Carmie,
As of right now, I do not have a
sump set up, but I plan to add a
sump by the end of the year. I plan to use a CPR overflow box and an old 20G tank that I have from my childhood. Would that be a large enough
sump assuming that it is half full, so holding an additional 10 gallons of water and a stronger,
sump skimmer.
I topped off the tank with an additional 10 gallons last night and the tank is now full. I took some photos last night and I should have them posted by tonight.
I did tear down my old tank and added my 2 fish. This morning, I did a water test and i am not happy or proud, but here are the results:
Ph - 8
Amminia - 2.0
Nitrite - 2.0
Nitrate - 10
Phosphate - .5
I have 10 gallons of saltwater so I will do a PWC tonight afterwork and one tomorrow or Sunday. I thoght that, even though I was adding new rock, my old 45lbs would be able to keep up with the die off and keep the system ok. I figured that the die off wouldn't be more "waste" than 2 adidtional fish (Since I had 4 fish with 45lbs and lost 2 prior to the transition)
I knew better but thought that the old rock could support everything. I guess I was wrong. I am already very late for work so I will post an update tonight on how my tank is goings
John
