I have lost day's, all right. And a few nights.

Work on it for abit then take some time away from it Leah. I find it best to do it over a few days that way you don't get too frustrated and you may come up with a "plan" for placement of certain rocks as you ponder it between aquascaping sessions! I had the same problem when I transferred...all of a sudden it looks like the rock doubled in quantity!

Wow! So...you are making a trip to Penticton Doug?

Lots of support here for sure Leah! Something I find that non-canreefers have a hard time understanding.

Well Leah wate till yu get ride of the 25g and add that rock. LOL I wouldlie to be able to help more only if you were in the same town. You are so easy go and a very nice person, any way you have to also come up with that sump plan. Then egtthat up and running you willnot go back, it dose take some of the work out of it all like topping off the tank. you get an ATO for that and a bucket that fits in the cabinet that is also anouthe reason why I think a 40g sump would be good size that leaves you will room for other stuff. I have a JBJ ATO witha onamental water feature pump pluged into it.

Well I had the pleasure of going to visit Leah's new tank yesterday and it's really looking great!

Thank you Leah for letting me enjoy all your tanks with you and for the rock. I will make sure you get the invite when my new tank is finally up.

Hey Mark,

So nice to see you again. Seems like are visits just fly by...never long enough.
Hope the rock works out for your new tank. So excited to see it.
Thanks for all the tips and tricks. Next time you get down, it will be amazing.

Time for an update...left the tank for a week, as my Solar had a bit of a scrape on his face so decided that I shouldn't add to the stress for a while. But for the last two day's have been busy rearranging rock and adding a sand bed. Decided to not reuse my old sand as it had a Cyano out break, due to a rather extra large dose of Phyto Plankton...opps!

It will be so nice to get the sump going, so that I can get rid of all the junk in the tank. Will be working on that this week...so excited.

Have a large fish order planned as well. Ordered from Kelly at The Reef Shoppe.... thanks Kelly for putting up with me, while I made up my mind on what to order finally.
As always Kelly is awesome to deal with. But will save what I ordered... for a surprise later on.

For everyone who has been nagging me about pictures...will get them up in the next day or two, as it has been a little crazy around here....you guy's and gals...know how you are.
