Man I have not been paying enough attention to canreef lately. Stupid work. This looks pretty awesome. If you need a hand with the move give me a shout. Looks pretty sweet.

Yea i'm pumped about it. I just may hold you to that offer. Good to see you visit the site again. Wondered where you've. Maybe the other PG member on here will start posting again. I have yet to hear how his move went.

by the way, I really like your existing tank in that space. It's a great use of that space with the corner tank and looks like it fits there quite well.

Thanks kien that's why my wife is a little upset I'm going to a rectangular tank. She thinks it'll be too big and not look good in that spot. And she's probably right

But the most important question...will you cat still be able to reach up and enjoy the tank?

Haha yea she sits there for hours. The fish are not at all afraid. The other cat is not interested at all in the tank.

Oh my build seems so slow. Picked up 4 20lbs bags of sand, 2 Atlantic Crushed Coral and 2 Aragonite Sand. This cost me $120 locally. What would you guys have paid in the bigger city's? I'm going to be using about 5lbs of my old sand for seeding this stuff. I would really like to use straight sugar sand which I now use in my tank right now. I keep reading that people have huge sandstorms using the Vortech MP40s. I have never once had a sandstorm in my tank now using 2 and 1 MP10 at 100% but it must just be from the curvature of the half circle glass. So i'm not taking any chances since i'm going to a rectangular tank and will be running 4 MP40s on it. My last rectangular tank was 5 tanks ago.



Let the rinsing begin.

Decided to change the seal in my Barracuda pump today. They seem to go every 3 years.



Think i needed to change?
2 more weeks and the new tank should arrive.

I guess a lot depends on how open the aquascaping is. I had sandstorms even with heavier sand but eventually the sand gets tired of blowing around and settle in

So did you enjoy the rinsing part?
