Most of you know by now I am selling off most all of my tank setup. I am downsizing. To what tank, I am not sure yet. I am thinking of doing a NUVO Fusion all in one. I am kinda depressed to tear down. I hope to have something going by winter's end. In the meantime, the break is welcomed and will give me time to reflect on everything I learned not to do in the hobby....lol. The 150 is sold. Fish will be gone tomorrow. Corals are selling. Come get some deals and help me get my new tank.....lol. I will list the rest when all corals and fish are gone. My present position at work has demanded long hours. No quality time to devote to a large tank and this is not fair to the tanks inhabitants. So, I will hang around here while I am tankless and read all the threads from beginning to end this winter....lol

What have I been up to, well my 180g is down and out of the house.  The new Ocenaic 144g is on site, but the stand need repaired and refinished.  Hope to get the tank on the stand soon.

I recently had a case made for my phone based off the patterning on my male snowflake clown.

Most of you know that I sold my 150g DD. I am now just getting around to selling off the equipment and other odds and ends. I am not getting out for good. I am merely taking a long break from the hobby. I plan to stay on Ohio Reef. In the meantime I am going to plan a new build or keep saving for a Nuvo. We will see.

Battling Cyano and patiently waiting for BRS to get some Skimz skimmers in so I can put a new skimmer on my system. Corals seem to be growing well now.

I swear by using lanthanum chloride.  I was seeing some cyno awhile back and I dosed 3 or 4 doses of lanthanum and the cyno went away.  My tank was totally gone a few years back and I had a forest of hair algae and starting dosing the lanthanum which brought everything back to life.  Let me know if you would like to try some.

Battling coral losses......acros seem to not like my tank at the moment had a crash back in feb due to a 2 part over dose while I was out of town. Everything is stable but somethings just don't wanna stay alive. So working on setting up a 115g frag tank that will be separate from my DT going to move most my frags in to this then as they grow out going to try to move them back to my DT.

Just started hand dosing in my tank getting my kh up to 9.5 and ca is right at 430.  Just bought a new OceanRevive Arctic-T247 LED Aquarium Light.  Hung it over the tank yesterday and so far VERY pleased with the colors!!  Starting the intensity at 40% on both channels.  Once I get my lvls dialed in and my light acclimated, i will be adding more corals to fill the tank!

My next project is to redo my sump to try and add a refugium.  Not sure if my current sump is big enough so might need to have one made.

I will post pictures of my setup later today.

Watching a Candy Cane Pistol Shrimp (new addition :) ) completely rearrange a rubble pile while his new friend, a Yellow Watchman Goby (2 year old tank resident) stands guard

Added the Ghost Skimmer, and letting the tank "settle" as I have been doing a lot in it lately. Thinking of letting it settle in a bit before adding much else. Although I am still looking around for a small hammer, although not sure if round or wall, depends on what I find.

I agree.  Lots of places to put new corals.  Looks like someone needs to go shopping.
