Oh Ye of little faith!

Yeah, I'm enjoying just watching it the way it is. I asked about the green "growths" we have in our tanks and got a reply in 'ID This'. Nothing to worry about. Think I'll keep mine and see how much it grows. Also, asked about too many bubbles in the sump (210g) and got a suggestion.....making a U tube for the down pipes. Now I remember you telling me to add U curves for the pipes. Will get those made tomorrow. I haven't seeded the tank w/coraline scrapings. I may just let nature take its course and wait for the coraline to grow. The frags you gave me are all doing well and (so far) seem happy. I'm so tempted to make another trip to the coral place in Columbus, OH but I'd better hold off until the 210g is ready to support them.

You need to seed for coralline to help the tank get started after nuking all the rock, try not to cut corners on this type of cycle.

OK. I'll do that tomorrow also and let you know how it goes. I'm going to scrape the back of the 75g tank and catch the coraline flakes in a fish net....then release them onto the rock in the 210g. With the pump off, right? Or does that matter? Thanks Otty! See folks? He keeps me on the straight and narrow.

Turn the pumps off and leave them off for about 2.5 to 3 hours. I also picked up you two finch feeders today that I will give to Jim at work this week.

OK. Hey, thanks for picking up the finch feeders! I can have Jim pay you cash or send $$$ via PayPal. Let me know.
