my wife is quite agreeable to reefing, long as I can do it in budget. That can be hard

My wife loves the hobby, she just had no idea where that little 10gal brackish she got me would lead to. I always catch her just sitting and watching and it was actually her idea to set up another tank for a the wartskin angler I have, so no complaints on the wife front.

Outside of the hobby, I love going shooting, astronomy, and going for hikes. Living in CO, there are so many great places to enjoy the outdoors here.

title says it all
Well, I'm struggling with how to transition from one tank to another in my house. Tanks are identical 140 gallon 1/2 pipes. I think my big issue is that I have flatworm in the existing tank. The 2nd tank is a new build so it can have all new water but I need to move coral and critters. Best I can come up with for the moment, is temporarily empty the tank to the point where I can catch all the critters, then, put all the coral back in and hit the tank with Exit. Meanwhile, transfer the critters to the new, bare, tank. Of course I have a large maxima clam and I don't know how he'll respond to the Exit. Questions, questions, questions ....

Is there a lighting difference between the two tanks? Similar K sprectrum should minimize clam transfer

my best guess is your clam will be ok. P.S. I don't have a clam yet, so my .02 might be useless

Nice boat. Is it true what they say, the best days in a boat owners life are the day you buy it and the day you sell it? :)
No, I love the boat I currently have. This is my 3rd sailboat. I buy them, restore 'em, sail 'em, then upgrade. Repeat. Goal is to get to around 50' and sail around the world with nothing more invested than the $500 for the first 22' catalina. I am quite attached to my current one I have now. Lived on it for a 7 month term. Nice amenities.
