Sorry Dez

It was only 3 hrs and it was worth it

Joking aside I am glad I went and helped out. He was pretty sad about everything and he needed a push to get back on track and not shut it all down. I'm glad I was there to help him out and get the tank going again.

I am so sorry to hear about your tank crash. My heart goes out to you Doug. If it makes you feel any better we went through one semi-recently that involved all our SPS dying in a matter of days-and we are moving yet again in September-so I really empathize with how you feel.

Keep chugging along. You have every reason to: you know you are good at it, this was a freak incident and they happen to us all, RC has great pricing (esp. for employees), you have so many people who care about you and support you in keeping at it. I mean look at this thread! It is over a 100 pages long. That's not just because of the pretty pictures.

If you are bored waiting for the coralline to come back you could always skin that stand

thanks guys......

things seem to have stabilized over the past couple weeks......ammonia was at 0.....nitrates are still a bit high but not obscene at 30ish......so Ive started off with a few zoanthids, acans and due to a recent visit to E-town, I came home with some freebie sps frags(probably too soon for them, but they were free

) from Wes(bluetang3).....thanks again man!

I forgot to mention something cool that happened during the move.......I found that I had a hitchhiker fish.....thats right.....a hitchhiker fish......Mikey and I were pulling the last of the rock out of the tank and we notice this fish that looked sorta like my neon dottyback, but the colors were way off.....I thought maybe the NDB was showing some kind of stress patterning or something and then I saw the actual NDB.....anyways Mikey found what the fish was....heres a link... http://www.bluezooaquatics.com/produ...id=2030&cid=11

and as you can see in some of these pics, Im going through a major algea bloom.......bloom away I say and suck up some of these excess nutrients

some pics of the new acans.....

All these pics of corals makes my anticipation level go up... still working on the build and it's still a ways away.

What can I say Doug....I'm glad we got wet together

It was worth it and no worries I always know the right direction to push you in......reef wise of course

Still think you should get that chevron tang if it starts eating

BTW I can vouch for Doug.....he does have more then one rock, nice big ones too.

no serious thou that was really nice of you Laurie to take time out of your day to help out.. It seems that is what we do as reefer's to help out regardless of who it is.. there never isn't enough time to help all .
