Okay heres my plans-
I have to take the tank down cuz of the flood in my basement, but its actually a good thing...I mean I've got some nasty water and algae biting me in the butt...so when we are getting the carpet fixed I'm going to scrub the glass, rocks, and filters, and I'm gonna take a thin layer off the sand... etc to make them clean of that Shyt..Then all the corals will go into a Tupperware container along with my fish..prbly a 30 gallon Tupperware..rock in a 20-30gallon Tupperware..2 PH in the coral tank and 1 in the LR..heater in each HOB filter in the coral--if needed...Im gonna have teh light over the corals and a small light over the LR..ima actually kinda happy about this cuz I will be able to kinda reaquascape, clean super well, and have my sump started when I restart this tank..ITS a perfect time also cuz school just let out..Don't worry this will only take a few days a week tops...

so i add my sump, clean, and do a big water change which are all good things...nothing bad..this should be a fun challenge

Maxima clams need the most care out of any clams. Why get get a maxima when you do not even have good T5s?
