Not so much patience, as it was needing to get my house to be livable and needed to finish the room for the tank. We gutted the house down to the studs and rebuilt it back again. It was the most intense project I've ever worked on or managed. But that being said we took this 100yr old house and breathed another 100yrs of life back into it, and centered the remodel job around my love of fishkeeping.. it's been great, and yes I'm jazzed just to see a tank again
Now me next dilema, it getting the lights for the tank, I have a Tek T5 light I can use temp. But I really want to get Aqua Illumination Vegas, but at $500 a pop and I'd need 4 units it's a huge chunk of $$. But the LED system is the way reef tanks are going, product more light for less wattage and heat.
But I'll keep the thread updated as I make progress
