I guess my evening is booked, just developed a leak in my 25 gallon tank.

[ensquire]

Fish are in a rubbermaid for the nght with a heater and powerhead.
All the rock is in the new tank with just enough water to cover it. rinsed new sand , but still extremely cloudy. I have a couple pails of salt water mixing so that I can add it tomorrow. Anenome is in a bag in with the fish cause I don't want to have to pry him off anything when it's time to put him back in the tank. Took half an hour to massage him of the glass Learned a painful lesson about handling them without gloves .

Old tank has been banished to the frozen artic temperatures on the deck

So I have gone from a 25 Gallon to a 33, and for the first time my wife was right in there giving me a hand.I took this tank out or use before because I thought it was to big for the space, but it looks great. Only downfall was that in the rush I didn't have time to paint the back so I guess I will have to rig something.
Hopefully by tomorrow the water will clear and I can add the rest of the new water, and move the rest of the inhabitants back into their new home.

Everything moved over yesterday and I changed out the bulbs during the switch of tanks.
2 victims so far. lost a sailfin blennie and my flame scallop.
Carpet is NOT happy , nor the frogspawn or hammer coral,
Fed mysis and flakes today, a couple of whole shrimp to the carpet. Had trouble getting them to stick. Fed some Acan Plus to to frogspawn and hammer.
Water has remained rather cloudy so I added a bag of carbon today also.
The fish all seem fine as of today.
I'm going to mix up another batch of new salt water and test my parameters tomorrow.
What a disaster, I had the old tank running pretty smoothly and am off to Edmonton on sunday. Had every intention on picking up a few goodies for the tank including one of those nice clams at BWA. but unless there is a great improvement by tomorrow, I guess that wouldn't be very SMRT.

A couple of pics of the new setup.... Sorry just have Iphone pics
