finally a sump

[martym]

I finally convinced my wife to allow me to add a sump tp my 75g tank . I got a 15g tank from big al's plumbed it all in today. Just mixing some new water to add. One word of advice to others, if you get a reef ready tank, set up ypur sump right away. When i got my tank ( a month ago) I added some PVC to the bulk heads and put valves on the pvc so the over flow wouldn't leak. Great idea, I would only have to wait for the wife to allow me to add a sump. Well I cracked open the valves and the smell knocked me out. When I came to, the wife knock me out for smelling up the house. It's amazing how quick water turns bad and smells like sewer . Anyway got it all flushed out and it seems OK now. I just hope the mag7 I got from Doug is enough for the return.

Yeah that sulfur smell is enough to make your mouth water eh...
I have had a couple of bad experiences with an overwhelming amount of sulfur content, I just threw out the subtrate after debating weather or not to rinse the puke out....
sometimes our bodys have instant responses that we have no control over... although at those concentrations, Im glad I didnt inhale too much...
