Transfer Complete!!

Well, after five hours of working on the 29g tank...all of my acros are in the top 40g breeder along with one Derasa clam. The Crocea is bored into the liverock that went into the bottom 40g breeder.

The corals were all attached to ceramic plugs from The Filter Guys. A couple of the acros were kept on the rock they were on already because they were encrusted so well.

The bottom tank now has about 30-35lbs of LR, my Damsel, Clownfish, Pepps, Emeralds and assorted snails, hermies. I put my skimmer on the acro tank for now and will be getting a Remora skimmer this weekend from Gabe.

I have an Emperor 400 on both tanks without bio-wheels and without filters....just for flow and running carbon. Those filters are rather noisy without the bio-wheels though

I have a Seio 1500 in the acro tank and two MJ 1200s. I have two MJ 1200s in the bottom tank along with some soft corals that I will let survive under NO lighting. Now, I just need to find a 3ft light fixture that has two NO bulbs for over that bottom tank.

The bottom tank will be my fish QT tank and I will keep fish in there until I am sure they are healthy, then into the main tank. I am looking for a fish idea to keep the 40g acro tank clean...the tank has eggcrate on it and about 1.5" of space under the eggcrate.

And a picture would have saved you soooo much typing

Dave, any estimate on when the main system may be up? Be happy to lend a hand if needed.

The main show is still dependent on my finishing the equipment room. Greg and I need to hang some heavy metal for the canopies and then put the blueboard ceiling up. After that, we have to rebuild most of the cabinets dt cheap Chinese plywood that warped really bad.

Once those projects are completed, then I can start plumbing the tubsink and tanks. It will go pretty quick after the construction stuff is all done. It has been a matter of limited finances to get things purchased, then getting help getting the work done because I have NO skills whatsoever with carpentry, architecture, conceptualizing, etc

Thanks a lot for the offer to help, but I think the couple projects I have left are going to be with Capo's help as he is the one who master-minded them.

You know why I had someone professionally finish around my tank? Because if I did it, everyone who came down would say "looks like you finished it yourself" My skills suck also.

If you do need anything though just ask, I know how much I appreciated the clubs help when I needed it.

I have a cheapo 3' Odyssea T5 that you are welcome to...it will do fine for softies.

 

[Nanook]

Cool...you want to sell it, Jack? Trade?

That sounds like it would work!

 

[sirreal63]

Think frags and it is yours. I'll be occupied until Sunday or early next week.

I got excited and thought you were maybe filling the big boys up with water and not telling anyone.

But congrats on moving up 11 gallons closer. :thumbsup:

 

[sirreal63]

This is such a rough group!!!

 

[Nanook]

Dual 40's...80-29=51g gain

It will happen this year on the big boys.

Nook are you trying to say that the old one's mind still thinks it can think?? :eek2:

 

[dphins]

Where's the pics??? I heard you got a frag off one of my stags at fade's house.

 

[Nanook]

Yes!! I don't remember which one though...it is in my frag tank being treated for redbugs along with the rest of the motley coral crew! Thanks, Mike!!

 

[dphins]

Are you saying John has red bugs?

 

[DrBDC]

They have shampoo's for that.

Dave has crabs too. He needs alot of shampoo and a good doctor.
