My 100 gallons of madness

If you decide to break it down and sell stuff, I would be interested in the rock nems and ricordias.

Not that I am keeping track but isn't this going to be tank number 4 since Jackie came back again? Lol

Let me think where to put it

Despite your challenges, your tank looks absolutely incredible Jackie.

When my tank is having good streaks it's eternally rewarding and the feeling of success runs high. Being that it's a nano, it can come to a screeching halt and change directions faster than you know it. Even with all of my fancy automation the tank has faced plenty of bad days and hiccups. <span style="line-height: 1.4;">I feel as if that's the nature of the hobby and sometimes you need to take a step back to view all of your accomplishments to help keep yourself grounded.</span> Anyways I don't want this to come across as an attempt to sway your idea of going with a different tank. I just wanted to say that I admire your aquarium and throw my .02 out there. (: PS if you haven't already read this article, it's a good read.  <span style="line-height: 1.4;">http://www.reef2reef.com/threads/why-things-get-ruined-in-reef-keeping.206212/</span> <span style="line-height: 1.4;"> </span> <span style="line-height: 1.4;"> </span>

Oh I know smaller reefs can be just as hard but for some reason I just prefer the smaller space. And for me they always seem to run a bit more flawless than a large tank. It's more to do with the fact that they are just easier for me and fill in faster. This tank is just so tall even without the stand that it's frustrating to work in and I have a huge ladder and tongs to grab stuff but man if they fall down the side that doesn't have the opening in my canopy it's so hard to get them and then to place them back where they were is virtually impossible without taking the whole hood off.
I'm still on the edge of what I am going to do, I was looking at a JBJ 45 rimless and really like the look of them so if I do decide to change that will more than likely be what I go with. I also really like the CAD lights 42G versa series but don't think I want to drop that much money on it.
Oh and that was a great post/article, I completely agree in the end I will do what I feel is best for me because if I don't I stress way too much!

Innovative Marine tanks scare me a bit I have seen too many with leaks or complete blowouts. I'll check it out though.
