Neonfish's 210g

[NeonFish]

Tank is up and running. Finally connected sump to tank. Moved most fish into the tank and 90% LR and Sand has been moved. Most inverts have not been moved (urchin, serpent stars and pistol shrimps), as I need to aquascape the tank first. I'll post pics when finished with that activity.

Use to have external sump in garage, but I'm not sure I'll do that again. Was surprised how much power I was using due to pumping the water. Although in this house, everything is level and no longer have to pump water 25' up. So I may reconsider.

Right on, post some pics when you have a chance. Hows the new place going?

 

[NeonFish]

All fish except the 3 stripe a damsel and royal grama (which jump into the overflow) are in the tank. Just moved the halloween urchin in. just 3 pistol shrimps and 2 serpent stars left. A little more still remains, everything gets so cloudy when I move the sand. Basically, I siphon it into a bucket, long and tedious process. Plan on acquascaping next, so that the other fish have their territories defined before I put the bully in.
New house is good, still unpacking boxes..... Had to shut off irrigation as most of it leaks. Good thing it is raining. I'll defer fixing the irrigation to the spring. Kids keeping us busy on weekends. Middle of the gymnastic season for my daughter.

It's kinda funny. One day when I dropped my daughter off, I decided to find JoFish, but I didn't know the address. I knew one end of payran was a dead end, so I went the other way. couldn't find it after driving all the way up and all the way back. So I gave up, then as I parked my car I looked around and there it was!!!!!! :headwallblue:

Lol, the first time I did the same thing thinking it was on the other side of town. Too funny.

Congrats, Nice to see it up and running. What are you planning to stock it with? Mixed reef, lps or sps?

 

[NeonFish]

mixed reef. some that were not pictured yet acropora valida, galaxy, lime green brain, dragon eye zoos, watermelon and red mushrooms

 

[Grant W]

Sounds good. Let me know if I can add some acros to the list.

 

[NeonFish]

thanks. I want to get the tank stablized first. For example, PH is 7.8, have not determined the root cause yet.

 

[Grant W]

Hows your reactors ph?

 

[NeonFish]

don't have a reactor. One of those todo's. manually up'd BRS akalinity which boosted PH.
