Bitter sweet day

I’ve had my 90g going for just over six years now. In its day it looked awesome. Large colorful colonies, gorgeous fish, algae/pest free. Then I got complacent, started traveling more and ended up going back to school. Over the last year and a half I’d say the tank has slowly declined due to neglect. Colonies died. Lost a few fish. Aptasia took over. I lost interest. It had prolly been almost a year since I did a water change. I ended up selling my remaining fish and moving my clowns to my nano tank. Today I finally got around to breaking it down. It’s draining as I type this. I removed my remaining corals, a RFA I’ve had for about 4 years and a colony of Tyree BGM chalice that I’ve had for about 8 years now and was doing surprising well in the tank. It kind of sucks but I can focus on other things including my nano and one day after I finish school and my daughter is older I’ll get a large tank again.

Here’s when it looked it’s best

Fwiw, I’ve done this a couple of times as a dad/husband.

It‘s a matter of priorities & cudos to you for doing the right thing.

I think she really liked the tank. Luckily we still have the 20g. I may move it from an upstairs bedroom downstairs some where if we can find the right table/stand for it.
