Crossing My Fingers

[sandy]

Well 'lil miss champian of the damsels... (me)... went to remove one agressive bugger and could not get 'em. So I got ticked. Nearly tore my tank apart getting them out. Now my two yellow-tails are in the 20 gallon.
The good part: less fish, lower bioload (I also removed a large hermit). There was a lot of junk under the rocks (probably the source of my NitrAte problem). I moved most of the sand out from under the rocks.
The bad part: I probably really upset the sand/rock/bacteria in the tank.
The worst part: Just found out I'm moving in a month (to another apartment in the same complex).
I guess I'll know by the end of the weekend if I killed anyone. I sincerly hope not.

Also, I've got the skilter running full blast... for a little while. I usually have it off because of all the bubbles it blows in the tank... but it is finally pulling out a bunch of stuff. Thought I'd let it run for a little while and see how much of the crap I stirred up will end up in the collection cup. I hope I've not made any fatal mistakes.

Oh, you're gonna have soooooo much fun moving that tank! Good luck!

lol. Just an update. Everyone is good and Ammonia and Nitrite are at zero. Whew! We'll see over the next few days, but I'm relieved. I did get a lotta crap outta the tank from under the rocks.
