Hopefully you don't have the same issue but if you do feel the need to upgrade definitely go 75g minimum.

Good luck! As i see it you pretty much started a 10g hdtv!

Ha ha HDTV! Nice!

Yes his rock was cured. 10-11 pounds came from Dez (TOTM) and 5 pounds came from Red Coral here in Edmonton. It went into my holding tank down stairs before making the trip from Edmonton to Regina.

I delivered it in a 5 gallon pail topped with tank water...so it never left the water for more than 3 minutes. I tried to minimize die off for obvious reasons.

I wonder... does anyone care enough to read signatures if you make them really small? I would not. I would probably moan and complain, read three words and swear once or twice. But since you made it this far, please rate my builds.

You should probably limit yourself to a cleanup crew for few weeks if you dont want to run the risk of losing anything pricey.

But if your an eager beaver gsp or mushrooms to get your "fix" for a bit, lol.

Welcome to canreef. Lot's of good people here but I wouldn't listen to paddyob though. I'm kidding Pat's a good guy. He told me you started a thread on your new tank and it looks like your off to a great start.

Did you water test again lately? If they come back good, you should be able to add your CUC.

I have been looking into ways to get a CUC to you. Those hermits are just waaaay to expensive in Regina to even consider.
