Hey guys! Been out of the hobby for a couple of years after a scroching case of dinos broke me. Battled them for nearly a year and gave up. Plus the fact that my Reefbreeder lights spent more time on a UPS truck going back to have the drivers replaced. So I just finally decided to break my tank down and sell as much as possible. Didn't get any bites on the tank or skimmer so they just sat and collected dust. Sold off all my power heads, storage tanks, RO unit, etc. etc. Even tossed all my live rock in a hole out in the field and buried it for good.
Over the past 2 years I concentrated on finishing up my other hobby. Once that was done I thought I was over the hump and i could relax stress free. Then the unthinkable happened, wifey and my 2 girls came up to me and said "Daddy, we sure miss having the fish tank". So here I am, working on getting my 200 gal. 8ft. in wall back up and running, with the only other 2 pieces of equipment being a Reef Octopus 3000 skimmer and my sump. UGH!
I have re-plumbed my entire tank, supply and return lines. Got all new DC pumps(Neptune), for supply and skimmer. I am also in the process of gathering up all new Marco rock and doing the aquascaping.. Havn't yet decided on what lights I am going to use. (defiantely not Reefbreeders)!!!!!!!! Tank will be full blown softie so nothing elaborate. For sure t5's and maybe Kessils.
Soooo yeah that whats goin on at casa de Paintman's. Who's still around in the club that came to my infamous kitten/reef party?
