Well, I think The Cycled rock & 30 Gallons of SW from my other 2 tanks helped Speed things up. I have dropped a few brine shrimp in over the past week.
I Got a med. spike in Nitrites .25 & Nitrates 20. and Amoni. is .50 Not jumping right in . Still letting it do it's thing . But progress is under way. She picked up a nice Sock filter setup for the sump. SO I guess she will be hot on it getting the sump done this weekend. She gave the skimmer a good Vinager bath & scrubbed it all nice and clean. We have not had any luck with a local supplyer of the Jebao dc-3000 pump she REALLY wants. So We may have to settle on that Quiet one 2200. |

I here ya.
I think It is a must to have a pump & sump system going by this weekend. Think she may settle for the Quiet One 2200. ( it is at a local Shop ) ( I have to admit. I have taken alot of the free time we have picking up my New Project, ) 180 RR and a 100 Sump I'm trying to design.. My upgrade thread is next. |

Update on the crew.
So far ( little girl sea biscut eats like a pig on live brine.) Rody would not eat untill today..and then pigged out on live brine. Slim started feeding today as well. ( big girl Hidalgo on ate 2 brines yesterday...and didn't eat today. I have seen her peck at the rock & glass at some pods...Fingures crossed She will follow the rest of the crew. SAlthough. She does have the most body mass over the other 2.

Just out of curiosity, have you thought of using Tonga Branch Rock at all for hitching posts?

My Wife is in no way done with the build. So I'm sure she will be looking into other hitching post for them. I think our biggest concern right now is the Larger of the 2 females ..She does not eat alot . just a peck or 2 ( that we see ) . Maybe she is more active at night . But I did swing by and pick up a few different types of Pods yesterday.

Do you run a religion at all? I was thinking of running a CPR AquaFuge 2 with light and keeping it populated with pods.

well we had a good & bad day with the ponies.
The Good The big girl finaly ate after 5 days of 1-2 pecks here and there. She ate nonstop tonight . The Bad. Rody Found his way into the return pipe today , ..Made it past the overflow not being used...Pic below. The wife said she had just seen him before I got home. So he was only in there for maybe 20 mins. Took him a few hrs to relax again,, but starting feeding shortly after. Here was the issue. Here is how I addressed the issue.
