So after stacking the rock say like 20 times, my back was killing me. I had hooked up the calc reactor and GFO reactor on the aquarium hanging over the side to stablize the water. I then looked over at the corals that didn't have light for like 5days+ and I decided they needed to be in the tank. I tested all the parms on the tank, and they looked good. The calc reactor had been running for over a day, I had no amonia, nitrates, nitrites were low and ph was stable.
After stacking the rock the last time, of course I didn't like the stack at all because my first idea was to keep the rock stock off the back glass, but that didn't work out for me AT ALL.....anyway maybe I should have went bigger [smilie=wink.gif] . After getting all the rock all of the containers I filtered the water that it was in through 100micron filters and put it into the tank to get the water level up enough to start trickling into the sump. So basically I have about 80% new water, 20% old water.
Then I started to move my corals over to the new aquarium. Most of them opened up immediately since the light was on when I moved them. I had my actinics on. WOW this tank is clear! Its like having suspended water in the room. The starfire glass was way worth it on this thick glass! I should be much easier to take pictures now through non curved glass.
