    Sorry to hear that however their is nothing wrong with curbing your spending on your saltwater hobby!!! Just let what you have grow and spread! It is still an enjoyable treasure to look at!
    Keep in touch with us here at 3reef in the mean time as learning is never ending!
    Best of luck with the car endeavor!

    I stopped spending on mine for about 6 months before a big move and what was amazing was everythign grew 2x as fast because I didn't have my hands in there every few days adding new coral. You will be surprised on how cool a tank can get by doing nothing at all. Good luck on getting the car.

    Yep, arm and hand corals are best left in the ocean.

    What's with 16 year olds and cars? lol.

    Giving your aquarium time to settle is always a good thing I've found.
