Sandy took everything out...rebuilding with a SPS dominate tank.

[4ddiction]

Hey guys, decided to start a thread that followed my rebuild process. Hurricane sandy knocked out the power for 9 days, so i lost everything except one blue chromis, my black clown fish, conch snail, and one emerald crab. (were transported to my aunts house and now are in a temporary plastic bin as a tank).

I always loved SPS so i figured why not make this an SPS dominate tank! Here is the run down

Tank: 40g glass
Sump: 10g glass
Filtration: SWC 160 cone skimmer, BRS bio-pellets in reef octopus reactor
Carbon in TLF reactor, and GFO in BRS reactor.
Pumps: Mag 5 for return and manifold, 2 maxijet900s
Flow: 2 MP10s
Lights: Aquaticlife T5 blue+x2, KZ fuji purple and New Generation (upgrading to two radeons once i finish saving up for them)
Dosing: BRS 2 part + BRS doser pumps

Some pics of my tank prior to the wreck.

The rebuild begins.

Strange? Reefcentral doesnt allow you to edit your posts?

You can only edit for an hour after you post. Good luck with the rebuild.

If there is any metal in those valves I would highly recommend no using them.
