so things are kinda in the new tank. I'm doing a real quick job of mixing up the rest of the salt water. I've got 450W of heating and 1000gph for aproximately 15 gallons of water in the blue rubbermaid bin . once it's up to temp I mix in the k-balanc, then the salt, then dump 'er in.

the light collides with the skimmer on the back of the tank now and there's not enough rock for the tank. I might dig out some of my dead/dried-out rock and rinse it well and use it as temporary filler or base-rock at the bottom. No $$ for fresh LR atm.

i'll post an update when the tank's a little more sane in an hour or two.

finished moving and rearranging everything finally. No wavemaker on atm because the longer tank requires both the maxijets to be on full force for proper water movement. I'll get another two maxijets down the road.

I'm going to have to upgrade the light. I'll procrastinate on that and do it when the mh bulb needs changing in 6-8 months. I might upgrade to a T5 system, we'll see.

Wow, that was quick! Very nice recovery.
