    thank you triple! I'm actually about to update. My new setup is on schedule for this Saturday! yay!! Finally!! I'm like you and a little nervous about it. I've never run a sump before but realize I'm behind the eight ball in this hobby without having one. So, away we go!

    Your gonna love having a sump OFK. Its really easy and so much more you can do. I'm getting a drilled 75 gallon for christmas, I can't wait. The 55 just doesn't have enough room.

    one more day delay - our friend changed Saturday to Sunday for set up. I'm mixing a ton of saltwater now so this transfer better happen tomorrow! :) I mean there does come a time when patience gets old.

    Need to get some pics up once the water clears. I actually have a sump! It's a miracle but the day finally came. All fish are accounted for except my hawkfish :( I sure hope he makes it......water needs to settle....hooked up my wp-25 - massive flow.......it's going to be hard to find a place with low flow now. Had to just dump in my rock since I couldn't see-still need to scape as well. My back hurts lol

    I sure hope so. My pistol shrimp disappeared too - I'm hoping he's hiding in a rock.
