Been a hot minute…some coral updates!

Well, it’s been awhile…over a month to be exact. A lot has happened to the tank since early December. First thing was adding ALOT more coral, a few fish changes, as well as finally skinning the stand (it’s so much quieter now) LOL.

Pics below of the progress on the stand. I still need to finish the last bottom pieces to really close it all in, but my garage is freezing and I didn’t feel like running the table saw lol. Probably will this weekend, we will see.

Also still have to redo the wire management now, but I’m in no rush to do that since I plan on adding another hydros unit soon & changing out my return pump to something slightly larger.

I’ll highlight my coral additions and fish changes in another post.

I also just realized I uploaded photos of it unstained around the lip, and mid stain LOL. I’ll upload a better pic tonight.

Alas, some better pics of the stand.

While I’m here, since everyone likes coral pictures…here’s a photo dump from the past week or so!

So it’s been a hot minute since I’ve posted. Life got super crazy between work, and renovating our house. The tank is doing amazing and grown quite a bit! Some new coral, a lot fragged and sold - I’ll post some growth pictures soon

But most of all…the 90 will be replaced in the coming weeks with my new (to me) 150! Snagged this for nearly nothing locally. Tank tan for a few years and is incredible shape. Excited to give my fish proper room to swim!

I’ll be starting a new thread for the 150 build, since I’ll be retiring the 90 in the coming weeks. I’ll post a link soon!

Large Build - May The Madness Begin. Again. Planet Aquariums 180 Build!

At 3:00 AM last Thursday, my wife and I awoke to my tank alarm and the fire alarm going off. My oceanic 150 blew a seam and causing an electrical fire. In my 14 years of being in this hobby, I never thought something like this would happen to me (jokes on me lol). Luckily, there’s no damage to...
