dandy7200 July 13, 2010 Author Share 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........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coral Hind July 13, 2010 Share July 13, 2010 A nice FOWLR with some nice groupers would be cool, and easier to maintain than a reef. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steveoutlaw July 13, 2010 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

extreme_tooth_decay July 19, 2010 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveS May 18, 2011 Share 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dandy7200 May 18, 2011 Author Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reefoholic May 18, 2011 Share May 18, 2011 Always reinventing yourself! I like that! BTW, a planted freshwater might be fun too... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steveoutlaw May 18, 2011 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roni May 18, 2011 Share May 18, 2011 Dan, I'm starting up a freshwater planted tank as well. Happy to trade notes if you want. Roni Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
