Mike, that's really nice of you! I'm actually all the way over in Dublin. It took a few days, but I got it all sorted out. I managed to drain the water from the sump and most from tank. It took 4 days of mixing, but I got everything filled again. PHEW! :eek: That was a chore!

Thanks you guys. I was afraid you would say that. I will drain, rinse my rock and sand and start over. Well, at least I got the title of my thread right. :D

Yeah, that's what I what thinking to. Dang it!

Amazing pictures!

She's gorgeous!

Total newbie here, so can't speak to your fish load, but I love your Gold Torch.

Thanks! I really hope it doesn't get any worse than that.

Wow! Love these two. What are they called?

Okay, so up to this point (in my journal) my "bumbling"has been.... minimal. Couple plumbing issues, rock structures needing to be shortened. No biggie, right? Well then I had a couple of doozies, one right after the other to. The first problem occurred because of my impatience, and because I...

My kit arrived today, so I tested. The API change in color from 0 to 0.25 is slight. I don't think I was at quite 0.25, but I was closer to 0.25 than to zero. I also tested the phosphates in my QT, which I set up about 4 days ago with no rock or sand, and there was a slight difference in the two...

7-8 months? Geeze! I reall didn't think phosphates would be at big on an issue. Based on gimmito and nryh's recommendations, I did order the API kit which includes a phosphate test. I will start checking when it arrives. I don't think I can hold out for 8 months before getting livestock in my...

Tonight I was going to write all about the first (and hopefully last) time I flooded my living room floor, but my Reef Angel arrived today, and I'm way too anxious to get it all together for much more writing. EEEEE!

I love it! Thanks for sharing.

Your ponies are pretty!

Hey Hey Jim, What do you think about those Hannah Checkers? I was thinking of buying The Hannah Checker kit (which includes Phosphate, Calcium, Alkalinity and pH) from Marine Depot.

Oh wow! Really? I'll pick one up tomorrow. Thanks SO much for the heads up!

In my continued attempts to keep myself from stocking my tank too soon (out of impatience), I will write about my rock work Before all of the plumbing started, I purchased 40 lbs of pukani rock from BRS and left it currying for about a month. I wonder if this was really necessary since I never...
