    Well just moved my 29gal setup from my apartment to my girl's house. What a PAIN!!!!! Just saving the water in buckets, gal containers, & what not. Lugging it all is not fun. Just now setting it back up again. I've taken some pic & will be posting shortly.

    Added more water & started my filter. Some of my LR. Had to put a heater in the bucket. During the move, that water that I had in the back of my truck, dropped to 68 degrees. Grabbed my 300w from my 90gal setup to start warming up my tank. Water is starting to clear up.

    These pics were take at 3:00 in the morning. I finally went to bed at 4:30

    Tank started to clear up. As you can see the temp was slowing going up. I had one of my powerhead blowing water onto the heater to rush the process.

    Added more fresh water to the tank about 4 gal worth. When I tested my salinity last night, it was at 1.030 some how my salt went up. Could on been from moving & loose salt falling into the tank. As you can see the tank is crystal clear & all livestock it very happen. No losses ;D With my little helper.

    The heater is from my 90gal, I used it just to rush the heating process. That 300W get hot! I burnt my finger on it.. Live stock is back in. Posting pics now. I used all of the water, LR, & crushed coral. I really didn't want to use the CC, but didn't want the tank to cycle. When I get the 90gal going & set my 29 as a QT, then I'll change out the CC...
