Are you Happy with your Tank?

gveng · 03/03/2015, 01:43 PM

I'm not... it's not that there is something wrong, my tank is doing great but I always want to tinker with it, like ALWAYS!

I think I have a problem

CoralsAddiction · 03/03/2015, 01:54 PM

I downgraded and wish I hadn't. But that was better than quitting the hobby.

I dont think anyone is happy with their tank. There is always something that you notice could be changed, added, replaced or removed

dodgerblew · 03/03/2015, 07:57 PM

Yes

vanbro1 · 03/03/2015, 08:49 PM

Happy with the tank today, tomorrow maybe not and the promise of an upgrade in the future is inevitable

Agree!

GinaSofia · 03/03/2015, 09:31 PM

I wish I could go bigger but my current health keeps me stuck to a pretty cool nano.

pandimus · 03/03/2015, 09:38 PM

If I could get my sps to color up I'd be ecstatic

ctmgardea · 03/03/2015, 09:49 PM

There is always something to tinker with...or that you would like to tweak a bit.
That magic thing that's going to take your tank to the next level.

nikecivic · 03/03/2015, 11:11 PM

No, I can't really keep sps in my tank.

What's going on Mike?

euphoricgear · 03/04/2015, 12:25 AM

Happy with the way my tank is going. I just keep it simple.

MxReEfEr92 · 03/04/2015, 01:18 AM

I am

Paul B · 03/04/2015, 06:07 AM

I'm happy with my tank, my bald head, my wife, my boat etc. I guess I am just a happy guy

calistyle · 03/04/2015, 08:43 AM

I'm so happy with my tank, it's the last one I'll ever own.

Sorry to hear that Mike. Consider sending sample to Triton? I was having issie with Acros and then the rest of my SPS as well. Switched carbon and triple water change volume helped. Going to switch to Triton dosing method now.

100% maintenance free. At this point you might as well just mount 4 tv's in your tank with live feed to actual tanks with water, life in them.

You'll get all the great benefits of a tank without any of the hassle.

I sent you a pm yesterday. Did you see it? I still have a red planet for you. Just because you couldn't meet me at FRAG, my offer is still the same

Are you the same guy on the other forum who writes the satirical threads. I like reading them!

Paul B · 03/04/2015, 01:26 PM

I guess so, I am a satirical kind of a guy, I think. But I have been on this forum for quite a few years also

Hi Paul, long time no talk. Hope all is well with you.

I'm not currently happy with my tank. But I used to be. I'm getting happier though as my corals are starting to come back some. Now if I can just get rid of the scratches, or upgrade, I'd be real happy with it.

Paul B · 03/04/2015, 06:43 PM

Hi Crusty. I have always been happy with my tank, and if a day comes when I am not happy with it, I know where my garbage can is. I would like to keep it up at least another 7 years where it will be fifty years old, then maybe I will grow a mohawk, cover myself with Tattoos and piercings, put on some sandals, get a tamborine and join Harry Krishner's

Crusty Old Shellback · 03/04/2015, 07:26 PM

Can't say I'd go that far. But I do already have a couple of tattoos and ear piercings, being a Sailor and all.

I guess instead of saying not happy, I should say I'm not ready to throw in the towel.
I hope you keep you tank at least till its 50.

BeanMachine · 03/04/2015, 07:34 PM

Its not that I'm not happy with my tank, I would just like an incredible looking tank and mine is not there yet. I love the challenge and am inspired by some of the tanks I've seen over the years or online. I want what I call a "HOLY **** AMAZING" tank.

breadfan · 03/04/2015, 07:39 PM

I am. I feel like I made a lot of good choices with this build and now I just want to enjoy watching my corals and fish grow.

Bman562 · 03/05/2015, 11:56 AM

I'm 50/50 on my tank. At times, I'm happy because the tank is running fairly well, with growth all around. However, I'm not happy due to the AIO concept... Wish I had gone with a tank/sump combo to have the flexibility and ability to upgrade parts. Also, wish I had better tank dimensions..
