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

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.

      FOC Coral Bandid Shrimp

      Hi, I'd need to give away my CBS named Shadow. He's a decent sized guy, been with me for a few months, a darling of a shrimp. But he's started attacking my small fish, fish have gone missing through the months, few have died the past week. Unsure him or anything else. My current fish are all healthy. Free of charge. Just promise to take good care of him. Please quarantine him first, or put him in a fishless setup for a few weeks. Self collect at Indus road. Cheers.
