    Hello all,


    Thought I would post that we are making a move on some tanks. I have to tare down my 40 breeder setup to make room for my 220 gal tank. So I am moving everything to my son's nano 28g tank.


    Here are some picture:

    Kyle has this figured out. He can just keep adding tanks and pawn them off to the wife as the childrens. Brilliant. /DesktopModules/ActiveForums/themes/_default//emoticons/smile.gif

    Ha Ha! No this is his and he paid for the Light to be built! He really liked his 4gal nano and just wanted more fish. I am really surprised my wife let us go upstairs with it,but I told her I have no more out lets down stairs or wall space. lol

    I have this all planed out in my head and I am finally making a move in the right direction. Forward! lol

    Update! Day two:


    After letting my Hot Magnum cycle on the tank and Pumps go over night its clear. Added some live rock tonight after a 12 hour shift at work. My son was very excited to see rock in there and said he can't wait to get his fish in there.

    OK Day 3! First set off fish added. Clown pair from the 40 breeder. This was setup with water from my DT and new water. I also used some of water from Sea Of marvel! Live rock has been cycling for several weeks in clean heated and moving water.


    I will keep an eye on the water parameters and keep adding fish from 40 breeder over the next few days to a week.


    I need to get nano skimmer and fill filter media basket with some chemi pur!


    My Son is loving it! "Man, Dad that looks crazy great!", "Man, Dad you did a great job helping me set the rock up just like I wanted it to look."


    Got to love it!
