sorry to hear randy.

Randy, the losses are very disturbing. I'm so sorry to hear that. Would it benefit the system to do daily water changes, taking water from your established system, adding it to the new tank and replacing the fresh SW into the established system? Seems to me you'd be adding nicely matured, cycled water to the new tank and exporting NH3 & NO3.

Just my thoughts. Please keep us posted.

this is a sound solution..im sure u want the cycle to progress and complete itself but concidering the fish r distressed, it would be good to do some w/c's

Not a bad idea Russ/Mike. I'm making water as we speak. Will keep you posted, but the outlook on this front is not great. RD

Randy,
Sorry to hear about the losses. Seeing as I woke up at 3:00pm today, I didn't get to catch my 2:00pm bus to Maryland; so if you need help fish-jumping-proof the tank I can help ya out tmrw .

Randy... I'm also happy to swing by if you need a set of hands... let me know. Sorry about the fish, the tang looked pretty bad in the bucket yesterday, hopefully it was the transition and they're the last to go.

Thanks guys. I think 'm cool for now, just need to ride this one out. The tank looks awesome though. I'll post a few pics in a little while.

If you guys want to come by tom. to check it out that's cool too.

Randy,
It looks great! I wish I could of stuck around longer that day, but who who would want to miss out on an MRI? My fiance also had a wonderful time and was amazed. Glad to hear everything is up and running.

Nice meeting the group as well, I had a blast! -and got a few frags too:spin:!
