Cool

What a day for a move...


Man, what an undertaking. It was only a 20g but still... It took me about two and a half hours to get all the coral, fish and cleanup crew bagged. Thanks honey, master of the rubber band!

Cleaned out the sandbed while I was at it. Hopefully BB will be as simple as others say. I do need to clear cut a few pieces of LR. I don't know how I had it all in the 20 before(scratches head). Of course, I pretty much just threw it in there just so I could get the coral and the fish in ASAP. I could get it all to fit tighter, but that kinda defeats the purpose of BB.

All in all about a 7 hour ordeal. Started at 1pm and ended at 8. Course the weather sure didn't help the drive coming from St. Cloud to Eagan. But, its done and as far as I know. No losses. The milli's, table acro and monti's all seem to be farely happy as well as the lps and zoa's. No floaters. Knock on wood.

I'll take some pics tommorow to show you guys the new landscape. But for now, its Miller time!

Yeah, my only worries about BB is that I haven't cooked my rock. I have a bunch cooking but it is for another tank. So far there is ALOT of detrious on the bottom. Ah well, nothing a good syphon or two won't take care of.

As far as flow I believe I have enough, 1300gph and a remora for skimming. Maybe not bulletproof as far as BB goes.

But my sandbed was 3 years old and pretty dirty and I was just sick of it. About 2 months ago I added 1.5" to it and the tank did awesome. Didin't have to clean the glass for a month and a half. Then, all the old gunk worked its way up through the new layer and then I had algae all over the glass again, film on the surface of my water, etc, etc.

Enough of that crap. Well, hopefully it all works out.
