Hejjo's 150 build.

[hejjo]

Hello everyone. I'm moving to a new house and therefore I pretty much have to upgrade my tank right? Moving on up from my 72 bow front to a 150 that I scored for practically nothing on cragslist. The tank is made by all glass aquariums and looks brand new. I couldn't even find a single scratch on this pristine tank.

My last post was a pic of the tank before I picked it up and brought it home. At the new house filling up!!

 

[hejjo]

Had an issue with the heater that was keeping everything at the correct temp in the trash can that held all the coral.
The tank temp was right where i wanted it but was still waiting on the tank to settle so I

floated all the coral until then.

It was a long day since of course i had a wedding to attend the next day lol.

 

[hejjo]

Tank settled but didn't have time to set up rock and place coral since i had a wedding to attend the next day. I just placed all the coral in egg crate till i got back the next day.

 

[hejjo]

It was a slow and steady pace the day after the wedding since there was a 6 hour open bar lol.

then... one of my leds fell in the tank

sadly the board fried out

 

[hejjo]

Woke up at 4 am to 5 -10 gallons all over the floor. A hose popped off and the sump emptied all over my doser. Grabbed my doser like an idiot cuz I jus woke up and got a rude awakening. Shocked me so good I couldn't let go lol. Had to fall away from it. Why it didn't trip the breaker I don't know. I'm fine but sadly my doser is not.

Got the canopy framed out. Will finish it at a later date when funds are available.

 

[hejjo]

Gfo and carbon up and running.
Ran out of room underneath which is why I made the canopy larger to accommodate future needs.

 

[hejjo]

Rock set up with all my coral placed in one area.
Need 100lbs of Rock to finish the aquascape. It's a reef on a budget so lil by lil I'll get there.

Can't find my camera filters since the move. I'll get a better shot once they are found

Thank you! For being a budget reef it's turning out pretty decent so far. Still need another 100lbs of Rock to fill in the open abyss to the left. Plus I've packed about all the coral I can on the 60 lbs that's in it.

 

[hejjo]

Made a box from scrap pieces of plexiglass to hold my phone for top down pics!

 

[hejjo]

Received 50 lbs of rock from Billy's reef connection and wow! Unbelievable how cheap this rock is yet the quality is amazing.
