210G Post Nuke Reboot 2.0

[Doctorgori]

I am also moving my electronics to the left side of the tank; WAAAAAY easier said than done. I’m spending a small fortune just in electrical cords extensions, not to mention proprietary cables for Orbit, Neptune, et. I’m having BIG issues using non-Neptune USB cables so I had to drop another $50 buying genuine Neptune cables

This time i’m making a matching electronics cabinet that will butt up against the stand and roil/fold open to access the gear

I’m in Berea not far from the Metropark, you and anyone else nearby are welcome to stop by anytime

How are things progressing?

 

[Sdoutreefer]

That's awful about your previous tank. That would be devastating...

Tagging along. This looks like it's gonna be a good one!

Hi there. How’s your current tank doing and what do you have in it?

Hi there. How’s your current tank doing and what do you have in it?

I have 3
The 1st pic is a Reefer 900XXXL , it used to house a few large fish like a Idol, Rock beauty, et but a single tomato clown went off the rails after I had a major surgery and could do nothing but watch the fish destroy the tank…efforts to hire someone where fruitless for a LONG time in these parts… it currently houses 4 tangs, anthias and a pair of clowns ..et
The corals are mostly sps, no or slow growth , no clue why ..they wont die but they wont grow either…

The 2nd pic is a Reefer 750 XXL ..its mostly LPS, euphillias et…LOOKS NICE BUT I was loosing hammers at about a head per week…no clue why but tank is otherwise fine…most of the fish are from KP Aquatics/ Carribean odd ball stuff, grammas, cardinals, Big blue tang an a copperband…might be a few blennies, hawkfish, not sure..LOL

The last is a Reefer 300, it has some Reidi Seahorses and some wild type mollies…easy stuff like zoas, et
i also have this big experiment going on in the garage but barely qualified to perform it…Any help appreciated LOL ( pardon the blue, misplaced by orange filter..arggh)

Lemme see if I have shots with a filter
