

It sounds to me as if you already made up your mind. The last thing you should do is turn a rewarding hobby into a burden. Take a break and come back when you have more free time and are refreshed.

 

[billyzbear]

Must have been hard to type that...
I don't know dude, what are you going to do with the huge tank? It would look weird with a huge tank in the room empty. You have all the equipment, why not fish only? Once a week clean it and all maybe every other week. You could have someone do it for you.

 

[sc50964]

Reduce bioload but keep the tank! I would suggest to try that first, if maintenance is an issue.

 

[bullitr]

Bio load was never really the issues, is time

Time to do maintenance?

 

[enjetek]

Light fish load and auto feeders - with fowlr you won't have to do water changes as much

After thinking about it maybe I should
I have many fish right now so I still feed 6 times a day which makes the glass panel dirty every 3 days. I wanted to replaced the fish I lost 2 that I really want back too which is moorish idol and goldflake that I lost last month that I didn't even notice it was gone [emoji21]
