    Can anyone lend a hand with an upgrade?

    Thanks for everyone's input during the upgrade. We can take our time with the cycle. The fish are all in the 55 gal holding tank and I still have to refinish the stand and canopy. After that, re-do the plumbing but it doesn't seem all that hard. Sorry for the blurry pics. I will start a tank...

    Can anyone lend a hand with an upgrade?

    The LFS suggested not cleaning the filter sock. Good idea on the 1" of water on the containers. I did not think of that.

    Can anyone lend a hand with an upgrade?

    OK, the upgrade is imminent! It's gonna happen this Sunday (fingers crossed)! I talked to a bunch of people and a couple of local LFS for advice. So the plan is to use brand new sand on the DT and the sump. Use the seller's cured rock, a couple of his live rocks, and some of his sand to help...

    Can anyone lend a hand with an upgrade?

    Thanks for the offer guys! We're expecting to get the tanks and everything next Sunday (2/24). It looks like I'll be renting a truck at Home Depot instead of using our cars and possibly making an extra trip if things don't fit. So with the truck, we can take everything in one shot. I'll also try...

    Can anyone lend a hand with an upgrade?

    Do I also replace the sand on the sump? It currently has a DSB or maybe miracle mud.

    Can anyone lend a hand with an upgrade?

    Thanks for all the suggestions! OK, for the sand, is it safe to store it and dry it? Or does it just go to the garbage? I don't know if I should ask him to put it in a bucket or something. Can dry live sand be used down the road? Or too much potential for trouble?

    Can anyone lend a hand with an upgrade?

    I believe the rocks on the tank are currently covered in algae. We didn't see it because he only had blue lights on when we looked at it. He was in the process of disassembling the tank (I will ask to make sure the lights work though). The owner has a 20 gal mixing container filled with live...

    Can anyone lend a hand with an upgrade?

    That's what I'm afraid of. OK, I will look at getting new sand ASAP.

    Can anyone lend a hand with an upgrade?

    Another thing to complicate the upgrade is that I'd like to re-stain the stand and canopy. So that will take at least a day. =(

    Can anyone lend a hand with an upgrade?

    The 34 gal will be running, but it is full to the brim with corals and our current livestock. I wish we can use the 34 as a holding tank. Maybe for some of the new fish, but definitely not the angel, sailfin and hippo, clown and wrasse. Those are too big or may fight with our current fish...

    Can anyone lend a hand with an upgrade?

    So my wife and I decided to upgrade from a 34 gal Solana to a 120 gal tank! It is a full setup including the fish, a couple of corals and 2 RBTAs. The tank's condition is not the best. The owner said the tank crashed during Sandy and he lost motivation after that to maintain the tank. So there...

    Fengs Update

    My wife and I passed by there last night. This guy is AWESOME!! We got there really late but Feng was really accommodating and we never got any sort of pressure to leave or anything. We chatted about aquariums, fish, food, equipment, his 90 gallon start, etc. This guy is a true enthusiast and...

    Cabbage leather coral free

    Hi, I got a bunch of these corals a while back. After placing some cabbage leather on my DT and my in-laws' tank, I still have some left. Let me know if you want one. I may have 2 or 3 pieces left. I can probably frag the bigger piece into 2 if there is a lot of interest. The size of the...
