    I killed it a short while ago in some mysterious mini crash that I think I sparked by messing with my refugium...

    Thanks Pack, Yeah, I'm definitely leaning towards keeping everything. All the equipment is rated at 100+ gallons. When I get sick of the nano, I'll up-grade to a 100 gallon or something..............

    Have you considered reloading? Great stress reliever dude. Saves you money in the long run, and you get better performing ammo as well ;)

    Not to mention you can custom-tailor your rounds for your needs. If you're target shooting, you can load cheap wadcutters or ball-type ammo. If you're hunting, you can get Swift A Frame, Nosler Partitions, Winchester Fail-Safe, the options are nearly endless. Load 'em up for specific range, game, need, etc.

    Good stuff.

    Nosler is local here in Bend, Oregon.... So, this is the tank I'm replacing my 55 with. Should have it next week.
    (Not buying it from here though)

    I'll need a skimmer and a replacement bulb(s)................... I kept a good pile of l/r rubble and my sand from the other tank.

    Cool! That sounds like the normal progression of things. Cut your teeth with a larger tank, and once you learn to maintain chemistry; how and when to intervene, etc--it's time to apply those master skills into a Nano. It shouldn't be the other way around. :) Nanos are much less forgiving and tolerant of our mistakes.

    Can't wait to see it full of color!

    Another hereby supporting you keeping your equipment! You'll cherish watching a new tank grow when the time for that comes -- and the time for that will come much sooner if you already have most of the required equipment.

    I'm very sorry to hear about the crash, though.

    There was no crash that sparked this sale/sell. Just got bored and looking to start over. Fresh start if you will. Thanks for the support.
