Haven’t got much done lately, I did manage to finally hook everything up. It still looks like a mess down there but it’s an organized mess 🤣. Also upgraded my return line with 2 random flow generators to be able to control it a little more. To bad I have another 8 weeks before I can add any livestock [emoji24]. Now all that’s left is programming the light, it’s already giving me anxiety and a headache..... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yea when I had my 240 it was super unorganized and would cause anybody anxiety so I took the time and did it right this go around 😄

I ended up going with the Giesemann because it was the only hybrid that allowed you to mount it on the tank instead of hanging it from the ceiling. I figure it’s still a t-5/ led combo so you can’t really go wrong with it. I haven’t actually fired it up yet but probably will by the end of this week. As far as dosing, I’ll cross that bridge when it comes 😊 that’s why I’m trying to leave as much space under the stand as possible for future equipment!

I used dry rock and dry sand and going to cycle the old fashion way 😉

Finally filling it up, lady’s and gentlemen we have water! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

No, they want it destroyed. They also voided the warranty

Not really, I just moved the rock and sand from the chipped tank to the new tank. I’m hoping to have all the equipment hooked up by the end of this week. Then I’ll probably start making water this weekend to start filling it up. This ones going to be an extremely slow build lol! Pics to come if tap talk starts working right again....

I feel better hearing that, I was 2nd guessing myself on the light decision 😊

I didn’t even realize I forgot to post my equipment, whoops..... Tank- Red Sea reefer 350 Sump- using orininal sump it came with lights- aurora 48” t-5 led hybrid Giesemann (ordered 2 ati blue’s , 1 ati coral plus, and 1 super actinic Giesemann) Going to role with this color combo and see how I like it. powerheads- 2 vortech mp-40s skimmer- regal 200int reef octopus pump- reef octopus dc pump controller- new apex ato- tunze 3155 (I don’t want to use the ato it came with) I think that’s it for now.

Well tank setup has come to a stop. When I was aquascaping I noticed a small chip on the outer corner of the tank. I thought well it looks cosmetic so I’m just going to continue doing what I’m doing and not worry about it. I mentioned it to Jake and he contacted Red Sea about it. They are willing to send me a brand new tank. I didn’t really want to go that route because of the work I’ve done but the chip voids the warranty so I really don’t have a choice. Here’s to aquascaping a 3rd time yay!!! Oh and my bird like to use it as her perch now [emoji19] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks appreciate it!

Thanks! It’s the Caribsea liferock/dry

Just stacked it and made sure the rock clicked in and twisted it to make sure it was secure if that makes sense. I’ll go back in and put some epoxy all around the edges just for reassurance. I usually violently shake it to make sure it doesn’t move 🤣

Thanks Ty 😊

Thank you!

Made a little more progress with the tank today. Still have a few more small pieces of rock to add but it’s pretty much done. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I want to be like you one day when I grow up, not your height just your reefing abilities 🤣 -
How dare you use my sump in such a hideous way....you have him standing on his head holding your towels. Is it because he’s taller then you? 😜
