We sold our 210 gallon fish/reef tank and Wednesday was the day it got emptied :( Our friend Randy came and took out all the corals and rock and then (really) late that evening Steve and I had the privilege of cleaning out the (really really smelly-think sulfur) gravel, water and whatever else was in the bottom of the tank after having it over seven years (with salt water tanks you never completely clean out the tank you just do a 10% water change weekly.) It took us several hours but we were glad to have it done. It was the first thing we put into our house when we bought it and moved in and we will miss it for sure! I have lots of memories of rocking my kids in that room at night before bedtime. It was so relaxing just watching it and losing track of time. It was such a beautiful tank and I already miss the sound of it (the house is so quiet now), but it will be nice for Steve to not have to worry about the cost and time that goes into maintaining it. We may eventually get another one (probably smaller) but will enjoy having our office back upstairs for now...
