Anything I can do to help bud just give me a shout. If you where able to bring the tank here we could easily move the overflow, repaint the pack and build a stand in the shop in a day easy.

Thanks for the offer greg. Its funny cause after I posted this the skimmer kicked back up and the tank cleared up a wee bit. Still none the less, I hate my wooden stand lol

I've decided to let the tank run for a bit while I collect everything I need and than just hit it off in one weekend. July is really not the right month to do this since I am busy almost every weekend. I think once it is over and done with I will be statisfied with the final outcome.

As for live stock.... pushing it back till september. lol I have been trying to start up a new dart frog tank for the past couple of years but my fish tank keeps setting me back lol

Well this crazy guy needs someone to slap him

had a few friends talk some sense into me, plus my dad lecture me on money lol

so sps has started to go back into the system. everything is starting to turn around and this is the best the tank has been in just over a month.

As always... problems continue. Last night my tank started leaking at the check valve and some of the connections. So now this weekend I get to drain half the water, re-plumb the system, than work from there. I am probably going to hardline it to the check valve and after that I want to use flex line to the pump. next month hopefully I can skin the stand.

Will have to throw up some pictures later this weekend

dude, thats all it has been! aww one day it will be where it was again

finally some tests I can follow up with:

Salinity 1.025
Calcium 410
Dkh 7.5
No3 3ppm
P04 0.25

sadly I got rid of my Mg kit in the move but hopefully its consistent with the other measurements.

On the crappy side, has some rtn and stn this past week. The frag i got from fishytime decided one day that it hated its life and a pocci I got has a week bit of stn on it. I'm really hoping it bounces back.

On the bright side all the frags from dez are doing great! great extension from the milli

Also I am week 6 of dosing prodibio and wow is the only word i can use to describe this product. The 2 surviving sps from the original set up are starting to show great growth and color. The pink birdsnest is growing extremely fast and is starting to get that hot pink color and my tenius is starting to show some really nice blue on the tips.

So fingers crossed. I will have to shoot some pictures tomorrow

Finally pictures. The tank is looking better and better. I still have to re-do the return plumbing so early next month that will be my mission during a water change.

sorry all were taken with my iphone. can't find my cable for my digital
