Candi. Were taking over your thread since you found a good sump with a low water level, and hopefully up and running soon.
Carlo. The tenant has been in the house for 10 years, so I didn't want to question her on anything and didn't ask her to pay for it. I was just figuring that it's my apt. and I want the best of everything in it. In my openion, it must have been a cheap brand of sink if anything would have made a HOLE in it. I've had guys drop cordless drills in sinks and never even a scratch. That's a good idea about insurance. Thanks for the tip.

LOL no worries Mike.

I'm actually sitting looking at the sump right now and trying to get myself up to empty the cabinet and get it going :)

AO might have a new puffer for me (another green spot) today, wish me luck on a long acclimation to SW for it

Good luck. Do you think you should keep The green spot fresh water for a few days due to all the stress in the shipping process? Never did a transformation before, Thats why I ask.

I'm not really sure yet.... I know alot of LFS's actually get them in in brackish water (Trop said they do), OB said they thought it would be fresh with a high PH. I really need to see them before deciding how to move forward, a very small green spotted should really still be in FW or low brackish while a larger is ready for marine... so it depends what size they are as well. People on the puffer forum have report sucess doing the slow water drip, some for only a couple hours... I figured I'd do like people do with mollies and do at least 8-10 hours of a VERY slow drip (using airstone as well) I obviously don't want to shock or kill it. Best I could do for FW would be a 5g with water/gravel stolen from my beta or cherry shrimp tanks... not sure if that wouldn't be even more stressful to it.

If I could just go back in time and keep Wasabi from jumping I wouldn't have these issues :-\
