Thanks. :)

I am working on getting the fish in now. I have one heater in it to see how much it can raise the temp, then comes the fun process of moving filter media, fish, and heaters all in a short span. I need to do some water tests first though. I did use some cycled water, sand, filter media, tile, wood, etc in it already to help quickly establish BB. Along with some Colonize (Ammonia in a bottle) originally when I first filled it.

Thanks. :) Here is a quick 1 pic update. Super long night moving fish. I moved all the 200g fish to the pond and all the 100g fish to the 200g. I need to move the 100g tomorrow night to make room for another couch. Had to move heaters, pumps and such too... Some temporary rigging on the pond with the external 300w heater hooked to the Quiet One 3000 pump.
