May 6, 2006:
took down the anemone tank, put the rock and anemonae in the seahorse tank, only 1 seahorse left, with rockwork, is now lower level for seahorse to stay safe.
Reef tank getting too warm sitting in the window on sunny days, chiller not an option now.
Moved the tank to the wall, since I was doing this, decided to put the MRC sump in the stand, giving more room for live rock and more water; the skimmer is 36x18x18, approximately 40 gallons effective water held. This took several hours, since to get the sump in i had to remove the tank from the stand. now done and looks great, rearranged the rock a bit better, so more open areas, less dead space to flow and less rock in the main tank.
In the process 50 gallons new water added, 30gallons old water discarded.
