I got the tank under control after a big bout of algae.

Big set back;
The return pump has been making noise, and leaking. The leak got bad so I decided it was a good idea to try to tighten it up. Well I found why it leaked, there was a crack. Cranking on that was a bad thing. Story short I took 6g of water to the face and the whole system is shut down. A replacement pump should be here tomorrow.

Sorry nothing much has been happening here.
My pump was giving me trouble, the replacement too. I went up a size, maybe I was just putting to much load on it. I have to get some plumbing bits to install the new one. Once I do that I'll need to get the water back inline and from there I can start stocking it.

I got the new pump in its all up and going. I just need to get some ferts and livestock! the fun part begins.
