Joel,....
I think that I can help you out. First, when the new tank arrives, you can set it up at my place, that way you won't have to worry when you're out of town
And secondly, I also have been using Prodibio, (more so before the reno) and was happy with the results. Just getting back into it now, since most of the commotion is almost over.

P.S. How's your place coming along,....almost done?
