Well, lookie what we have here!!
It's really coming together nicely and looking great!
I got all excited seeing all that eggcrate because I knoooooooow what they're gonna be filled with!! Frags!!!
Totally normal with the water clouding up and looking like that at the top.
and sweetie, your father and your family will be in my thoughts and prayers. I, too, believe in the power of prayer and pray that God will touch your father with healing hands and that he will get better soon. You keep us informed on how he's doing, okay?
*hugs*

Looks REALLY good and its tottaly normal for the water to be like that. And I dont know how you got the egg crate to look so neat when ever I cut it for the tops of my tanks it looks like a mess
And I dont know if your already doing this but you should turn that HOB filter into a fuge. I have the same one and it works PERFECT for one just add a clip on light and some cheato and say hello to copepods and goodbye to nitrates

I would assume just use the little resevior where the water flows thru the filter pads. Take out all the filter media and replace with cheato, or I use lr rubble.

Take out all the filter pads and what not then put egg crate by the exit so the cheato cant flow into the tank then get a small clip on light it dose not have to be much just so it gets some light and then add cheato. Ill post my thread once I find it.

Well i got my light today.........and it don't work
I was soooo p(*&^% off! but the guy i ordered it from was really nice and he is sending me a new ballast tomorrow so now it will be like another week b4 it gets here.
Kat : I know I can't wait to get started! and thanks for the prayers, I just knew you were a good person!!!! no new news , more test today but he does sound better. thank you!!!!!!! *huggs back at ya*
Matt: I think thats a good idea, but I don't have anyother filter on there right now so I kind need the bio-rings and the sponge for bio-filtration. Aslo cant get any LR going now until my light comes in!!
I used wire snips to cut the egg crate, and I trimmed all the edges real well, took my time it was kinda fun!
andrew1113: don't worry about the jack! you and everybody else are always welcome to talk here! Open 24/7 I will leave the light on for ya

I went to my fav. LFS today and spent about 1hr talking to one of the guy's there, he said as long as I get the light in a week or so it would be ok. He made a good point, he said allot of people buy lR and put in there sump and it don't get any light there. But he did say if may start to die off in a week, you knw me I cant wait, I am like a little kid!!! so I just got a couple of rocks, $9.00 per lb!!! but they have the best around, lot's of color little shrooms and stuff. I an got a nice little xenia (sp?) I put in the nano, I will post a pic there later.
