Default Sunday Oct 13 2008.

Now I have figured on how to insert Photos. thanks again for all the help. On Oct 13 2008. I when to pick up my tank. My friend from work that was selling it helped me move it. First we removed all the live rock, inverts and fish into 20 gallon rubber maid containers with water. We added heaters and air lines. we drained all the water except 50% we saved. We left the live rock, invets and fish to be picked up later. we moved the tank with the sand in it. On the way home I picked up 2 more bag of sand from LFS. We set the tank on the stand. Then it was all up to me. I set the tank to operation running. I washed the new sand mixing it with the old. I save half bag for the sump. I put a heater, power head and skimmer into the display tank. Added the save water. At this point I cleaned the tank. Then ever hour add 5G of heated salt mixed ro water. As fast as the ro purifier made. 10pm the next day everything was running. Day late I picked up the live rock, inverts and fish. i put them in climatized them first of course. I most likely did alot of thing wrong, not bad for a guy that did not have a clue. It came out good. Now I can start posting photo and progress of my tank over the last 9 months.
