We had a call recently from one of our previous clients. It was devastating – while on holidays there was a power blackout at his practice and it had a traumatic effect on his fabulous salt water reef tank. The sensitive eco system was all but destroyed…
The question is ‘do you replenish or abandon?’
It was a tough decision – this tank had been a passion since we designed it four years ago (not to mention the tank from the before the redesign). But priorities change, right? His focus was been becoming more about family, more about ‘work/life’ balance.
So where do we come in? I think our client didn’t know who else to call that could possibly understand his dilemma – who better but the designers who created the centerpiece in the first place!
For me it was a no-brainer – the comment that clinched it for me was that he was stressing about whether the beautiful, wondous species would survive the weekend without a check up. The thing had to go! If you’re losing sleep, something has to change..,
We assured him that we weren’t offended that he was removing part of our original design and that we could come up with a replacement design to dress up the soon to be empty corner if he so desired. I called him a couple of days later and the decision had been made – the tank was going.
So now all we have to do is come up with something fabulous and interesting to look at for that soon to be bare corner – let the creativity commence!
(I’ll let you know how we go! And if you know of anyone looking to buy a well loved, beatifully designed fish tank…drop us a line 
!!!)
