dandy7200 July 13, 2010 Author July 13, 2010 Did it become a nuisance or did it die (prior to being removed from water)? It started receding a few months ago as did all my corals when our second child was born......I just couldn't stand looking at a coral that big half dead, so I removed it. I removed 2 full 5 gallon buckets of similar stories this morning. I lost the cowfish 2 days ago as well. So now I rethink the whole tank. Super demanding centerpiece speciment perished so my livestock options are considerably open. Justin took a bunch of my SPS to hold while I figure things out, I will probably sell the rest along with most, if not all, of the other corals in the tank. That will really open up some options. Hmm, what to do........
Coral Hind July 13, 2010 July 13, 2010 A nice FOWLR with some nice groupers would be cool, and easier to maintain than a reef.
steveoutlaw July 13, 2010 July 13, 2010 Dan- So sorry to hear......you had one of the nicest tanks I had seen. Have you considered just a softie/LPS tank? Very low maintenance with most of those and they can grow pretty huge. Whatever you choose, good luck. Steve
Coral Hind July 13, 2010 July 13, 2010 Dan- ......you had one of the nicest tanks I had seen. I agree, I was jealous when I saw his tank last month.
extreme_tooth_decay July 19, 2010 July 19, 2010 Man, especially sorry to hear about your cowfish. He was great. I did see a 10 incher down at That Fish Place a while back. He was a scrawled, not a longhorn, but still very cool.
DaveS May 18, 2011 May 18, 2011 Nooooo. One of the best builds I've ever not seen. The thread was educational and inspiring. It's what got me to redo my entire fish room. Sad sad.... But can't wait to see the thread for the new place!
dandy7200 May 18, 2011 Author May 18, 2011 what comes next? I'm considering fresh water planted..... Nooooo. One of the best builds I've ever not seen. The thread was educational and inspiring. It's what got me to redo my entire fish room. Sad sad.... But can't wait to see the thread for the new place! It's not sad at all, what is sad is when you think you have your "dream tank" and then realize you wont get to do another tank build again. Thank goodness we are past that
Reefoholic May 18, 2011 May 18, 2011 Always reinventing yourself! I like that! BTW, a planted freshwater might be fun too...
steveoutlaw May 18, 2011 May 18, 2011 Dan- I think you need to go with a softie tank. Lots of color to be had there and low maintenance. Whatever you plan to do, I'm going to tag along because you always seem to do it well!! Good luck.
roni May 18, 2011 May 18, 2011 Dan, I'm starting up a freshwater planted tank as well. Happy to trade notes if you want. Roni
Coral Hind November 12, 2012 November 12, 2012 We need details! Where are the pictures! I hate suspense.
Coral Hind December 11, 2012 December 11, 2012 OK, it's been a month, where are the pictures? What's going on?
steveoutlaw October 4, 2013 October 4, 2013 Ok Dan, we're coming up on a year since you gave us the "It's Alive" tease. This really is getting to be cruel.......we need some pics!
