Ready for my rock!

Well everything's ready for rock tomorrow. Tank's done, salinity's set (for now - we'll see if it shifts overnight), skimmer's running the best it can with no bioload (that Xtreme is a beast dry - can't wait to see what it pulls out), aragonite is washed and in the tank (that alone almost made me wish I'd stuck with my plan of a discus tank). Temp is sold at 79, pH is hanging at 8 and ORP is steadily climbing. (started at 105)

I've got a bunch of empty buckets and a Brute full of saltwater heated and mixing in the garage for the ole' dip-and-rinse. I'll just have to remember to switch on the heater in the garage so it'll be nice and toasty. Oh - and I suppose I should have camera charged too.

By my math, the rock should already be in Oshkosh righ tnow - it'll be waiting for me at the UPS office tomorrow morning, so I'll be waiting there when they open at 8:30. If anyone wants to join me for all the McGriddles you can eat and some aquascaping, lemme know.

Sometime tomorrow my tanks for QT and ATO come in. QT is a 29 (already have a stand) and ATO is a 10hex (that's all that'll fit in the stand).

I feel like I should go watch Jaws or Finding Nemo now. LOL!

I'm jealous wish I could the take the day off and help you out. I'm at the point of doing the aquascaping in my 125. I will be watching for pics on how your aquascaping turns out. Where did you get your rock from?

Sleeping wasn't a problem - I was dead tired when I went to bed.

The problem is that UPS's site is showing that my rock is still in transit.

I'm thinking of driving down there anyways - something tells me that if it left Oak Creek, WI last night at 7:30, it's PROBABLY in Oshkosh. IME UPS's site isn't exactly real-time....
