haha killing me about the fish. Our older husky will go up and watch the clowns, i think they watch her to because when she comes up to the tank they will swim down low to the bottom.
I have large shoes to fill sense this tank use to belong to ellen and her sick reef skills. We’ll see what i can pull off.
Na, my tank is okay, but there are lots better even in this club. Rotsi has a super awesome tank.
I can’t wait to see what you do with this tank Casey.[/quote]
Looking great Casey. I hate plumbing, but it looks like you did a good job with it.
I knew you would love Dr. Macs. Nice frags you picked up.
Thanks Ellen, I tried some diff things on this plumbing. I plumbed in 2extra ball valves in the return to run any reactors, acclimate stuff, anything u can thing of. One of them has the hose fittings like to units so u can use small tubing. Also plumbed in 1 ball valve in drain incase I need to run te drain anywhere else.
Thanks on the corals we love them. And yes his place was awesome def goin back when the Aussie shipment comes in. Our crocea is awesome it’s got some orange in the middle with blue as u can see.
Update on tank: everything is moved in the house, plumbed and has sand. Now ready for eater. I’ll have pics pics up tonight.
As promised, there will be lots of pictures some may look like their isnt much diffenrence but their is, from the pedistle to the door to the sand in the tank.lol.
Moved the tank inside and put everything together and its ready to role.
Thought i had enough water mixed but didnt so when i started making more ro water the pup knocked the ro unit off the shelf and broke fittings so had to go get some to repair it today.
Heres a pic with the sand-
heres how much the stand was off when i set it up in the house-
according to iphone.
Enjoy guys any questions concerns or comments are welcome.loll
Looks great Casey! Yep that stand is level. ;D
Thanks Ellen I wasn’t worried bout what u built I was skidish bout the pedistle I built lol.
Looks great man, nice job! :
: Nice skimmer, it’s going to be the hart of your filtration.
Thanks man. Yea that thing is rated for 300gl and is over kill but better more than not enough. Back at ya ur tank is awesome.
Alright everyone finally got water and rocks and aquascaped and running smoothly as of 3am.lol. LMK what you all think.
Last night after 10 mins of running.
This morning after water cleared a little.
Last night once i got everything finished i notice a baby strombella nail? About 4 months ago i seen a larger one in my 30 and it done some crazy dance where if stretched off the rock and was blowing bubbles into the system. I researched that and turns out they are releasing babys. So im guessing that the baby i seen in the new system came from the mother in the 30. From what i understand they are good for your system, idk, i havent seen anything negative come from having them.
Enjoy you guys and LMK how ive done so far. Will be hanging the lights and moving fish/corals over by friday once i make sure water is good.
Thanks for following my thread.
Strombella nails are very good, if you don’t see any more babies you can get them at inlandaquatics.com, I just got restocking set few weeks ago. I would also get BRS single reactor for rox8 carbon and GFO. Otherwise it looks all good. ::
I think the tank looks great. I like your design so far. You sure can tell that is starfire glass. ;D
Are those rocks on the glass magnets?
Rosti- thanks, I will be getting some reactors soon.
Ellen- thanks so far I like the rock work. I was shooting for a valley for the fish and with the rocks on the left it leaves lots of room for frags and other corals. Yes u can that glass is super clear. And yep there are 2 of the aqua mag rocks they are kids neat. Lil different.
It’s really looking good :BEER
Thanks man. Ive put alot of thought and time into this.
Now I gotta work on moving everyone over. It’s eating me alive not having anything in it yet. Lol
That waiting part is pure torture for sure verdict_in
Sure is. Added some Bio-Spira last night but didnt have enough, going to get another bottle today and will probably move light and all livestock tomorrow.
More pics to come PBJ!
WOOOOHOOOO Finally moved everything/everyone over today. Took roughly 3 hours to get everyone acclimated and all corals where i want them.
LMK how i did and what you guys think.
ENJOY ;D
This is going to be my ZOA only rock. It stand alone in the from right of the tank.
Looks great Casey! Look like still lot of room for more corals. Now watch it grow!
