Ugh, this was a hard decision to make, but I decided to take a break from the saltwater hobby for awhile and sold this tank and all of its contents to the owner of my LFS for $300.00. She has fallen in love with my Picasso clown pair and my possum wrasse and will give them a loving home either on display at the LFS or at her own home. Either way, I know that they will be spoiled and happy.
The good thing about this decision is that anytime I feel like I am missing them and want to see them, I can visit, just like I've done with the 29 gallon Biocube that I had - it's there too, on display.
I am truly thankful and grateful to all of the absolutely wonderful people I have met on these forums. I've laughed with, shared, teased with, learned and was inspired by many of you. This hobby is one that takes a lot of dedication and hard work - attention to details - not to mention MONEY!
My attention to this hobby was distracted by other things and for that, my devotion and care to my tank suffered. I never neglected to perform my weekly water changes or took care of my babies, but the dedication and time that I took up in the beginning wasn't there anymore. I was just "going through the motions" and getting it done out of necessity, rather than the enjoyment.
I feel relieved now.
Successfully maintaining a reef tank is an art - a skill - and it takes a lot of hard work. Those of you who have been in the hobby all these years and continue to love and enjoy your reef tanks are to be envied. You've created these beautiful, aquatic masterpieces - poetry in motion. I'd love to just be able to sit back and enjoy a beautiful reef tank - right now, that doesn't work out for me.
Blah, blah... I'm going on and on, starting to not make sense. Anyway, just wanted to close out this thread and wish you all the very best of luck with your tanks and thank you for all the help, support and encouragement you've given me these last couple of years.
I still have an interest in the hobby, so I'm not gone forever. I'll stop by every once in awhile and see how everyone is doing, and who knows, maybe a few years from now, I may pop up with another tank!
Until then.... peace and love!~
Glad to see we were not forgotten. I totally agree with PD, that your tank was perfect the way it was. Glad to hear that you still have it. Boy oh boy your clowns are gorgeous, shame they play so rough in that brain, but oh well. I kinda would think that they would take up residency in the elegance coral. Anyhow, glad to see you are back even if you just pop in once every week or so. So nice to see you again, and I wish you the best.
