Joe, you have great willpower to be able to make this change. Glad you will now have more time for what is most important in your life. I hope to see you keeping an all sps tank again in the future.

Thanks everyone for the concern , nothing happened in the tank . all corals are in local homes , I even have a few at Atlantis Marine world .

First reason , with an all sps tank I worry about it like I do my kids . 1 wife , 2 kids and 2 dogs is too much for me to have to think about .:lol:

Second reason , LIPA our local electricity supplier is just getting crazy with it's prices .

Third reason, a 58 g tank is way to small for SPS's they were growing way to fast .

The funny part is if you look at my first post , this was were I wanted to be from the start .

New lights are T-5's and VHO actinics .

Thanks Travis ,

I will be , When the kids are out of the house .:lol: And I move off Long Island to where I can afford the electricity .

I can appreciate the switch. Your priorities are in the right place.

Your tanks in the past were my favorites of all time. I'm interested to see what you can accomplish with the new setup.
