My Tank Thread
My Aquarium Showcase
Feel you. I just lost my holy grail fish (baby sohal tang) for no apparent reason this morning two days after acquiring him. I hope you get back into it someday!Hey all
I lost my female clown recently, as she decided to try to fly, which ended with her disappearance until I found her under a shelf, dried like a raisin. I've also had an outbreak of algae that is being very stubborn and difficult to remove. My urchin is giving it all she's got.
I've been on the look out for a 65 reef ready for a good while, now. It's been over a year and I've yet to find one within reasonable driving distance (less than 2 hours). My only local supply shop would order one for me, with an additional $160 plus tax fee. I refuse to pay that for a tank that is sold in other states without that add-on fee. Unfortunately and understandably, no one will ship it from out of state, either.
So, that leaves me with the decision to drastically over pay for everything here (ohio), keep my current build and hope everything doesn't die, or just give the critters away and accept the loss. Considering how I've been feeling lately, I think I'm going to find a good home for everyone and hang up the towel. It's just too difficult to find or do anything of value in this state, anymore. Maybe one day, when I inevitably move, I'll start up again.
This seems like an awesome community. Hopefully everyone else has better luck than myself.
