Thought I would post some pictures of my jump back in. If I have learned anything with this hobby. Slow and steady is the way to go. There is no rushing this hobby. The first picture is the tank when it was brought into the house, months ago. After letting the old dead live rock (it was dry for 8 years) and slowly bring it back. This is how it looks now. My sump was my first attempt at making my own. I admit that I have learned from my mistakes and will be working on sump version 2.0. Enjoy. The day I saw coralline growth on my old live rock, I was jumping for joy!!
