Looking good.Update with some corals in it.
I think it's like 9ft. It's long that I had to tie excess with a zip tie.What's the cord length on that power center? I'm looking for something for the agressive build in my basement.
I'm new (aka totally ignorant about this stuff), but aren't you taking a huge risk putting in all the expensive fish and coral before your tank has had time to cycle? Asking bc we have a new tank, about a week old, and that was the advice we got from everyone and in past when I had a tank as well. What am I missing?
Gotcha. Well the reason I was wondering, is we are in similar situation. We bought a tank that was in use, got new live sand, new water, kept the live rock with a few Kenya tree corals and coraline algae on it. Got a big Coral Life skimmer (not sure what size) in a 28 gal sump and chaeto algae arrives tomorrow for refugium section. Got a MarineLife BioWheel 350 (only rated to 75 gal but it's just a helper) with 4 filtration pads in it. We've had it up a week. And we got 6 1 inch damsels to help cycle it faster last Saturday. Got zero amm, nitrite, nitrate so far.It ain't my first rodeo first of all. I did reef all the way back in 2007 and got out about 2010 so been out almost 10 years. I got all live sand to begin with and all the live rock were existing rocks I bought from other folks and most from my temporary tank that was previously setup for many years from a friend. So everything was all seasoned before they were placed within the tank. Plus weekly water changes and testing. It will go through a cycle yes but I made it out faster as it's got no ammonia, nitrite, and less then 0.5 nitrate.
That's what we kind of thought. Set his tank up like he had it, wait a couple more weeks (more if water chemistry dictates), then transfer everything over and sell the extra. Thanks!I don't see that to be a problem. And yes I would rid the damsels. But becareful when you move fish as they will be stress enough from the move as it is. If you want to you can move the tank with only existing items and set it back up. Wait for a month or so after everything calms down before you make the full transfer.
