I'm sorry to hear about the constant battle your wife is facing. Why people like her can't ever get a break is beyond me. So sad to hear it's one thing after the next - hopefully everything works out well.

The tank is absolutely stunning. I think I'd be spending most of my time at that little granite bar area just starring at the tank if I lived in that house.

Good luck, and I wish you and your wife the best!

Here are some updated pictures, another month and very little tank maintenance. 1% automated daily water changes, and filter sock changes. Tank looks to be doing well hopefully it will continue to and I will not need to shut it down.

As always, my thoughts and prayers are with with you and and your wife. The tank still looks great. A lesson for many of us. Sometimes less tinkering is better.

Thank you! I agree, the less you're tinkering in the tank the better.

I'm a bit curious about the screening over the ends of the Sola-tubes. Can your fish really jump that high?

That is a lighting filter, it reduce the amount of red and yellow color changing the light spectrum to more of a blue hue, it tricks the coral, its as if they are in deeper water.

That is a really cool feature!

I have had the same idea let me know if that is enough light and I hope those sky light tubes don't creat to much heat

I just read your entire post.

First, your tank is beautiful and ingenious. From the solar lighting to the wonderful breakfast bar, it is both unique and masterful in its design.

Second, my heart goes out to you and your lovely wife. My entire read was a mix of sorrow and delight. I sincerely hope that she lives to be very old and very wrinkly. Considering the time, love and energy you have both put into your system, that's really the only option! It is clear that your attitudes and energies are in the right place. Stay strong, stay positive, and trust that it will all work out.

Best regards,


W

enough light for what, as you can see from the pictures 1-1/2 years and all is doing well. The sun-domes don't add any heat to the tank or home. yearly reef temp 76.8 -77.4 without a chiller.

I'm so sorry. I was hoping you're wife could pull through. You're right, she is free from all the pain and suffering of this life. We'll be praying for you.
