This is a good one, and I'm sure NO ONE else on here has done this, right?
I have a hospital tank under my main FOWLR in the wood stand, which has two doors to gain access to it from the front. The back is open, but against a wall., The hospital tank is one of those standard 10 gallon jobbies, with a heater, mechanical filtration, and has been running for years. Right now all that is in there is a spiny urchin, because the main tank is under hyposalinity. He'll go back once the salinity comes up, leaving the hospital tank empty like it usually is. I wanted to set up a mushroom propagation tank, so I figured the hospital tank was perfect, but a little small. I went to the store and bought a 30L to put under the stand to replace the 10, and I have perfect lighting (portable PC's) for a mushroom tank. Guess what? I can't get the 30L under the stand! Its 3 inches too long to go in the doors. ARGGGGGHHHHHHHGGGG. Then, to top things off, I cracked the hospital tank (10G) while moving it out to make room for the 30L. The urchin is living in a collander hanging in our reef tank until I can get to the store and pick up a 20L, or the largest thing I can get under the stand. Anyway...thought I'd share this wonderful experience that makes us go, "Why the heck did I get into this in the first place!?!:!?!?!:"
