Hello Everyone,
I thought that we should probably start a thread for our tanks for several reasons. A couple would be: 1. To have a reference of the just how old the tanks really are. 2. So we know when we got the fish and corals. 3. (but not least) So we can share the ups and downs of this hobby with everyone else. Because this tank has definitely had its ups and lots of downs... hence the name.
So lets talk about the name for a second. "What's in a name..." This name, Eddy might not approve of but up until about 3 months ago... I hated this tank. Hated! Nothing could or would go right, as you will see in the pictures and stories to follow. Get some popcorn ready.
Lets start off with aquascaping. Eddy put me in charge of that and gave me some ideas. That afternoon I had it done and by the next day it looked like the picture below. Anyone tried to do rods to secure artificial rocks? We will probably never do that again because it was a fight the whole time and then it didn't even work for us. Congrats to those who are successful with rods!
After a couple weeks we finally got the lights on and water in the tank. The best part? The water stayed in the tank!!! But that is all we had to look at for the next 2-3 months until it ready for coral of fish.
So as Tom Hanks in the movie The Terminal says, "I wait."
The posts to follow will be stories of the ups and downs of this tank. Trying to play catchup for the last year and a half is going to take a minute. Feel free to ask questions along the way. Any setup questions will probably be answered by Eddy. Why? Because he picked it out. LOL
