My rocks are stinking up a storm so far  Should've shipped them overnight... 

Harsh cycle then? Do you want to maybe do some water changes to preserve the life on them?

I am! Two 100% water changes (I just switch them between the buckets) so far, fingers crossed for another one today and then another wednesday when I get more salt  

 

I've also got prime in there, and carbon, and added a few mL of Microbacter while I was at it

So, like remind me again why you keep saying you're going to kill everything. Sounds like you got this times 10.

Because everything that goes into my Fusion 20 dies! Except fish! The fish are fat and happy, which I'm thankful for. My snail bomb from John is also still alive, along with the blue legged hermit. (edit: also my pom pom crab, just saw her last night when I broadcast fed)

 

I ordered cuvettes from Hanna, which get to my place tomorrow - I'll test everything and see where I'm at. There's polyfilter floss in the media chambers, so I'll check their color and see if it's a heavy metal or just organics...

Everybody's gotta start somewhere and this would be a GREAT place to learn.

Yeah... don't read my lagoon thread.  I have a terrible time with return pumps.  Or read it and don't think the sicce syncra will solve your problems and you only have to put up with it for a 100 days...

Know what I use? Those super cheap Lifeguard pumps, DEAD silent.

And that's why I'm open and honest about what I spend.  Besides, hubby is a google wizard, he'd figure it out in thirty seconds anyways, so no point hiding it.  Hubby's an enabler for me and my hobbies though, so I struck gold apparently, as our rule is "so long as both get shiny".

Hope it has a not-so-secret built thread to go with it for those of us still saving up for a Peninsula 20 - or should I say a pair of them.... With APS stands too.  At least that's my dream, so hubby gets clownfish AND Kuhli leaches to watch (I'm allowed tanks, but apparently I do all the work and he gets to have a say as to what fish are in the tank)

The build will be in my thread Leather and Lace. My tank will be here Monday, we may be picking up M's RSM250 this weekend. Next weekend will be busy, take her 60 cube down, set up the RSM250 and plumb it all together.
