I'm so sorry to hear this too.

Stay strong, we are all thinking of you.

I would just like to say a huge thank-you to each of you separately, but it will be easier for me to here. I have received everyones PM's to, and thank-you for all the kindness and offers to help if and when it is needed. If I have not sent one back yet,

I am sorry, I hope to very soon. It is sooo greatly appreciated. So hard to express how truly grateful I am to the very special friendships that have come from many Canreefer's.

Pretty sure you all
know, I think you guy's are amazing and have helped make this so much easier already.

Dan, please tell Reena, thank-you! She is to good for you.

Jeff, OMG! I think I did it.

You would laugh if you could see the huge mess I have. And have still not touched since Saturday.

Thought I should update you guy's about the tank.

We managed to get it filled and have moved everyone back in. It is not beautiful by any means, at this point.

I just started to panic and wanted to get everyone back in as quickly as possible. I can not believe that it went so well, I did not lose anyone. Pretty much a miracle, as while trying to do all this, I spent basically the day back and forth on the phone as well. Pretty sure that someone was watching out for me.

My cousin came out to be with me for a few day's, and I am pretty sure he had no idea, that I would quickly put him to work on this.

He is probably thinking of what excuse he can find to get out of here.

I will get pictures up today, but be warned it is not pretty.

So not for the faint of heart. Hope to get the mess cleaned up and dive back in today and arrange the rock. And of course the first bucket I emptied back in had all the small rock in it. So then I ran out of room and all the larger stuff had to go on top. Opps!!!

What a plan I had.

I have been trying to make it look better.

But geez! I have a crap load of rock, I don't understand, it is just the rock from the 72. And for some reason I think it has doubled or something.

Trying to make it look good but it is just not working, I guess it will eventually right.

I have lost day's, all right. And a few nights.

Work on it for abit then take some time away from it Leah. I find it best to do it over a few days that way you don't get too frustrated and you may come up with a "plan" for placement of certain rocks as you ponder it between aquascaping sessions! I had the same problem when I transferred...all of a sudden it looks like the rock doubled in quantity!

Wow! So...you are making a trip to Penticton Doug?

Lots of support here for sure Leah! Something I find that non-canreefers have a hard time understanding.

Well Leah wate till yu get ride of the 25g and add that rock. LOL I wouldlie to be able to help more only if you were in the same town. You are so easy go and a very nice person, any way you have to also come up with that sump plan. Then egtthat up and running you willnot go back, it dose take some of the work out of it all like topping off the tank. you get an ATO for that and a bucket that fits in the cabinet that is also anouthe reason why I think a 40g sump would be good size that leaves you will room for other stuff. I have a JBJ ATO witha onamental water feature pump pluged into it.
