Long story short, I have switched to a new sump, and basically run the third chamber to the chiller , then to the Siporax Reactor and back to the first sump stage drain area.
Andre’s Full blown 300Gallon SPS Reeftank up within a week ;-)

Michael Paletta and Devin, great Interview.

Um I feel silly I didn’t know you live here in Houston. ;Hilarious
I am striving for my little shallow tank to look 1/2 as good as yours! I’ll be needing an Andre frag pack soon. Lol

Here a few early morning pictures from the other day.
Big changes are coming, let’s start first with some new lights I can pickup tomorrow, to acclimate the corals to an upcoming transfer into a temporary Lagoon tank.......

Sure, hit me up. How big is that little shallow tank?
Easiest way is on FB, just PM me there for some fragtivity ;-)

That Efflo is insane! How long have you had that?
OP
OP
Yes, this Efflo is quite a piece. I got it originally about a decade ago from an Indo import straight from Route66 through a connection I had. It grows like weed and need lot of fragging, but is the most beautiful bluish type Efflo I ever saw in person. Really pretty and robust too. Named it Andre's Avatar Efflo since if you do your job well, it's glows like the forests in Avatar under Actinic lights.
And a very nice growth pattern even when the colony is small.

OP
New lights were also installed, very pretty.
I have them running now since already 2 weeks or more and still did not have the time to play around with the light settings.
Very happy with it, even while the visual appearance of the corals can't be beaten by the ATI Powermodule ;-)

Since the tank breakdown is getting closer, I try to sell as many corals as possible in cheap frag packs and larger colonies. Since all Shipping equipment has been boxed and stored for all the time the swap will take, I was able to frag a lot of colonies but still feels like I haven't touched the tank ........

Another pack I made many times.......

Soooooooo.............. here it goes towards the end with this thread and closer to the end of this tank :-(
Here the intermediate Lagoon Tank build thread to continue the journey
www.reef2reef.com
As a temporary tank system, which allows me to start fresh somewhat and select my most favorite corals, it's also a very interesting and somewhat different to run a Lagoon tank.
As well the interest on Lagoon tanks is recently gaining a lot of interest in the community, and to be honest I love the idea of a larger Lagoon afterwards, rather than a large normal shaped rectangled tank.
Dirty summary of the Gameplan is to quickly cycle the new tank for a few days the "Andre way" and then load it all up with corals.
As usual, all this happens within a week or so. For now, I'm waiting for all the equipment to arrive to finalize the build and plumbing.
This Lagoon will have to run independent of the existing tank, to avoid any Aptaisia in this tank, I will not reuse anything from the existing tank either.
Reef Moonshiners method will be applied from the beginning to ensure a smooth start.
Here some sneak peak pictures, of the tank when it arrived with a quick check if I have gotten enough shelf rock for the setup.
The tank is a Neptunian Cube setup, with a however XL Sump variance.
Already love the tank and engineered features. Sump is a beast and well engineered.
Right now I'm finishing the flooring where this Lagoon will be installed in the office, also waiting for more equipment to arrive.
Then I can do the first round of installation of "stuff" to start filling it up ;-)
Very exited.
Here one of the 2 Jebao Crosswave 180's. Will see how they work out in the shallow, biggest Jebao you can get.
I run 2 of these but smaller in my main display since a while, performing very well and robust as well as dead silent.
I have Salt, Powermodule, Tropic Eden Sand, Shelf rock, Oversized pumps, Powerfilter setup and Chaeto , Skimmer, Siporax Pond, Bioballs, Socks, as well as Potato Vodka and tons of Biodigest to startup at least.
Lots of Equipment still needed and not much room down there will require a second cabinet to house the Carx, Dosing, and Controls stuff.

Large Build - Andre's Reef Moonshiners Lagoon
Hello everyone, many may know me already due to the Reef Moonshiner's, Hobby related articles and Videos etc. I was asked to document my Lagoon Tank build somewhat, which is used actually to break down my current 300DD in order to restart it at some point or get replaced with another one, time...
