Expecting the tank sometime next week!!!


TRYING TO DECIDE ON WHAT FISH TO ADD CURRENT WISH LIST :

green mandarin in the refugium
Moorish idol
Tasseled file fish
Leopard wrasse
Pair of midnight ocellaris clownfish

Clown tang
Blue tang

Probably more to come. But those are the top of the list at the moment

Cut the carpet where the tank will be going! 2 days left until it's here!

So I didn't account for the lip on the stand and the tank is no longer going here! It is now currently sitting in the entry way haha! Still awaiting the sump as well.

hey guys! so still waiting on the sump to arrive, pretty dissappointed, it was supposed to have arrived yesterday but while waiting for that,
I have a few questions as to how you plumb a sump and internal overflow box? completely new to the sump and overflow box game lol any tips or links would be greatly appreciated

 

[sheatime]

Alright! So finished the plumbing today! Added some additional 2x4's on the box of the stand to make family feel safer lol. But all is good! Will be filling with water tomorrow!

 

[sheatime]

Alright so it's been a long time since the last update!! But had a plumbing fault and had to replumb and purchase a new pump among other things.... But the pvc is fully set and the pump will be turned on tomorrow! Hopefully no fatal error like last time. All wiring is mounted via command hooks to the ceiling and the boxes are on a side wall in the stand

Added my first couple fish today! A beautiful moorish idol and an Achilles tang!

added in a few other fish over the past couple weeks.

Pair of extreme black misbar oscellaris clownfish and a yellow breasted tamarin wrasse
