EveNing gang,

I am proud to say my whole day was a nap, interrupted by lunch and a quick errand.

Anyone ever go to Petco.com and look at their saltwater fish? They have some ridiculous prices on some odd fish. I have been tempted to try it out. I would assume it ships right from a wholesaler so it may not be that bad.

Purple tang, $132

It was leaking between the dry overflow side and the tank

Actually the petco by my parents place has a surprisingly decent saltwater section. And a surprising selection of fish for a petco. Prices weren’t any worst than the two LFSs I frequent. May give it a try sometime

This is the overflow arrow pointing to where water was coming from

I ran out of water. Figures. So water is a mixing and I am relaxing. Have a wave maker moving the water so it breaks the surface. House is a mess but I’m living the look of the tank already. As soon as I can add a bit more water and get the water flowing from sump to tank I’m sure things will clear up. Still have a few corals to move back to display but they are in the sump for now
