55g Long --> After 18mo of doing well the tank crashed during moving. Most likely cause: Flatworm Die-off... won't start another until after moving... Likely not until late 2013
Check out the journal to follow my 55g SW tank

Had a little set-back today. While building the canopy I had a little accident and ended up breaking two fingers on my right hand. As my index finger was un-harmed this should have no effect on my typing speed. The canopy was close to finished, but not quite done. Hopefully when I get the splint off in a week or two , I will be able to finish it.
The tank was delivered early to our SW LFS and got there late yesterday. The store was going to wait and combine my tank with another shipment to lower the shipping charges, but they got a few orders for larger tanks last week so it was shipped earlier than expected.
I went to the store today (after a quick visit to the medical clinic) just to see the new tank and it looks great. I can hardly wait until the movers get that bad boy in the basement.Last edited by Cliff; 08-13-2012 at 12:02 AM.
If you take your time to do the research FIRST, you can successfully set-up and keep ANY type of aquarium with ease.

Yikes! That sounds like something my husband would end up doing. I can hear him now.... "Piece of crap!"

I've noticed that people HATE it when you point out how stupid they are, so now I try to do it politely.

LOL, I'm glad we don't have any kids living with us, or they might have learned a few knotty German words that day.
The tank was delivery to the SW LFS a few days ago and I have the movers booked to pick it and delivery it this coming Tuesday. The electrical work is also done.
Now I just have to figure out a way to plumb the tank and sump together only using only my left hand
