Tank Upgrade Complete

[windyridge]

Wanted to post the last pic for awhile. My upgrade is complete except for the odd tinkering and the next swap! Thanks to the Pirc and Adam and Abc Reefs for helping me acquire new corals and fish. My Tomini tank is in quarantine and will be added when that is finished.

its looking good, love the AI's, I run them myself. Do you run an aquarium controller? I cant tell ya how many times mine saved me. and keeps my tanks params steady and makes Ph reading easy. How long has it been up and running?

Thanks. I plan on purchasing a Neptune Apex Jr shortly. This tank has been up an running with corals and fish since December 22nd 2011. Of course I changed some of the rock work again because as much as I like the landscape, there wasn't enough flattish surface to place corals. Now I have room for many more corals!!! But I will control myself for a few months and let what I have grow up.

Id be careful going so fast unless the sand was live and the rock was cured and from an established system. sometimes there isnt enough bacteria to handle the bioload propperly and you can have a crash, or even ammonia build up from the lask of letting it cycle, which is lethal to fish. It looks great, but go sloww!! 10 days for fish and corals is a bit pushing it.

Sand was live, 40 pounds of live rock from established system are in there. Entire build thread is here:

I did take ammonia readings just in case. The dry rock I added was seeded and left for awhile too, so I wouldn't be surprised if it had a bacteria population as well.
