Default rebuilding the reef.

Well Saturday I finally got off my lazy a$$ and tore the tank down, scraped the coralline off the glass and drained it.. scraped more coralline and siphoned the crud out of the bottom, after putting 5 gal of calurpa in my compost.

anyways once it was cleaned up I filled it dumped 2 gal of bleach in it and turned it on. tonight I neutralized the bleach and drained the tank, filled it, ran for 10 min and drained it again now I am filling it once more. if it runs clear I will be putting 5 gal of vinegar in it and running it while I am camping.

more to come.

Steve
