Did some de-constuction today... 15g wc with an attempt to suck up as much black nasty pockets of sand as possible.
got about 2/3 of the sand i can get to without moving the rocks around.
the new water felt a little cool compared to the tank water even though the thermometers read the same so i called it quits at that. try more in a couple days.
I changed my GFO and carbon over the weekend then came home on sunday <with a few frags from the lfs heh> to find my one milli that used to look at least kind of healthy bleaching/rtn from the tips.
assumed this was from the gfo and turned the flow to the GFO and carbon down to a trickle. The rtn has slowed down not sure if its done though. I hope that was the problem. that was the last thing i wanted to see when brining more SPS home to play with.
At the same time i chilled out the little frag tank i have been trying to make in my room, its still runing just in the dark till i can get real lights for it, the daylight cfl's that were over it were barely keeping the softies and zoo's alive. I think i might empty it drill it than tie it in to the main tank and get some real lights for it. as frag tank or larger fugue.. either one is needed heh
enough late night rambling i think changing all that water made me tipsy
