SO just to keep myself motivated, Tank is clean and after I took a look at my rock, I decided to cure it out a bit before throwing it into a new setup. So the tank is still empty, but clean! Rock has been curing for 4 days and glad I decided the old tried and true methods...ammonia is way off the hook, as I would expect with rock allowed to just dry....let it feed and burn!!
In the meantime I have a JBJ 28 Nano that I cleaned out. It is finishing it's vinegar soak..had to get a brand new pump for it but that ok. I am going to sell this one I think. 28 JBJ nano, pump, Stand, and optional JBJ Led light..the JBJ Unibody.
Lastly as an Ex Digital Aquatics insider, I have several full and large controller set ups that work just fine and I will sue one to start the Nano Rimless..nothing wrong with it and I have brand new temp probes for it so use what I have before replacing..then I guess they become fancy Christmas light controllers LOL.
