Got out for awhile back in 2011 or 12..thinking time to get one of my tanks running again. Be cool to see what new innovations have occurred since I got out.
Welcome back!
 
Tennsquire thank you!!! I met Craig at the MJ aquarium shop last week. Glad we have another shop this side of town.

SO just to keep myself motivated, Tank is clean and after I took a look at my rock, I decided to cure it out a bit before throwing it into a new setup. So the tank is still empty, but clean! Rock has been curing for 4 days and glad I decided the old tried and true methods...ammonia is way off the hook, as I would expect with rock allowed to just dry....let it feed and burn!!

In the meantime I have a JBJ 28 Nano that I cleaned out. It is finishing it's vinegar soak..had to get a brand new pump for it but that ok. I am going to sell this one I think. 28 JBJ nano, pump, Stand, and optional JBJ Led light..the JBJ Unibody.

Lastly as an Ex Digital Aquatics insider, I have several full and large controller set ups that work just fine and I will sue one to start the Nano Rimless..nothing wrong with it and I have brand new temp probes for it so use what I have before replacing..then I guess they become fancy Christmas light controllers LOL.
 
After 5 days the rick cure I think was a great idea. The Ammonia levels are ff the chart *ppm+, and already .68 in the Phosphate range according to my Hanna Checker. Going jsut let it run another week and then do a 1/2 tote water change. I can certainly smell the decay when I lift that lid.
 
Still high numbers. Just letting her go. Did a half water change to help evacuate but a mess. 2 more weeks and I get the scrub brush and bleach it.
