Build Goal:
In case you are wondering - yes, I work at Starbucks and no, I cannot get you a discount.
We moved a few months ago into my moms house to help her get through some rough surgeries ahead this summer which meant the sale of my beloved 60 frag tank that I had setup as a bare bottom shallow reef. I kept frags of most of my zoas, a few of my nicer colonies of montipora, and the fish (my boys do not consider it to be home unless they have their fish). Currently everything is surviving in a 55 gallon I setup to temporarily house everything until I could find a tank for it all. That was 5 weeks ago.
I have a stand already from the 60 frag that I built with the intention of getting a 120, I'll be picking the tank up in a week or so from another member on the forum. I've been stock piling equipment and various things getting ready for it. I am also restarting my 30L from a year ago. I am still planning a 300 gallon display, this is down the road though for when we move out and into something more permanent.
This is what I hope to achieve by August. Most of the equipment is already bought, I have some of the fish and most of the corals I want as well as one nem - limited to the 55 at the moment.
