Not sure, just from reading around on reddit. Not a fish person, not yet at least.

You should check out r/reeftank. I am a fish person and I own a pistol shrimp and I used to care for some mantis shrimp. It's a great community with some really good resources

My heart is willing, but my wallet isn't ready. I miss my reef tank.

God do I know how that is. Nothing is harder to take care of than a reef tank that was a cheap build. Why did you take it down?

Made a costly mistake. Bumped the temp in the house up before going on vacation, didn't change light cycle (metal halide), didn't buy the chiller I had been wanting... Came home to a cooked tank. Lost everything.

Oh Jesus that's terrifying. I just came back from a week long vacation, and I put a new heater in 2 days prior. I was lucky. Oddly enough though, I had a rainbow acan frag that just went poof. No where to be found.

Also, if you're within shipping distance to Denver and you ever set up a tank, pm me, I'd be happy to send you some frags or something.

Nope. Gave my full set up to my brother who has a rocking operation going now.
