What I've been doing... lately. Da Animal 180 Build!!

OPG, do you need help with your build? I can help if it doesn't involve heavy lifting.;) Let's get you set up already.:)
 
Hey Awi... I'm good for now my love, Thank You for asking!! :love2:

Picked up a few items today and I will TRY and get this puppy in place and start filling her up. I need to also move the 60G frag system over and on it's own sump.:dance:

Thursday I checked on the LR that's been brewing since forever.. and Phosphate levels were high... 0.56. so I did a w/c and today (Sat) retested and it was 0.12 via the Hanna. So I'll be doing another w/c tonight and retesting again. I actually neglected doing w/c's on it for a while so I can see why it was high.. I'm sure it all leached out of the rock and it's just the water... I hope :sad2: LOL
 
It's getting there bro... lol!!

Drained the Frag tank half way and started moving it.. step by step.

So today I worked on all the LED's fixtures and hanging them up. Next will be to plumb DA ANIMAL to the sump, add sand and then the aquascaping. Water is already being made. Yeah I know, I was going to go BB but I want some wrasse's in this tank!! :dance:

Looking good buddy.I can't wait to see the turn out on the 180. I'm looking forward to seeing it aquascaped and filled with sand and water. Good luck. Hope your doing ok.
 
@AriMiko.. I'm hanging in there bro. I took a few days off to observe his passing and while doing so, it gave me a chance to jump on the tank. Sometimes the best & creative time is being by yourself. Thank You for asking bro.

@Awibrandy.. actually I have something in mind that I seen on Rkragozler's tank. Just have to find out where to get it. So HD will be my next stop today to inquire. Besides, I need to get a few things from them to finish the build.

So today I retested the Pukani Rock and I can't seem to get the P04 down past 0.12 after doing another w/c on it this weekend. What I'm thinking is happening is because since there is no skimmer or phosphate control media its just lingering. I think it will be fine once inside the tank because of the sheer water volume and once a skimmer and P04media is added. We'll see.
 
Looks really great...I know that you are excited...been a long time coming. Now take that Marineland sticker off...it's driving me nuts. lol Or is it the new in thing in reefing? All the best of luck with it...can't wait to see it a year from now...
