So after being out of the hobby for about 5 years, I've finally started a new tank. This time a 29gal with 10gal sump.
Enter the great crash of 2013 (appropriately named blizzard Nemo)
Reeked havoc on the north east with mountains of snow and wind. We lost power for 5 days. And with an infant, once house Temps dropped too low we had to leave. We tried everything to keep the tank warm. Towels, bags of hot water, even a power inverter to my car. But with no power for that long there was also not much gas in our area. So that didn't last long. Eventually total tank collapse.
May 19th 2018 I brought everything out of storage and salvaged what I could. Plumbed over the weekend and filled with water. It's been up for 5 days.
Light and WaveMaker on order.
I plan on keeping a mixed reef with a few sps eventually. My kids want a Clown of course I like the Picasso clowns. Would like goby shrimp combo. I think the watchman goby looks like Walter from Jeff Dunham. Open to suggestions.
For corals I'd like a Rbta, frogs spawn or hammer, zoas, leathers, Monti cap, birds nest. Also open to suggestions.
Equipment:
29gal tank
Ai prime HD
Aqamai KPS
Eschopps overflow
10gal diy sump
Aqueon 1700 return pump
Hard pvc plumbing
Jbj ATO
100w heater
Skimmer TBD
25lbs dry (previously live) rock
20lbs caribsea special grade sand
Wishlist

I'm so stoked to be back to reefing!
