    Is that supposed to make me feel better? :cry:

    Dude if I crack my tank I think I might cry. Seriously.

    I think she'll be excited about me buying a brand new All Glass reef ready 210. ;D

    I nuked the tank Tuesday night and my whole house smells like a swimming pool.

    I'm going to stir the sand up really good tonight in the display and fuge so the bleach can work it's magic. Also going to rinse the rock that's been soaking and get it in some fresh water...

    As soon as I walked in tonight I thougt "Did he add a swimming pool in the basement??" Can't wait to see how everything goes, it will be fun. Hopefully we will find so many morels Saturday that all we have to do the rest of the time is sit around and work on our tanks this weekend!

    I am but I'm trying to keep this sand for future projects. I'm not leaving anything to chance with this whole project. I've already got 50 pounds of sand sitting at the house and I need to go clean out PetCo again... I'm hoping I don't need much more than 100 poounds but I have a feeling I will becasue I think my fuge alone has 30 or 40 pounds...
    I'll start with 100 and go from there I guess. ;D

    Otty I talked to Tangster about what you mentioned with pulling the water for the closed loop through the overflow and he didn't know if the overflow would handle it. I told him I didn't care how it all worked out. Just looking for opinions and seeing what the pro's say...

    Actually let me back up and say that Tangster didn't say it wouldn't work, only that my overflow would need to be 12 inches wide and 5 inches deep. I'm not above doing that. I just want to be able to pump water through this tank like it's my job...
