The 54 Gal. corner tank has been moved and water is back in the tank. I have made a couple of additions to the tank. I have upgrade my RIO 3100 to a MAG 12 which is plumbed into an OM Squirt. Lighting has change from a single 20K XM bulb to a 10 K XM bulb with 130 watts of actinic Power compacts. Purchased a TLF Phosban Reactor with Phosban Media, that is being run by a mag 1. I swapped out the old Pro 75 wet/dry sump for a 20 Long tank with out baffles. The ASM Mini has carried over to the new setup. I will be adding a new calcium reactor as soon as I get the tank stable. I have also been cooking my live rock since I took the old tank down, that will be added to the tank this week. I have switched substrates also, I changed from a crushed aragonite to the Meridian oolitic made by Seachem, which is alot finer than what I am used to. Salt has also been changed from Oceanic to the Seachem Reef salt.
I will post pictures by the end of the week of the new setup. Currently everything is working both bulkheads were leaking, I have fixed the drain. I still have to fix the return bulkhead. I am also seeing alot of Microbubbles, but I will give them time. Since I have no baffles in the sump, I am thinking about putting a 100 micron filter sock on the exit of the skimmer and the main tank drain pipe.
Things I want to accomplish by the weekend is substrate and live rock put in and be ready to put some fish in to start cycling the tank.
