I got everything back in the tank and everything looks good. The fish are hunting for food and so far I didn't lose anything. This only took me 7 hours and I have more live rock left over than I started with. Like 3 five gallon buckets. :D I have my big angel fish in a bucket and I almost lost...

I have two 40 gallon tubs and some 5 gallon buckets full of live rock and a bunch I had to bleach. I also have my diatom filter filled with powder because I am not removing the gravel and it will be full of detritus and I don't want to remove all of it. The first thing I will do is partially...

Tomorrow is the day I remove all the fish, dump out the water and re fill the tank and re aquascape. I have to go and get ashes first as it is Ash Wednesday and that is my wife's Idea. If I don't take her she will go by herself and I don't need her mad at me on a very busy day when my tanks life...

This is my biggest rock that I built from smaller rocks cemented together.

I am not sure my fish will survive through all this as it is a big change to go from real water that is very old to brand new ASW but we will see. If the tank crashes, and there is a real possibility of that, I will still consider it a success. Of course the fish may not see it exactly like...

I just found this "hunting" story on another site from 2 years ago. Once on an LZ a deer walked out of a clearing about 100 yards away. We normally ate C Rations and since we had a lot of Red Necks with us some of them decided to shoot the thing and one of then would cook it. About a dozen of...

I didn't realize I had so many fish and I even found this guy who I haven't seen since the day I put him in. I thought he croaked or jumped out someplace but he is fine and even colored up more. After I put the rocks back in, I am sure I will never see him again. :confused: I couldn't...

I have almost all the rocks out of my tank with just a few left to make the fish at home...Kind of although they are getting the horrors.. I also mixed about 110 gallons of ASW. Most of my live rock is still live in vats of NSW so I won't lose the life on those. The biggest piece I couldn't...

You could always build that shed, or for that matter, your house on wheels. That way it is portable and they can't tax you. :D

No one is crazy about paying taxes and I will also have to pay this year. I have no mortgage, no kids in school and no guardian angel that works for the IRS. What I did in my last house to lessen my taxes was how I built my home. They charge you real estate taxes for anything "permanent" you...

So far I collected from my RO/DI almost 100 gallons of ASW. I got to say, collecting real water is so much easier. To do that I get in my Jeep and back up to an ocean, In my case, the Atlantic. I sit in my car and enjoy the sounds of the seagulls as I watch the fish jump. I stroll to the back...

Still working on it Diana. Trying to figure how to clean that one large piece that is left as I can hardly lift it and it is covered in sponges and corals. :confused:

Good morning. This is a record temperature for New York in February. Almost 70 degrees and it should be about 20. Tomorrow night it is going down to 25. I took this at 630 this morning

They are not easy to find. I had t get them on line. My tank with most of the rock out for sponge removal

So far I have about 80 gallons of ASW mixed and I found and bought more large vats to hold water, fish, corals and rocks. When I mix up about 50 more gallons of water and heat it up, I will remove about 20 gallons of water from my tank to put the fish in and remove another 20 gallons of water...

Yeah a little small Diana. But I would love for you to have it. :)

Diana, come and get it. :D Now I am just waiting to mix enough ASW. I have about 80 gallons so far but I need 125 gallons. I am also repairing some DIY "Rock" also

For Sale....FREE. It looks much better than this picture shows and is a 5" Koran Angel. . Perfectly healthy. If no one wants him next week I will give it to an LFS for their show tank.

I now have about half of the rock out of my tank so I have vats all over the place. My fish are all looking for new homes and they are giving me dirty looks. The rock I cleaned pretty good will be going outside in sea water. It is very cold and dark in the hopes the sponge will die but not...
