To keep the thread going. What are you planning next?
The next 2 main steps are first to add a real clean up crew rather than just the survivors from my last tank. Not very exciting I know, though I am still toying with a horseshoe crab I figure with 40 sq. feet of sand bed, he should be able to find enough to eat. I just wont be able to have corals in the sand.
Then I really need to build a hood and skin the stand. I also need to get some more light over that tank. Currently I have a 72" and a 48" NEP, and a cheapo 72" 8 bulb t5 light. I plan on trying some Ideas with some LED greenhouse lighting and some LED industral lighting I have access to.
Then as soon as my ribs are up to it the 220 (my old tank that failed) will be rebuilt, and I think that will be my fuge/macro tank. Most likley it will have some fish in it at some point. Might even see if I can get some manderins to breed in there.
Theres still actually finishing the fish room and power as well. Currently I'm really not supposed to be lifting over 5 pounds and I'm trying not to push it too often. I really don't want to break open my sternum for a 3rd time.
Hopefully, at some point in there, I can start getting some livestock in there, and actually start adding corals.
The other big project on the horizen involves another 300 gallon tank that I hope to have as preditory tank. Most likley one of the larger Eels.
Alot of this also assumes that my finances recover more than they have, and I get the hospital bills paid off. I'm really not big on oweing money.
That should be enough to keep this thread going a little while...LOL
