Oy Vay, I'm sorry I did not preface this as a Hardware Checklist.

You're going to go through a LOT of
Flourish & Flourish Trace.

[gnatster]

I kKinda figured I would use a lot of Flourish and FL Trace. This is just to get started. I want to use the dry powders and dosing pumps. I haven't figured out how yet. I was gonna bug ya'll on that soon.

Water changing gear? Maybe a pump/overflow setup
to move water from the holding tank to the sump
and from there to the drain? Buckets may be back
breaking in the long run.

Filter stuff? I mean, something to put in the
sump in the guise of filter media. Depending
on what media you use, some kind of holding
structure would be required perhaps.

Hi Ivo

I was wondering when you were going to start talking to us. <img border="0" src="smileys/smiley2.gif" border="0">

[Busko]

I've been *too* busy lately. Barely can
find time (and energy) to browse the forum.
Hope things will slow down a little for
now on <img border="0" src="smileys/smiley1.gif" border="0">

Cheers,
