80g Shallow build

Time to sand and paint. Then the fun part, dealing with my rats nest of wires on the side of the tank. Hahaha

Nice work! My control board just hides the rats nest of wires lol

That’s exactly what this one will do! Hahaha

I’ve been testing parameters in the tank every other day with my hannah checkers and a Red Sea test kit. So far, the trident has been within 25-50ppm higher on calcium, around 50-75ppm higher on mag and .1-.15 higher on alk. I’m pretty happy with that and I love being able to grab my phone and have a decent idea of where my tanks at during the day.

I can spend hours looking at my tank and probably do, nearly every day. Everything is right where I want it and things are looking really good. I’ve got a nice sps box coming in a week that I picked up from a r2r member and a few other really nice corals from him.
I ordered some of the Flatz rock and plan to line most of the bottom of the tank with it for a bunch of Zoa gardens and some spots for the chalices.

Ughh…..I don’t really even want to start this. Lol

 

[c_healy]

Due to my amazing luck with water, I have finally decided to add some leak detection. Haha

 

[c_healy]

Now that the nasty cyano outbreak is just about gone I figure it’s time for a full tank shot.

 

[c_healy]

I just got done hooking up this custom break out box and setting it up on fusion. The flip switch is being used as a kill switch, shuts down all the pumps. The other three are being used for various feed timers for different equipment. I’m waiting on a few things to get here so I can wire up some automatic lighting inside the stand.

Finished making a screen top for the quarantine today. I’ve got a P. attenuatus coming tomorrow and this P. mccoskeri coming on Thursday. I think I may need to grab a larger tank for quarantine now. I was only planning on one fish this week. Haha

Can I ask where you are ordering fish from?

Yea. The diamond tail is from @NYAquatic and the mccoskers is from divers den. I also have ordered a couple fish from @Reefpro

I recently started checking @tsmaquatics but haven’t seen any of the wrasses on my list.

The newest addition is acclimated and already eating in the qt/acclimation tank.

Thanks to @NYAquatic for a very nice and healthy fish. He was eating while being drip acclimated.

Finally started laying again after the salinity drop.

Well, I’m home sick today so I decided to work on getting the diamond tail acclimated to me. I’ve been hanging out by his tank going through @dca22anderson insane build thread. I’ve got the itch for a big tank now! Haha

Just added the p. Mccoskeri to the observation tank. They’re working out the pecking order.

The diamond tail has been in the tank for only 2 days and it's already his tank lol

Both out and eating frozen foods. The diamond tail had been quite shy the first few days and it was hard to tell how much he was eating.
I started prazipro yesterday, should have these two in the display by the end of next month.

Great build thread. Following along.
