I think what Sas is saying is don't put your ear too close to the end of the tubing because the vacuum will suck your brains out through your ear. I know that hurts like heck!

Fortunately, my wife gave me a piece of her mind.

Sooner or later that happens to all of us. You really didn't want your OWN mind, now did you?

see attached, as siphon enters ear canal, the brains starts to lighten in coloration and depart, leaving an empty spot for the spousal insertion of the "Honey Dew List" clap your hands over your ears and go BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH until empty spot has refilled with barley extract and hops

Sas: Am out of beer. Will fresh lime juice, Cointreau and Tequila suffice in proportions of 1- 2- 3?

Launch Update.

Back of tank painted black.

Live rock rock frame painted gray.

Filled tank with fresh water two weeks ago for 48 hours. No leaks.

Tested it with damsel.

If I can get my nephew over here, this weekend!

Frankie · 04-18-2008, 10:59 PM

Nice! Thats the best water test result i have ever seen!

fishnu · 04-18-2008, 11:07 PM

I used DI water, but damsel was still exhibiting some stress.

What can I do about a Damsel in DI stress?

tbittner · 04-18-2008, 11:07 PM

I think I'd remove that blue stuff from your tank. That can't be good for the inhabitants! It might scratch something important!

sasquatch · 04-18-2008, 11:34 PM

I would try a little buffher

fishnu · 04-18-2008, 11:42 PM

OK, slap me with a grouper.

Anyway, I have to start planning some life for a couple of weeks. Naturally after six months of di...er...messing around I want to throw a tuna and a lobster and a mermaid in the tank.

Generally on start up is it best to confine myself to LR, CUC and a couple of hardier fish like damsels for the first month or two? ? Or can I begin to experiment with other invertebrates (mushroom, anemone, leathers) sooner?
I know I will get a small cycle even with very cured LR, and I need some organic equilibrium to set in.

Who wants to throw a suggestion on the barbi?
