Nice tank...

 

[badewilly]

I think it looks great. What type of coral are you planning on keeping?

 

[mike126]

So did you just mix up the extra 100 or so gallons of water or did you collect it from your old tank? Just wondering because i was planning on up grading and was not to sure on how to go about it. Looks great by the way!

 

[reefkeeper135]

Thanks Zplay

badewilly: I really like softies so the tank will focus more on them although I wouldn't mind a few hardy sps as well. With the bigger tank room isnt as much an issue

mike126: I used every drop of water I could salvage from my 135, along with all the live rock, plus more that I picked from a local reefer tearing down his tank to move. I used all new sand and mixed in 2 cups of my old sand to "seed" it. I had 4 of the "Brute" trash cans mixing in the garage to complete the fill.

ok, so I finally got a new pump for the skimmer and got it going, so what do you think of the output? I got it started friday night and these were taken sunday morning too wet? too dry? or?...

 

[mike126]

Oh ok, see i thought that i could do something like that but im too scared to kill all my livestock...did you notice any affects from the move on your fish or corals?

 

[reefkeeper135]

YES, they are much happier :lol: :rollface: :lol:

OK got the new tank in place and found a litle mermaid

sorry couldn't resist.....

Too cute.

Nice tank and upgrade! Now that you updated your current tank description, you gotta change your name to reefkeeper240! Either way, good screen name.
