Alrighty.. Definately clearing up. I took picts before I dug out the rock on the bottom, need to move some sand to the back to even it out. there is a large rock in the middle under the sand and on the left as well. the scape is not finalized that is for sure.

4 shrimpies floating to kick start the cycle

Yes they are in pantyhose for easier removal

I will take more picts on Monday too... so hold on to your seats!!

1. stock coralife 50/50 light on

2. light off.. Hmm you can see my reflection in this one,,, Ignore that LOL

Whew! Glad you mentioned that.. I was beginning to think your house was "Haunted"

It's looking VERY good Brenda

ZAPCOnj · 01-10-2009, 12:20 AM

The tank is looking good bren! I like the look so far!... btw.. is that a part of the sahara in your tank? talk about a deep sand bed!

michelle9491 · 01-10-2009, 01:04 AM

I was looking at the pics again & I love that deep sandbed look! I wish I was as brave as you, setting that up in your office. I got a 1 gallon for a Betta & snail for my office, but it's never left the house b/c I couldnt stand the thought of it being there all weekend by itself, lol.

sambrinar · 01-10-2009, 12:03 PM

Thanks guys! The sand bed looks that deep b/c there is not much in the back. I moved some yesterday, and dug out some of the rocks before I left.

Kim you really know how to make someone worry over the weekend. LOL

The good thing though we did test the sump in case of a power outage, overflowed it once! Just once. Now when the pump is off it is about 2" below the top of the sump before it will overfloweth!

The return is slightly under the water and it was sucking water from the DT back to the sump, one vent hole and waa laa fixed!

Stay tuned for Monday!

wazzifam · 01-10-2009, 12:49 PM

Hey didnt mean to make you worry, just ment to say that it was nice to see that im not the only one that gets my mug in the shot~~ and it really looks fantabulouso!! Wish either of mine were so fortunate. Talk about seeing red, my tank looks like your lookin through rose colored glasses......

Keep it up and I love the deep sand bed as well!!

framerguy · 01-10-2009, 01:07 PM

Ahhhh, thanks for the pic fix!

sambrinar · 01-10-2009, 01:16 PM

Kim I am on my BB and as I scrolled down I noticed that it was Michelle that made me worry, sorry

Hi Greg! Thanks for stopping by

michelle9491 · 01-10-2009, 01:25 PM

Lol, I wasnt trying to make you worry. I meant, didnt want to leave "the fish" alone for the weekend b/c I'm wanna "those" that talk to the fish everyday & he's the only fish in the tank!

Glad you got the sump plumbing figured out, it took me 2 days to get it just right before I could sleep!

Monday? So that means no more pics until then? You will have to make up for it!
