Well, I am officially out. My back pane of glass popped on my this morning while I was trying to remove a snail from my drain pipe.. Emptied a good portion of the tank onto my bedroom carpet, the rest i was able to syphon out..

Saved the GSP, frogspawn and one batch of zoa's to the 75G. My orange plate, pink buttons and blue zoa's are on my frag rack in my 20G...

I've decided to not rebuild.. I'm too busy right now to start over..

Damn, you should consider rebuilding. If there's anything I can do to help, let me know. I'd be happy to mod your next 10 gallon for you if it means you'll stay in the contest.

Yea, needless to say I wasn't a happy camper this morning at 5:40am..

And I didn't have enough time to properly empty the tank, so the LR will be sitting out in the open air all day. I'd have to re-cycle the tank which would eat in to the contest time. I just don't think it's worth while to re-build, after cycling for another month, it will only leave me 3 months for grow-out... I really got no time between now a the New Year to do any work on it.

that is really sad. I think your tank idea was excellent and as others, I was waiting to see how it grew out. Please reconsider and restart the tank. Is there no way you could just stick the rock into your other tank sump so it stays healthy??? There's gotta be a way to do it! You've put so much into the contest itself that to be out is a true shame.

Ah, drag dude! Really sorry to hear the unfortunate news. I was also looking forward to this Hawaiian Biotope. Again, sorry for all the troubles.
