Well the rebuild went well! I've mixed up 45g of new water and kept 40g of old the tank is salty, and I am just letting the temperature stabilize and then will transfer the live stock in tomorrow, once I can get a good match in salinity and temp to the existing tank water. Then drip everything in a bucket or 2 and thats that! Thanks all for the help and suggestions, and thanks to Harvey and Josh at Marine aquaria for lending me all the buckets I needed lol made life Soooo much easier.

Clowns hermits, snails and a few zoas are in. Going to see how things look this evening before moving the sps and other livestock

I found using prodibio start up really helped Alot during the transfer. I used it when going from the 135g to the 180g with no losses. But didn't use it on the 26g. Even though I used old tank water. I was having ammonia issues. I added the start up am instantly things got better

Just a thought for ya ken

Thanks man. I have to rip up to big als to get some IO today anyway as i ran out so the salinity is sitting at 1.023 which is at the bottom end of where I need it lol may get some probido as well. I wonder if big als carries it? I would assume the other places around the south side are closed today. Clowns seem happy back in their usual spot already so that's good. I think I'll add the rest later tonight if I can get some probido or other start up

aggg... no probido at big als and blue world and marine aquaria are closed. havent tried red coral yet, but i really dont have time to go to the north end. any other products anyone can suggest that will do the same basic thing that big als may carry?

RC probably be your only chance MA doesn't carry it and BW is often sold out
