I boughts lots of additions. I started to stock up now. here are a couple pics!

I had a small bout with some dinos... fun stuff. It seems to come and go in my tank... one week it’s on one side of the tank, the next it’s on the other side.

I got some sand sifters from my friend the other day. 2 sleeper gobies and 2 conchs. The one goby came out had a look around then went and hid and hasn't come out since. The other one is all over the place.

I have added a few things since my last blog:

Watermelon, and a green centered brown skirt...

After waiting not even a month... i added some blue green chromis to help cycle.

Now i have some diatom blooms and all my levels are zero. I figured some hermits would be ok to add at this point.

While i was waiting for the lfs to bag them, the bag popped and hermits went everywhere. some went on the ground and people stepped on them so i grabbed them and put them in my hand..... then the guy mopped the rest up... so lucky i saved the ones i did. not a very exciting...

I had some problems with getting my flow to be prefectly balanced... I wish that i had used gate valves oh well hind sight is 20/20.

so here it is my sump/fuge!

it's up and running finally. Last week the first bucket went in.

I had huge problems with my vortech... poor design on their part. They had very quick responsive customer support but I am guessing that this is due to the fact they they know their product is defective....

Since i got the parts in (which are VERY different from the exitisting..) it has been working 1000% better.
