I lost access to my original account since the military took their email back. So I'm Sfork2
When I left my apartment I broke down my original tank 5 years ago to a fish only 12 gallon Mr aqua long. 3 years ago I moved again and the tank became an outdoor tank. Even with a 200w heater the 12 gallon had to be covered on particularly cold nights. My clowns have been happy swimming among the algae and Kenya trees, eating the bugs that fly into the tank.
I got this new to me acrylic setup on Craigslist for $40, had to buff out some deep turtle related scratches but after 2 years and throwing lots of money at it it's finally ready for some corals. I've moved over 90% of the outdoors tanks liverock and all the leftover rock I had in storage from the original downgrade. I never saw a spike in ammonia so I added a fish and still no spikes, so I'm getting ready to move the clowns over from the outdoor tank.
