Well its time to start this thread. As some of you may remember I used to have that hair algae infested, unhealthy,overcrouded tank which had a trainwreck of a thread in the nano reef forum.
Well it has officialy been upgraded
.
This all started back in June when there was a pre-drilled (reef ready) tank in the calssifids in the paper. It was pre-owned but was never set up so the tank was brand new and came with bulkheads,standpipes, a light, and galss covers for the front. All that was only $120!!!! And then he sold the stand sepearetly for $175 which was a good deal I could not pass up so we got that too.
pics right after we got it:
We got rid of my desk in my room and cut away the carpet to make room for this beautiful tank. We placed it on the stand and it looked so nice I wish i could set it up right away. But only a few day after we set it on the stand we went on a trip to Norway for 3 weeks until the 17th of July.
On the 18th of july me and my dad took the tank off of the stand because it wasnt totaly flat and we worked for several hours on leveling it out.
After we finished that we put the tank on the stand, centrerd it and started filling with RO/DI water.
Pics of when I started filling:
In the meantime we placed an order with Doctor foster and smith for all the dry goods, my order included:
Phosphate test kit

The sand came a few days before anything else and the tank was only about 3/4 the way full when it came but i put it in anyway and it looked like this:
