After moving Rebuild of a 92 gallon corner tank.

[jagow4]

Not sure if t his is something many people want to follow but i have recently moved and I am in the process of doing my 92 gallon aquarium once again. Prior to moving I was disgusted with a few pieces of coral that i recieved that had very small Aptasia on them that i failed to notice prior to introducing them into my tank. Guess what i ended up getting......... the worse case of aptasia outbreak known to man. so i decided to deal with it as i knew i would be tearing the tank down and starting from the ground up. so here is the thread of corner tank 2.0 as i like to refer to it.

hope you enjoy and would love to hear your suggestions as we go along



1 thing i am doing new this time is setting my liverock up on 3 inch PVC rings so that when i start the DSB then the rock will look to be on the sand bed but in actuality it will be just at the same level.

So i have some pictures that i will post the tank is full and I have replaced all 120 pound of live sand. I figured that after 9 years the other stuff was ready to say good bye. I am attaching some pictures to this now of the Aqua-scaping i have done so far, water got a little cloudy from the movement of the rock. please let me know what you think.

please give me the feedback on the set-up because that is how we all get better is through feed back

So a brief update. Nitrites were a little high saturday when i did my water change so i figured that I would wait before i start adding any other livestock. I have 3 fish and a few of the original C U C in the tank and they are all doing well no signs of harm or anything due to the spike in the nitrites. my guess is that the nitrites went a little high because I replaced the old sand bed and added new sand a few days and everything should be back at 0

Kind of in a funk I am supposed to be setting up new Lights from a new Light vendor to do some testing for them and UPS says that they were left on my front door step and when i excitedly got home there was nothing on my front door step. have contacted the Manufactures already waiting to hear from them on the next step.
