I am also thinking of decomm my tank. currently only left with 2 clowns. But with me for 6 years liao. Can bear to decomm them. Sigh.

So if you don't want to decomm later, then don't start. Good enough reason?

:chair:

what happen bro? WHy gave up?

Reefing is really a long process.

Everyone enjoy the setting up and buying stuff to add to the tank but will lose interest when in the maintiance stages.

GIve up liao!!!!!!!!!!!

I guess it's really having kakis in this hobby. When I started my first tank there was a whole gang of friends and colleagues doing the same. Even went to LFS during lunch time. And of course, with SRC support, much discussion and knowledge transpired hence keeping the passion alive. Eventually all the kakis left the marine field. Worst still when my chiller stopped working one day, forcing me to off my MH. Then the corals started to die off, then my inverts, then filefish, then my 5 yr old YT. So now left with 2 clowns. sigh...

So now contemplating if should decomm or downsize. Maybe go for nano. haha.

It is very common to c reefers in and out

of tis hobby.

maybe due to lack of knowledge or impulse buying

of exp livestock and equipment.thue ended up broke :chair:

I think is best to stick to one;s limit and be happy

with your tank..

To me, Big or nano reef tank look great and nice :P

i feel the same too, Kaki are very important, can cheong together and talk the same things.

I left 3 yrs ago after keep shrinking the tank size from 4 ft to Red sea Max.

Bad news, I am back again. Jus bought a 3 ft tank from Iwarna, chiller and skimmer.

No money for the rest so the start up will be dead slow till dec...

Start a nano for a beginning.

Easier to maintain. Cost is really up to oneself to limit.

For me, after initial higher start up cost of tank, i set a budget every month for livestock or coral.

This is to control my spending.

I dont think i will get bored of looking at fishes swimming around and coral swaying around.

In fact, i spend most of my time after work looking at fish tank and start planning.

There is always room for improvement.

Wife watch drama and i watch fish tank.

      WTS Tanks, Equipment

      Hey everyone, I've a set of many things to sell off as one set. The following are in this set: 1. Long fish tank, 90x30x30 - beautiful glass, well taken care of, no scratches 2. Standard fish tank, 60x45x45 - beautiful glass, as you can see, still with bottom and top cardboard covers. 3. Metal stand for the long tank - rusted by strong. Usable. Please note the width of this stand is 50, and the long tank's width is 30, so there's around 15 cm space. 4. Nano tank, well taken care of. Beautiful glass. (The gadgets in there all taken out, so just tank with it's back sump. 5. A baby tank 6. A bunch of stuff: - Tidal 35, Seachem filter - two oxygen pumps - plastic fish tank protein skimmer - portable fan - large wavemaker - 90x45 nice tank background poster - mini filters Basically what's in there + take. In the photos below, I've saved some pictures from when I purchaser them. These were all used for marine/saltwater fish - if you want to convert to others; simply wash (that's why I got these tanks, flexibility). I've used them for a year or less. Selling since these are in my office, and we have settled on one custom size. And we may be moving. Need to send these off. Would prefer someone to take everything, clear everything. Only $220 for everything. If I see anything else I don't want laying around, I'll also pass to you. Self-collection/self pick up. Location: Indus Road, ground floor. PM me if keen, cheers!e0774394470a15537f6187c32e4cb04f.avif sg-11134201-22100-a8sr3atpx6ivfe.avif
