For the past 5 years or so, I have not had an active Reef. I've had a few tank crashes due to power outages and diseases.
I've managed to restart my 150G Reef again during COVID because you just have that kind of time now (Beats watching Netflix of TV)
I have 2 Main Tanks.
150G Fish Only Tank in the wall (Plexi) - (Not intended for this thread)
150G Mixed Reef Lemar Glass Tank (With Edges)
I did not take that many pictures of the restart. But I had to clean all Live Rock and run it with Fresh Water for a month before introducing Salt and Bacteria.
I have though managed to install all the new equipment which I purchased 4 years ago on a black-Friday-Neptune Sale and never installed it until now.
So now Running with Apex, EB832, WXM, FMM, and an AFS. I also have two DOS modules, 2 WAV Heads and 2 Vortech MP40s , and Finally a Unicorn "Trident".
I have 3 Light Modules, 2x Gen 4 Radion 15s and I recently added a Gen 5 Radion 15 (total 3 LED Modules on top) and I have one (2 Mini T5s on top as well)
Got a Seneye Monitor as well...
Sump has ClariSea SK-5000 for Filter, Vertix 180 Skimmer, AI Prime 16 Fuge Light, BRS Carbon/GFO Filter and a CO2 Scrubber (yet to install). I also Have a LiterMeterIII for water changes.
I will continue to add to this...
Current State: (5 Months after Restart) - I will post the progression in a follow up post.
