This Was My Tank.

[amstar15]

Its been quit awhile since I have been on. I recently went through a divorce and had to move my reef tank to my parents. I was living in an apartment for awhile. Needless to say my dad has been trying to take care of my tank. I have lost many, many things in my tank. Over the next few months I will show and write how I am going to move the tank again to my new house. How I am going to cut a hole in the wall in the basement and place the tank inside. I am also going to show the progress of how the tank is through pics. I will first post a pic of how the tank was. In a few days I will post a pic of how it is now. Then we will see if we can bring it back again to its old glory.

THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE TANK

The divorce was worth it. I have found and I am in love with my soul mate.

the next pic I will add later this weekend will be of what the tank looks like now its a damn shame. My dad is trying, plus the tank sat at my ex-wife's house for 6 months. I had to plead for her just to feed the fish and add water. neeless to say she added water from the faucet and not from the d/i reverse osmosis kit out in the garage ARRHHHHH I WILL GET THE TANK BACK TO HOW IT WAS

Ouch. It's almost like "the Great Dying".

Hope you can get it back to where it used to be.

Wow, it looked great back in the day. If you've done it before I'm sure you'll do it again

One suggestion, snag yourself a photobucket.com account when you have a spare minute (its free) so you can host larger pics

And I hope that galaxea pulls through, I've never heard of or seen a red morph
