Thanks zanoshanox.... hubby and i are very excited to get everything going. Doing some wall switching with tv and shelves ... then moving the tank back tonight and we did r/o for the entire house (very large unit) and they are taking care of the filter maitence for us. So after a couple of days we should have all the water switched and ready for fill. Got another shipment of rock coming around that time too so going to soon put the lr togheter in the tank add the water then the sand... and let her sit for a while until she screams "come to momma" then it is off to the fishie store for a baby!!!
