Gomer's Elos 70 Journal (fo realz now!)

[Gomer]

Step 1: Find a generous soul to act guardian and caretaker to your coral collection.

Step 2: Frag everything (if possible) to a size that can be shipped at a future date and convert a cooler into a transport tank

Step 3: Relocate all coral to a new home for a stay.

Step 4: Convert another cooler to a temp tank which will hold all your fish, inverts and some rock for a couple weeks

Step 5: empty out all remaining rock/sand from a tank that has been neglected severely for a month

Step 6: get elo 70 delivered (movers will move it to NM)

Step 7: Take your wife and fish on a road trip (ok...it was more of a lets just get there trip so no exciting pics)

Step 8: Moving company unloads everything then I start unpacking crate (btw, nice job on crating Jesse!)

Step 9: Rockscape fun

Step 10: Get sump situated with tons of stuff without looking like a total nightmare (still got more to add including ATO and dosing jugs)

Step 11: Add water...let things settle...move fish from septic cooler to tank..turn on lights to test out....sit back and relax

Next step: Let things settle and get the kind guardian to ship over corals which will likely look better then when I left them lol

Good luck on the drive. I get to Silver City, NM on the 12th for ten days of hiking/camping.

Watching vinegar cleanup the old tank will be great.

 

[houser]

Umm this is BAR I think you should post your FOWLR tank somewhere else!!

HaHa

I just got home tonight after 10 days on the road and the stuff looks great bigger and more color. Got lucky and caught last 5 minutes of light to observe. I think the turbos bulldozed that one pico pico frag off the plug will search for it tomorrow.

 

[Gomer]

Finally had time to play with some rock...
Maybe I'll actually get it filled with water tomorrow.

More water, already :bigsmile:

 

[zepplock]

I would try to hide that overflow. Pile some rocks up.
Are you gonna add some black background?

 

[seminolecpa]

Is that a tumbleweed in your adobe?

 

[Gomer]

I hope not! I told him he couldn't come along.

 

[Gomer]

THanks zep. The overflow doesn't bug me and I'd rather see it over a rock wall

Not sure yet about a background.

 

[Tumbleweed]

Is that a tumbleweed in your adobe?

Nope I am still at home.

I hope not! I told him he couldn't come along.

Don't worry Tony I didn't. :*
