Haven't posted in a while. Downgraded from an iPhone to a phone that barely has a camera. Just couldn't stand that expensive phone bill.

Replacing carpet with hardwood floors soon. Of course the tank is on the carpet.
I have my old 55 cycling, so hopefully can transfer everything over.
With all the sand I used, not sure if I can use all my rock.

Rinsing the new sand. I had forgotten how much fun.

 

[david42]

Sand and the first 10 gallons of water. People do this without rinsing sand ?

I used live sand this time around to avoid rinsing. I recommend putting a plate at the bottom and aim your water stream at the plate so it doesn't kick up the sand.

Ran 50 gallons through the RO. Have the tank filled and a shrimp in a filter sock .

The first rock transfer from the 75.

RO canister just Exploded.

Ammonia is still high .
Going to move more rock from the 75.
I am a little worried about moving too much at once. Don't want to crash either tank.
Would also like to take care of a couple bristle worms. I know they aren't all bad. Two I have seen are size of Canadian nightcrawler I use .

Yesterdays test.

Todays test. Ammonia is dropping and I have Nitrates.
Cycling a tank, the only time excited to see ammonia and nitrates.

Thanks.
I am a little worried about moving too much rock at once. Would hate to cause mini cycle in either tank.
