Re: 240

Nope. I went to bed perfectly fine. Woke up...I felt like my eyes were bleeding. I dont understand how my eyes could get scratched while I was sleeping. Unless the sandman is real?

That's the reason you have them (and they have you)! Chin up!

So did you scratch your eyes with your sand? It's pretty easy to do.

Re: 240

You sure have had a string of bad luck! Were you out riding that bike? Sounds like sand in the eyes to me. Anyway, good luck on the move!

Re: 240

Well I did a large water change last night. Not that I really needed to.
Before doing the water change my ammonia was 0 nitrite 0 and Nitrates 10.
The tank has been running for almost five months and the nitrate is staying around 10-15. I moved a few things over from the 100 also. I moved my Coral Banded Shrimp. A Queen Concg, some random snails. And some corals!!!!!
I added my big Candy cane coral, large frogspawn, and my big green plate.
Everything has looked great today. and the clowns are happy to have thier home back. I am also ordering Phase one of my clean-up-crew tonight.
Finally adding some life.

Really, just when you get a 90 set up, everyone goes and upgrades to 240s and 450s. I can't keep up with this young crowd!

Re: 240

Yeah well, after having the 240 setup for a while it seems small. Maybe I should sell it and make a final upgrade toa 1000 gallon.
I will try to get some pics up this evening.
