Hey all, I got my transfer from my 55 done this week-end. After about a couple days of clearing up >>> Here's how she turned out.
Fixed a couple of mistakes from the last tank. First and foremost ... I added a GFCI!!!! No more electrocution. Unfortunately, I discovered that my Euroreef Sedra pump must have a fault in it somewhere. That sucker throws it everytime. An $80 expense for a new one that I wasn't expecting, but it was kind of shaky anyways.
Only other hangup I ran into was the sh!tty design by Perfecto on their return pipe. The put the siphon break hole in the frickin' return elbow. Well, I missed that design mess up until I had the dumb thing glued into place. Used some aquamend to fill it and then I drilled a new hole below the waterline. Not sure what they were thinking when they drilled that hole.
I lost (literally lost) my Green slimer frag (sorry Eric). Kind of irritating. It appears everything else survived the transfer. I moved my anemone from the rock it was attached, and it wouldn't attach where I wanted. It moved into a cave, and the clowns are all confused. They keep checking on their buddy.
First the old reliable starter tank (last real glory shot) >>>
Now the new hotness
Right side:
Left side:
I need another 15-20 lbs of rock to build up behind the left side. I have some real estate there, and I want to make it 2 tier to soften the overflow. Probably need to rebuild that side when I get some more rock. Looks pretty sterile without the coralline.
