I got it off Jay McBride. I wonder how many others have stockpiles.

The "fishless" cycle was completed in just under 3 weeks using Dr Tims Ammonia Chloride and Fritz 9. It could not have gone smoother. The system was cycled 100% with Natural Sea Water. Levels tested nominal for NSW. After cycling I bumped DKH and Calc using a kalkwasser drip.
In an earlier post I mentioned the sump was to be located in the basement. In fact, I decided to place the sump in an enclosed area under my 3-season porch which also houses pool pump equipment. This location provides a proper fish room. Because of the long run of pipe, both feed and drains, I purchased .5" thick heavy-duty self-sealing insulation from an HVAC supply house. Hopefully things stay toasty in the dead of winter.
The sump that is being used is a food grade container that I have had for many years. It measures approximately 4'x4'x3' and was once used by one of our members to feed a propagation table. It was cleaned up, tested and outfitted with new bulkheads.
The tank in it's current state. The majority of the rock is in the sump.
Inhabitants:
Cleaner Shrimp
Hermits / Snails
Japanese Pink Nepthea (Thx @coralfishreef )
Entacmaea quadricolor (Thx @BiGGiePauls33)
Blue Zoos (Thx @BiGGiePauls33)
Bubblegum Montipora Digitata (Thx @BiGGiePauls33)

Nice. I'm always in favor of a big sump concept. Just fill it up with liverocks and let nature do its work for you.
I spend a lot of money on heating starting about right now until April in an unheated basement sump and anemone tank.

I think you old timers should just start a tank so that more ghosts from the past would show up. 
This reminds me that my BRS join date is 05/2004 when we broke off from RC. 17.5 years and counting. Man. I’m getting old.

Good to hear from you Marvin. I still remember picking up my first MH fixture from you. It was a fine Gisemann Nova fixture.

Unfortunately, no.
