thinking on moving skimmer to other side of water tanks knida tight

solar tube and ductless heat/ac

Plumbing mess tempory sump under tank with blowhole feeding 2 frag tanks with corals from old system

attatched 2 105 gallon water tanks to system for easy water changes
plumbed directly to the drain

put new gate valve to adjust flow

Any imput on placement of stuff would be appreciated tommorow I might cut out the skimmer and going to reroute plumbing to fuge by the window

I am a firm beliver of excessive Quarantining and inspecting all corals that go in my tank

Great video and beautiful tank. I like the frag dancing around the :15 second mark on the middle island.

lol the dancing frag did put a litle epoxy down. Havent figured out placement on the corals as of yet tried to copy Reefbum on the space behind the rock but seem like im losing space to place more corals

Looks great. It looked like you had some larger colonies in the previous setup. Did you lose them or are they still in quarantine?

 

[NVfishman]

I had alot of corals in the last setup but moved and lost 99% of my acros while waiting to cut out the overflows and get the fishroom built out alot of the named stuff I got at the shows in CA.

Biggest problem was maintaining water quality in the 3 tanks I had my corals in
salinity spiked, alk dropped, Ca dropped I started getting alittle lazy checking stuff every other day after a few months

One good thing lost all my acros and got rid of Acro eatting flatworms

Lol, I had to laugh at the last sentence... Gotta look at the bright side of things.
