Haters... hahaha.

I did get a little more done today. When I woke up, I checked the internet to see where my shipments were. The large (160lb) shipment was supposed to be here tomorrow but it said it was delivered already??? So I opened the door and there was nothing in my entry... Crap, maybe he dropped it off with one of my neighbors that hates me lol. so I walk out side and there were 3 boxes next to the door. I guess my dog scared him lmao. The 60lb box was my salt, and there were two 40lb boxes with live sand.
I brought them inside, bad back and all, and started opening boxes to check on them. The salt was fine, the first sand bag was fine, but the second bag was busted open. I made one call and there is yet another 40lb bag of sand on it's way. So I will have 120lb's of sand in this 110g tank.
the funny thing about this is I have another box still on it's way. It has my two Hydor power heads in it, new pads for my mag floats and a test kit so I can keep an eye on the levels in the tank. It came from WI straight to Dallas. They went too far lmao. That is where it sits now. I will either get it tomorrow or Saturday. Once I get that, I can put the salt in the tank and fill it up with some water. Once the salt is dissolved I can put the sand in there and get my rocks in there for the tank to cycle.
It's coming along though. I did clean up some of the salt from under the aquarium today. But my back is just killing me from all of this moving. so I had to give up until later. I figure I will kill my back tomorrow and have a couple days to recover on my days off. I was going to get some pics of the tank, but it was dark and I ran out of time before I could get one before I had to run to work.
I do have to run up to Moore and pick up a new sump when I get off work in the morning. It's 6" longer and we are going to put in a baffle so I can run a refugium in the sump. This will help out teh tank a lot. Once I get that, then all I need is a skimmer and my LED lights. That is only about $1200 worth of stuff lmao.
