PM'D.

your tank is awesome man well done

just wanted to ask are u still dosing manually a few teespoons every morning as your 1st page states?

Thanks alot, it doesnt look like that now, :lol:, i am going to post some pics here shortly.

dosing is done every night and morning by hand. I test the water then dose as need.

Tank is looking spectacular my friend... Why have I not seen this one on the zeo site? J, you have dialed in to a very balanced and healthy reef, hats off to you Keep up the great work, those sticks are looking very vibrant!

YUP its there, lobsterboy's from the scratch, the name was thought up by Alexander Girz.

I hope i can balance the new system quickly.

well here is the move, a few shots of coral out of water, i thought the colors were looking good and a few size shots.

this was probably the biggest i took out, 16x16 :twised:

hitting low tide, as water was coming out

Lobsterboy's formosa bucket. I dont think Leo would approve.

LOL, I told my buddy just a few colonies. LOL

thanks, i got some new goodies this past week, and the new tank should be here by weeks end. :lol2:

I have the BK, sitting in a 22gal now to get the break in time to reduce and yes the skimmer will be part of the new set up.

Its really weird not having a tank now, its super quite and no maintance.

strange. . ... .

so not much of an update, I picked up a few things for the new setup, and finally after a week of sitting in a box I fired up the new fixture, its pretty sweet.

[wycombes]

Wow, your color is incredible.

 

[ziyaadb]

[johnteatro]

Wow, your color is incredible.

Thanks, i know a few pieces that I saved have browned out in some holding tanks, but its ok. The main thing is just to keep them alive during this phase of the move.

love the light fixture man

yeah, i cant wait to get the new stand and have that baby hanging., hopefully today the stand arrives.

The new tank is suppose to be ready on thursday or friday this week, but I will not be able to pick it up until tuesday. :sad1:

Thanks reefers.

ok, so here are the pics, the tank is tottaly JEDI PIMP. The tank has blown my mind countless times already. even though there is nothing in it, i just keep staring at it.

72x24x20 all starphire glass, except the over flow which is black acrylic.

I will post more pics, as they upload and i still have to vaccum to clean up the cuttings from the plumbing.

Big thanks to Seamazter (Garry) for helping out with the plumbing) awesome.

So there is very few things to do before getting water into this bad boy:

hook up return pump.
wipe out tank.

So by saturday it should see water.

polished edges.

Drilled false wall for Vortechs

over flow

sump

I was worried that the skimmer wouldnt fit, but we got it in.

starting to look like a tank.
