Hi guys,

Just going through a decomm and now suffering from 'side effects' of not reefing.

Just wondering what do you guys turn to when you stop reefing?

Go into freshwater? FOWLER? Or what else?

I think before u decomm, u must hv seriously think over. you should stick to the reason why u decomm. If there r still some avail free time, maybe u can look into fowler which don't take up much of your time n effort in maint.

But currently if u hv no avail time slot, it is best that u don't see this forum anymore if not it will lure u back. Try to do things which u did before u start marine hobby.

When you pull out a piece of nori from the sea, you'll start missing your beloved AT. 5 yrs after decomm, I start my reef tank again, now I can't find time to go pull nori.... :dunno:

Remind yourself of the time you gained and money you saved all the time... So that you can use that time and money for other things. But then again, what better hobby to spend your time and money on but reefing!?!?!? LOL

After Decomm -> Start Marine Tank again -> Decomm -> Start Marine tank again -> Decomm -> Start Marine tank again ....
