Tank cleaned

This morning I started out by taking some of the old equipment offline and got caught up in the moment and cleaned the whole tank. It was pretty nasty at some points, but a lot of that nastiness is now out in the back yard as lawn fertilizer :)

There's still some of the nasty hair algae stuck on the overflows, but I'm sure the exposure to the air will kill it. And if that doesn't, its in for a rough ride when I add saltwater and start curing the live rock.

After everything was cleaned I removed the old bulkheads in the overflows and found out the replacement ones I bought are too big for the holes. The current holes wont accept heavy duty bulkheads. Time to look for some standard bulkheads.

There was more work I could have done but I had to shower and get to the reef club meeting. I won a plating Montipora which is ironic because I was thinking about buying one anyway. It's only a frag, and not a great one at that, so we'll have to wait and see how it does.
