One step forward and two back ...

OK OK so maybe I haven't learned patience quite so well.

After doing the preliminary work last night I found a card that had been included in the sand box (hehehe now that's funny). And of course it said (in part) "rinse the sand." Wonderful. OK well then I found a second post that talks about the support under teh rocks. I had read somewhere to put PVC there so I cut up some PVC pipe to make "rings." Well that wasn't what they meant. I re-read the post they talked about building a "table" under the rock using PVC "pieces." The post had some responses and the end result is that the plastic egg crate works just as well.

So tomorrow or Sunday I will re-attack the problem and get the sand rinsed (maybe) and the egg create in place and get the rock back in. Then its off to DC for another week of enforced waiting pattern.

In the meantime I purchased a Koralia 2 power head for the reef flow and have it tucked into the corner where it will probably sit. Not pictures but some tomorrow perhaps.
