Mike's 150g SC Aquarium Build

If you need anything im sure i have a full qt setup with hang on filter and heaters powerheads whole nine yards text me what u need
 
Wow Mike sorry to hear. For what it's worth I haven't been doing much better. I'm calling it new tank syndrome lol. Really I could throw anything in my old system and it would do well, this time not so much. I have large UV on both my QT and DT and see occasionally signs of ich and then it goes away. Haven't lost a fish to ich it since starting UV years ago so I keep the bulbs fresh. Good luck!
 
If you're still trying to figure this out, look into setting up a IPSEC VPN on your Internet router. No, its definitely not for the non-it types but it does work well.
 
Added some more rock to the tank...think it needed it.

I also moved one of the MP's on the back wall to the left panel. Trying to minimize sand blowing off front glass and get better flow in the tank.

Great stock list for an excellent start. Never bought from WWC before. Looks like some good stuff.
 
So I needed a frag rack to get my newly acquired WWC SPS packs out of the sand bed. I was tossing the idea back of forth of making your standard egg crate super glued to a mag float, but I wanted something clean and low profile. A lot of the other racks are huge and stick out into the tank too much. In addition I've read negative reviews about those companies magnets and not being able to hold up to the weight of corals.

So during my search I stumbled upon a company that had what I wanted. Frag-a-rack had all black, low profile, sufficient room and super strong magnets.

Right now I'm holding 18 SPS frags with extra room. Very happy with this frag tank.

I know frag racks are not the prettiest thing in the world, but at present time I do not have enough corals to justify a frag tank. This rack is for new corals introduced into the system to be acclimated to light and flow.
