He's a neat fish. The markings on the Kole are very interesting, I thought for the longest time that they were a drab fish with yellow "eyeliner," but now I know better! I hope everything works out with him.

Canopy removed, most of the water removed, half of the sand removed and pushed to the right side: AKA Disgusting, back-breaking work
Rinsing 200lbs of sand... one bucket at a time... :mad2:
Half of the sand done...
All 200lbs of the sand rinsed and ready to go!
Scrubbed, scraped, squeegeed... *faints*
I needed an extra dose of pain meds for my back after all of this!

Haha! Thanks everyone. Pete got in on the action and helped me put the sand back IN today. I also picked up some eggcrate to put on the bottom of the tank in case of sand-sifter catastrophes. I've had enough trajedy for the year, I don't want a broken tank next!

I believe Acrylic is supposed to have better clarity than glass... but I get what you're saying Rae.
Schwe... Great work! That Kole Tang sure looks nice too.
When acrylic has as many scratches as mine.........

Nor any references to the fact that Instant Ocean might be in the appropriate place for it:lol:

I was looking at the QT with the LR I got from a reefer and noticed this alien creature...
After the flash went off, it jumped back in its hole. It's like some kind of thick-skinned worm that inverts itself and spits its body out as it stretches, and at the very longest a set of gills like a feather duster comes out, and then it sucks it back in... Creepy...
HUGE Stomatella
LR waiting to back in the tank

Egg Crate
200lbs of sand
Adding water over a garbage bag has proven to be the best method for reducing cloudiness.
This is what 20 gallons of water looks like in a 90 gallon tank... *cries*
You are doing great--but at this point I would put a piece of board or dinner plate on top of the plastic and poor the water onto it.

Nothing creepy about it. It's a good guy.
