Me too! I feel my system is finally ready for one. I have massive amphipod and copepod populations, plus, with a little effort, I think I can wean it onto a mixed diet.

Bc it would be Lame lol, Its just adding another box of rock and then the not fun moving tanks that weigh a gazillion pounds and transferring everything over.

Edit, I forgot, its not a 210, its a 240 oops. But same difference.

Your process may help others who have to do the same and don't have your experience or know-how. Nothing lame about that. Just a thought...

True. Didnt think about that. I do see a ton of questions about moving tanks and how to transfer things.. You might have just convinced me. Time for the world to see how many buckets and rubbermaid totes I have!

And probably time for the world to meet Sara, my wifes shark. That really she only feeds and I take care of in every other way, but still is hers for some reason...

I will be:

1. Removing my Tunze Calcium dispenser from my my ATO and moving it to a dosing pump to only drip at night.
2. Replacing/Calibrating new pH probe on Apex.
3. Clean mixing vial in Apex Trident.
4. Ordering another Tunze 3155 Osmolator as backup as my water level sensor seems to be acting erratic. Probably due to Kalk dosing too close to it.
5. Finishing up the last touches of my plumbing for the new build along with finishing touches on manifold in the garage.

I will hit you up for sure. I posted a couple pics of her after you asked to see.. Those were from several months ago, shes about 22-24 inches long now, almost 2 years old.

Haha, thanks! Plumbing is my favorite part of the hobby. On the build side of course.
One of mine, too! Though, clearly not as good as you. One can dream though...
