    Tank 2 is a 40B w/ a 20 long sump holding maybe another 10gals. It has a 4 bulb T-5, bulbs under six months, plus a 250watt halide.10 hrs on the T-5s and 8 on the halide. Halide needs replacing, but this tank is in the best condition out of the three. It has 40lbs LS and 40 LR. All tanks are running skimmer, although I can't remember the model, I do know it is rated for 150, and is only being run on a 50gal system. It does produce great foam.

    This system is also running GFO.

    It's livestock includes 2 clown a damsel and a yellow wrasse plus 4 BTA's.

    Tank is over 2 years old.

    Tank 3 is mine and all mine as far as I set up I plumbed it (which scares me most), and baby it like one of my kids. It also was the most stable system out of the 3 and is the most stocked.

    It is a 40B w/ 29sump, which holds 15gals.

    250watt halide 9 month old bulb and 10hr light cycle

    35lbs LS and 50-55lbs LR, same skimmer the other 40B has

    total water flow for this system is 75x water volume.

    So I have started w/ tank 2, as it has the least amount of problem algae, and less livestock to worry about. Decided to scrub down the sump and remove the water from there which is usually done from the display on this tank. Cut cardboard to fit and wrapped w/ a black sheet. Today is the first day, and I have 15gal on hand for the WC in a few days.

    Tank 2 is now on day 2 now, and I have decided that the sand beds in all three tanks is not deep enough, and am adding enough sand to give me 4" in every tank.

    Tank 2 and 3 have completed their black outs, and are being treated w/ the peroxided. I am using a 100 cc needle to inject the patches up to 10ml per session at 2 sessions a day. All live stock appears to be un effected. I'll post pics some time latter today, but I cracked the LCD screen on my camera so taking pics is a *****&% right now, but need for this thread.

    Oh I have also changed out both MH bulbs in these systems.
