So far so good.

Will someone be swimming around in there to place corals?

Yes I will have to do that initially and then hopefully hire someone else to do the job if the hotel is profitable hahahaha

Using my furnitures and other decorative materials as hostage . If everything goes well all hostages will be saved from flooding .

Must come and see in person and help me fix the one red dragon pump which broke during transportation to BKK . Hope to see you in BKK soon.

Looking great! How long will you be curing the rock? How will you cycle? Add bacteria and ammonia or fish-in?

While the tank is full of freshwater and you are running all systems to ensure operability and testing for leaks, I suggest you get some freshwater tests and check to see what, if any, kinds or unwanted pollutants are coming off your rockwork, e.g. nitrates, nitrates, phosphates, etc.

I would take it up a notch and send to triton few samples are you make changes.

After three days the bacteria has worked wonderfully to clean up fresh water in the tank . I have not managed to get the pumps running and get everything plumbed yet as my plumber just suddenly disappeared without a trace . So I have to hire another plumber to finish the job .

Have to wait until I have tested all systems with fresh water and then I will start cycling the tank with sea water .
