I can't believe it's been so long since I've updated this thread!! Well, with a big project going on, I figured now was as good a time as any, to update.
Over the past year, some really nasty, ugly and extremely toxic Palys have taken over a lot of the rockwork and about half of the bottom! Also, some mushrooms have sprouted up here and there and in some areas are really taking over. You can see what I'm talking about, in the video posted in the previous thread. Time to rid the tank of these PESTS!
Here's my plan, for the next few days.
I've moved a stock tank into the house. I also have a stock tank outside, about half full of saltwater. I also have a 75 gallon set up, outside, full of saltwater.
I will be completely emptying out the 200. Good corals and live rock will go into the inside stock tank. Rock covered with nasty Palys and/or Mushrooms will go into the stock tank outside. Fish will go into the 75, along with some good live rock for them to hide in.
Inside stock tank will be lit and a pump will be added for flow.
200 will be completely drained.
Nasty Palys will be scraped from the bottom glass.
Tank will be reaquascaped with pest free rocks as well as some dry rock that I have.
Good corals will then be placed into the tank, along with all fish!
I have the ability to light the inside stock tank so I can take as much time as needed, to do this right!
Once done, I will be posting before and after photos
WISH ME LUCK!!
