You found me! I’ll post a link in the 180 thread to this one once the 180 is shut down.

 

[MrsBugmaster]

Jet lag is kicking my butt so I’m not getting much done at this point. Guy is coming to pick up the 180 on Saturday so I really gotta get going this week!

ah I was thinking it was going to be two tanks. like that chap that has 2X 150s

this is going to be cool. you can call it the valentine tank.

 

[Stang67]

Awesome. I brought the snacks for the ride.

 

[MrsBugmaster]

Good morning. Finally getting over the jet lag a little more. Was able to stay awake until 9:30 last night, that’s better than the 7:00 pm it has been. But still didn’t sleep well. Too many things swirling around in my head. I forgot to order the apex flow sensor for the uv sterilizer and still trying to figure out how I’m going to mount the lights in the canopy.

Do you have a priorty list made ,for transfer ?

 

[MrsBugmaster]

Yeah, sort of in my head
1. Fill holding containers with 1/2 fresh sw and half tank water
2. Get power heads and heaters going
3. Transfer rock to holding containers
4. Catch fish and put in holding containers
5. Take equipment off and clean
6. Take sump out and clean.
7. Make lots fresh sw to do water changes in containers as needed.

 

[fishguy242]

Careful ,watch ph closely before moving fish, may want an airstone at the ready ,just in case of time fish will be longer than expected in half empty tank...

Thanks.Nothing rare planned but want Bluefaced Angel pair for sure. Thinking about Regals or Scribbled too. Or maybe both if I have enough room.

I have thought about it but not not sure yet.

 

[MrsBugmaster]

Gotta bonded pair of pre quarantined Red Sea Regals on order!

 

[MrsBugmaster]

So what does everyone use in bottom of their stands for water proofing and to reduce vibration?

 

[fishguy242]
