Luke33 Posted November 15, 2017 Report Share Posted November 15, 2017 Its been a few months since I've really been around here and there is some reasoning as to why. The good news is we are expecting our first kid! The bad news is we are more than likely going to be moving in the next few months to a more kid friendly home and I will be breaking down the tank. In all honesty I didn't think we would be moving for 20yrs or so, so this is kinda a surprise. I hate growing out sps for 3+yrs then have to get rid of them all, but I believe we will be moving twice as we more than likely are going to build, so no chance of keeping things up. I will be posting a for sale thread soon of the corals. Hope everyone had a great summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrsBugmaster Posted November 15, 2017 Report Share Posted November 15, 2017 Congrats on the baby!! Exciting news on building a new house and maybe building the tank around the house this time. But sorry you have to break down the tank. It will be better than ever when you have it all done! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaco Posted November 15, 2017 Report Share Posted November 15, 2017 Congrats! We had our first on the 26th. I have no clue what will happen to my tank once Margo becomes mobile Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReefNewby82 Posted November 15, 2017 Report Share Posted November 15, 2017 Wow that's awesome news on the new frag luke congrats! Now on the breaking down tank news...that is a bummer. We have all enjoyed enviously watching your corals grow and color up. I'm sure the next venture will be even more epic though... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blowfish770 Posted November 16, 2017 Report Share Posted November 16, 2017 Any idea where you are moving to? When you are wanting to start selling let me know and if you are looking for a name I have always liked the name KENT 😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SantaMonicaHelp Posted November 17, 2017 Report Share Posted November 17, 2017 Good to hear about your child! The tank breakdown is kind of a bummer, but eh, I'm sure it was fun while it lasted. Best of luck finding homes for all your species! -Kamran Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be nice to have a faster commute to work.....but it's tough to move off the lake! it'll be tough convincing Wifey on naming the girl Kent.

Kent12456 Posted November 17, 2017 Report Share Posted November 17, 2017 Congratulations on the new addition to your family. Look at a new tank build at as an opportunity to improve on your present system. A fresh start. A word of caution about Plainfield. I don’t know where you live now, but if you move to the Plainfield area be aware that the Indianapolis airport is in your back yard. Due to family obligations we moved to Plainfield from Noblesville three years ago. We are next to Hummel park and the jet noise drives us nuts some days. Fed Ex jets (fully Loaded and at full throttle on take off to reach altitude) start their day at 4:00 AM. The bright side is....... you’ll never complain about your skimmer being loud again. And a +1 on the name KENT!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The west side is the alternative but Rockville road sucks! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Budman Posted November 18, 2017 Report Share Posted November 18, 2017 Keeping the tank and equipment will make it easy to start up again. And I get not wanting to move from a lake. I don't think I would get anything else done if I lived on a lake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
