What did you do to your tank today

Hal and I finished sucking the rest of the cyano out of our neglected tank at work with another 20g water change. He plumbed the large fuge to it awhile ago so we are looking foward to the lights coming in to finish that job. Need to find some matrix to add to the sump though. My plan tomorrow

Cleaned the glass & treated for flatworms again. Hope to be rid of these things soon.
I removed everything from the base cabinet, leveled the plywood out so it was completely smooth (the previous owner had several spills which left it warped - I didn't help matters when I did it a month ago). I built a true "shower pan" in the bottom of it using shower pan sheet PVC (40mil). http://www.atlantareefclub.org/forums/showthread.php?t=30410&page=6">I installed the new sump, new skimmer, and completely re-plumbed the return/skimmer/chiller system.</a>
and I guess I kinda did a water change also...

I'm moving stuff around in the basement to get ready to move the stand for my sump in there tomorrow... it was the former stand for the 180g display, which I'm not going to use. The area under the stand will house my chiller on one side, and shelves for chemicals etc on the other. Now I just have to go pick up the good Doc and bribe him into helping me move it out of my trailer and into the basement.
It will hopefully work out to hold the 140g sump along with the external skimmer on top of it. Another multi-level stand will hold a 29g QT, and a 22g refugium and its twin, a 22g RDSB. If the 55g sump doesn't sell, I may make that my refugium and keep the 22g as a frag tank, which is what it is doing now.
I picked up 5 bulkheads and a Gen-X pump today. Scary how fast this system is coming together... I literally just need a few bags of sand and some PVC (along with some labor) before I can get this thing cycling! Well, that's not entirely true... I need somebody to buy Rob's 240g so I can get the stand that it is sitting on (or at least get it moved onto the stand that it is going to be sold with).

Brought the CL pump on the frag system back on, put a lid on the refugium side of the 135g sump (thanks Dave).
Rigged the CR4 reactor on the 90gal tank (out of CO2, d'oh), sealed the basement door so it stays cooler down there.
Eventually hooking up the vent system for the external fan tonight...
Quite some stuff you do just to kill time...
