    Sorry if this is a long post. I am starting over, period. I don't really like my tank the way it is now and I have learned so much over the past year and a half and their are a lot of things I want to do different.

    First off my fish are going to good homes and my corals are going to be well taking care of till my tank is ready for them.

    My tank will be drained (almost 3/4's) and I want to clean the glass real good. I am going to address my GHA and rid my tank of it. Extra rock will be added, as well as a new scape. The old rock will be scrubbed as their is some bubble algae to take care of.

    This christmas I have asked for some new equiptment. I will be gettimg mew bulbls for the nova, a BRS dual reactor, two 750 evo's, and an Eshopps PSK-75 skimmer.

    The tank will be refilled (with some new r/o water and salt mix) and re-scaped. It will then sit until my params check out. Over the next couple of weeks/months I will slowly start adding live stock and corals, being very selective of what I add.

    Does this plan sound good?

    It sounds like it is pretty well thought out. I wish you the best on it. It is going to be a lot of work but will be worth it in the end.

    Sometimes we have to take one step back to take two forward. Good plan hope the new year brings you a much happier reef.;)
