    Today is an unlucky day for you. :)

    Sorry for the disappointment. But I need to buy some RO water & I also need more salt. I should be getting that next week some time, I think.

    Although, I did put the plumbing back where it should be(sorry, still dry-fitted). Maybe I'll finish that this week. I brought over the main things I need to get the tank going again. I need to buy a new test kit. I lost the little color charts you read off of(to see what the parameter measurement is) while moving stuff over from the old house.

    Cool.

    If need be you can find most color charts on the web for test kits when in a pinch.

    :)

    I just image searched the color tests for my brand of test kit & I'll print them off. Thanks for the idea, Coralline.

    Oh, I've changed my mind on stocking. I think I want 2 yellow stripe clingfish, a Court jester goby, & a CB angel. I may add the horned blenny, but no tailspot.

    Was your other angel a CB?

    Sounds like a nice colorful mix, I am sure you will be happy with the choices.

    I would like to get this pendent(Portfolio 1-Light Mini Bronze Pendant Light); it will match the other lights in the house. But the only problem is it's not ling enough. :( The height above the tank(ceiling to water level) is 53". So I will need a pendent that is about 43" - 47"(preferably). But at 41", this pendent is too short...I'll see if I can find a larger version of the same lamp.

    ...having trouble linking to the Lowe's website.

    Bulbs will be ordered next week & I will most likely buy another 30lb bag of sand and another Koralia 450.
