HaHa I am just glad that I wasn't the one in there getting the sand out.

I get it fill today with water and vinegar so it will be nice and fresh when you come and pick it up.

I try to save you that huge bristle worm thats left in there.

This explains where I got all my bristle worms from.
The biggest one I've pulled out so far was 1" wide, an absolutely ugly MFer.

Thank you so much for giving me WORMS! Haha!

I can't wait until you get this tank flourishing like your old 210. And just remember that you can always fit the wife INSIDE the tank the next time there's a disagreement.

Default Just a small update

I have been busy for the last week or so, didn't get much done. I have also been fighting off a new tank syndrome hair algae outbreak since I nuked all my rocks by fresh water dipping everything for 4 minutes to kill all the pests.

I am almost finished my skin for the tank, all it left is fill and sand then off to a good friend of mine's shop to get it paint it.

I finally did some testing last night alk is at 6.5, cal is at 500, and mag is around 1100. No wonder the hair algae is growing out of control, I bumped my alk up a couple of points and plan to do a water change later.

Here are a couple of recent photos.

Tank is looking good, must say I love the rock placement as it looks nearly identical to the way I did mine.

I was gonna just paint it black, but now.... white would be pretty cool... I saw a redsea max unit that was white, it definitely look more modern. We will have to see what the commander (wife) has to say about that.
