Okay, good... So here's what happened: we don't have central air, just some window units and our electric bill has been close to $400/month the last few months. Since my other half (ex other half roughly 2 hrs ago) didn't help with paying any of our livin expenses I would harp on her to work on turning the downstairs a/c's off at night and the upstairs a/c's off during the day... Well she got confused and turned the downstairs ones off when she turned the MH on in the tank (the timer fried and I had just ordered a new one). When I got home the water was 102F and cloudy. A few snails, my blue hippo, green chromis, and yellow tang survived. I lost every coral and my big fat mandarin. I moved the fish to the 30B temporarily, all the rock to trash cans, and the sand is still in the tank.
I'm moving in two weeks anyways to a fly apartment- its big, large rooms, heated pool, a nice gym, sauna, jacuzzi room, tennis court, basketball court, etc. it's on the ground floor so I won't have to worry about weight problems. Also, it has central air. I am going to start saving for LEDs. I have some other large purchases in the meantime (I'm going to get an all-new bed room set bc the wife's dogs have ruined the bedroom dfurniture I have now. While I'm stacking that $ I'm going to set up the 30B as a frag tank to start collecting frags and I'll work on a coast to coast overflow on the display. I'm using this poop situation to benefit my system. Down but not out. Of course I will be cleaning everything up real nice and making other changes as I can think of them.
Seth knows I wouldn't take offense to that- if I was getting out then you'd have had first dibs but I can't let a little thing like losing 3 years of coral growth in 8 hours keep me out!
Any suggestions for the new system?
I can definitely help you spend your money! lol
