Ok....
After a lot of problems, here's the new layout.
The STN stopped.....the colors are coming back....
But I have a lot of diatoms and cyanos on the sandbed....

The major change was in the right view of the tank. The one that I've never liked.....

I'm pretty satisfied right now

How it looks before:

Thanks Mindy!
I saw that you had some problems too.
It's part of the game.
The most important, as in life, is keep going.
Best regards!

There's a whole whack of us that have struggled in the last few months! Hopefully we can all get back on track in the New Year. :thumbsup: Oh, and don't worry, I never quit. I've been going hard since 1993. :lmao:

Really nice transformation! I love the open scape. Good for flow and good for plating corals!

The tank have almost no acros.
Several problems (personal and with the tank) lead to a major crash.
I'm giving it a time to rest.....and I need some time too...
Maybe in the second half of the year I'll have some good news....
For now.....none.

Good one , Dom!
Would love to see an update, too.

No update for now...
Unless if you like Discos....:fish2::fish2::fish2::fish2:

 

[Wrangy]

Wow I'm really sorry to hear that Alex and I hope the personal issues are on the mend mate

I don't know about everyone else but some discus updates would be pretty cool! They're fantastic fish so please share if you want to

I had a look through your Flickr and that's a gorgeous tank and you've got some fantastic discus in there mate!! It would be very relaxing having a stunning tank like that at home!

That is one beautiful discus tank. I kept discus for years. Between discus and Tanganyikan cichlids, I was very busy before I became an sps nut. Then, all other types of aquarium went out the window.
I've always loved discus and you have a very fine display.
You clearly have a wet thumb, in general...
I believe you will be back in the sps forum...

 

[Alex Costa]

Well....

Nothing is too bad to get a little worse.
Two weeks ago I traveled to my parents house and stayed there for 3 days. When I came back I found the tank without energy.
Everything went dead.....everything.

All caused by an electric problem outside my house.
Absolutely nothing that I can do to prevent something like that and I have a nobreak with an external battery, battery on the Vortech, etc...

I just found fair to tell this to everyone who followed this thread 'till now.
I'm now washing everything to start over....again.....in another thread.

Sorry to hear that Alex that really sucks!

 

[reefmutt]

Terrible!! Sorry to hear.
I really liked your tank!

 

[Piper27]

Woah, heartbreaking... Sorry to hear, keep your head up because that was a nice tank.

 

[Myka]

Sorry to hear about this Alex. I know you worked hard at it and it's really tough to lose something that you put so much effort and care into.

 

[glaukos]

So sorry to read that alex
Tank was really beautiful,as it will be the the new version of it:thumbsup:
Really glad you will restart it instead of quitting:beer:
Unfortunately this is a sad/frustrating/disappointing part of our hobby,the important thing is how you deal with it!

 

[Alex Costa]

Thank you all.....

This is the new thread:

Rebirth

It'll not be a sps project....so I put it on the Large Reef Tanks Forum.

Best wishes to all.
