Tank - Full Summary

Basic full overview of the system

  1. May 1st - Full Tank Shots. My Tank is 90 days old - Whoo Hoo!

    Only 90 Days old and I've had a 29 gallon sump crack/leak, replaced that with a 40 gallon Breeder for a sump, Built a new Stand and Swapped the old stand out with the new stand. So far, it appears that I only lost 1 Turbo Snail. ( He stunk when I pulled him out of the QT tank, so, maybe it was his time.) Otherwise, All my fins and corals appear to have made it through the ordeal of the past 2 weeks.

    Here they are. The cleanup crew I added several weeks ago is making good work of keeping the film algae down and I added several snails to the fuge and the glass walls are now viewable (mostly) and the pod population there is intact.

  3. Water, Rocks and cycling a tank. 120 tank Build

    Hello All,

    Am getting 75+ lbs of marco rock tomorrow, and so, I'm really close on beginning to cycle the tank, can some one review these working steps I made and see if I've covered my bases correctly or perhaps could change the order, if something is not right.
