dshel1217 Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 Pace yourself its going to be a slow build. I realized after setting up my 3rd tank is I don't like building tanks. The drilling overflows, building a sump, the plumbing( I hate plumbing) are more of a chore for me to get the good stuff. Aquascaping, corals, fish, playing with setting is the part I enjoy the most. Therefore plug and play system seems the way to go.

Popular Post dshel1217 Posted October 18, 2018 Author Popular Post Share Posted October 18, 2018 It has arrived. Everything looks to be in good shape. The packaging is impressive and my only complaint is some of the stand pieces are under the tank so getting them out from under a 300+lbs tank was fun. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dshel1217 Posted October 31, 2018 Author Share Posted October 31, 2018 Stand completed and tank on top. Still setting up some of the equipment as time allows and the stand lights are order and the tank lights. I hope to have the sand and dry rock in next week and have the last of the equipment installed 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dshel1217 Posted December 4, 2018 Author Share Posted December 4, 2018 made a lot of progress over the last month. The tank is running and been cycling since 11/10. Below is my cycling schedule sort of.... Add dr tims one and only 11/10 Turn on refugium 8hrs Algae barn clean cheato Pods and half to display half refugium Add 1 to 2 fish 11/30 Frozen fish food and auto feeder lowest setting 1 per day Leave alone for 1 month ends on 12/10 Add coralline (maybe) Leave alone 1 month Some of the issues Ive run into 1) Lost a o ring to the skimmer so it has not been running at all, hopefull get it in this week. 2) the stock return on the red sea tank sucks so I had to replace that with a loc line one 3) Still have a lot of flow adjustments to make prior to coral ready 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
