Why?

[new reefer 03]

they didnt have my onyx nassarious snails in, and i decided to have them wait, and get the onyx. on the other hand they called, told me, and offered me regular nassarious snails. im picky lol. its hard to get black in a tank, and that is one way

Trying to keep up with you guys.
Scott, why are you wanting help catching the hippo and sailfin. Those are two awesome fish. Is it becuase they outgrew the tank or are they evil?
Is your tank also a 90?
J - OBTW great new cronicle thread, even though its way sidetracked. But to get back on track with a question you asked a few pages back:
If your purple tang is in the 50 you still need to tear down that stuff for your 90 so your purple tang will still need to go into the QT tank while the new display tank cycles.

Well, now that family time is over, which consisted of me and dad playing computer games, let me answer this question and MAYBE get back on some form of topic cause I do have a few reef related questions.

My plan is the let the 55 run as normal for a week or two while I get the new tank drilled, overflow installed, stand stained and such, etc. Then all at once I would like to use about half new water and half old water, have fish in buckets or small tanks for a few hours, and get everything transferred over from one tank to the other all at once, maybe a 4 hour process. Rock from the current 55 and the 90 to get the best look, sand bed in place, 1/2 new water and 1/2 water from the 55, and then be done with that. Sound like it may work? I dont think it to be a long process, I want to get everything ready and then bam...new tank up and running in the blink of an eye.

However, if that doesnt work I have a 10 gallon and a 20 gallon that will be ready take fish if the need arises, and the 10 has a frag rack in it which will fit all of my corals, and has a 130 watt pc light sitting over the tank.

you will probably want to move the fish in last after the cloud from all the stirred up sand settles which would be the next day rather than hours.

[Jeremy0322]

I wonder if there is any way around that cloud. Anyone have any thoughts on this? This was my current plan..

1. Move fish into buckets and small tanks
2. Set up rock work in big tank.
3. Lay all the sand out.
4. Set plastic wrap on sand, then a plate, then a tupperware of some sort, then pour water in slowly. Melev does it something like this I believe and it doesnt kick the sand up, so I will do it that way and see how it works!
5. Then, after everything has a little time to adjust start the short accimlation period for the CUC and the fishies. Not all of them are going into the 90 though, the red scooter blenny is probably going to someone else, I would like the opportunity to get a mandarin at some point down the road. Anyone have any thoughts on how he would do with the 6 line, I know they compete for the same food but i will have somewhere in the neighborhood of a 15-20 gallon fuge?

[Jeremy0322]

So I found another HK 4 today for a good price and am going to try and pick that up, which will be some nice flow for a 90. So far I have atleast this..

-(2) HK 4's
-(2) HK 1's
-The return from my mag 9.5 through the loc-line

....which should put me around 4000 or above, which is around 45x the tank volume, which would make me happy with that. Also, im looking for suggestions for not disrupting the sand bed while adding water?

I love it, its much easier to get an actual idea of what you wanna do compared to a pen and paper. Im just not that good at it yet, but in time ill get better, i have no doubt.
