It’s been probably 4 or 5 years since we have been active in the reefing community. We moved to Cincy and moved everything from our tanks into 2 100g stock tanks plumbed together. We had to move them into temp housing and then when we finally got into our house. Most things survived the moves, just to have everything wiped out when a heater malfunctioned. We lost probably $10k worth of stuff. That was the beginning of the end of the hobby for us.
Fast forward several years and we now have 2 kids and our own business! More reason why we are out of the community! [emoji16] But my 3.5yo has been begging for a Nemo like all kids go through, so we thought, maybe we should pull a 14 gallon biocube out of the basement and jump back in. I’m hesitant here because I know this is like a gateway drug. We don’t have the time or money to jump back in like we were before, so I’m trying to contain myself. I already find myself dreaming of watching corals open after receiving them in the mail... the water isn’t even in yet! [emoji23]
So here we go... plans are a couple of percs, a yellow clown goby and a neon goby. I have been instructed by Kaiden that we have to have a yellow and blue fish, so that’s what we’re going with. I’m thinking a pep shrimp or 2 would be fun for him to watch. And then hopefully kev2me and I can pace ourselves when adding corals. It’s bad news when we both love this hobby so much! [emoji48] The lights were modded by me way back then with DIY LEDs. I’m sure they’re crazy outdated at this point, but it’ll do. We’ll probably add an MP10 as well. Do those still exist? [emoji848]
