Cancun's Red Sea Reefer 750 XXL upgrade

[cancun]

Making saltwater in the aquarium..... and another 50 gallons of saltwater in the basement....don't worry no sand or rock in the tank yet....adding half my rock from my current tank, and half live rock from LFS, 100lbs of sand, and hooking up sump tomorrow.

Ok....got half of my rock from my tank that is still running, another 50lbs of new live rock, and about 100lbs of new live sand....here are new pics from today....

Hi! Ok will get better pics tomorrow.....here is one of half of my tank....took about a day to clear up...had skimmer off because I added a few bottles of bacteria....oh and when moving some large pieces of live rock from my tank to the new tank, my flame tail Blenny went missing. Turned out he hid deep in a hole in the rock. He is fine, and loves being the only one in such a large tank. Tested and Ammonia is 0, nitrites are 0, and nitrates are 2ppm.... didn't think I would have much of a cycle. So far loving this tank!!!! [emoji16]

Hi! Got a lot done today...I had no cycle....but tested and tested for four days. So last night I put my coral in, and today the rest of my live rock, my nems, and fish! All went well...my leopards never went in the sand and used a specimen container to catch all my fish. Here are pics! Sorry for the pic quality.....sand was a little stirred up! LOL!

Also bought this return line upgrade kit from Vivid Creative Aquatics. So far I really like it. Sorry for the cloudy pic.....my Wrasses decided to make a sand storm as I was putting it on! LOL!

Hows the Varios S-6 handling the tank so far?

Hows the Varios S-6 doing so far for return?

Hows the Varios S-6 handling the tank so far?

So far so good! I have it set at level 4. I had it at level 2 until I got the new return nozzle. With the stock one anything above a level 2 would create a huge sand storm.

It is doing great! It is really quiet too! I was going to go with the EchoTech Vectra because I love the MP40s and Radions, but I kept hearing stories of them going out within a year it shortly after. So i decided to try the VarioS-6.

Here's a pic of my old tank....my LFS is on there way over to pick it up so they can sell it for me!

What are the stocking plans so far?

Hi! Well this tank is a upgrade from my existing tank. My tank was a Innovative Marine SR80. I put the new tank in a different location, so I was able to move everything over when the new tank was ready. I know I was overstocked, please don't judge me! LOL! My current fish I have had a long time are:

1. Red Coris Wrasse
2. Earmuff Wrasse
3. Yellow Coris Wrasse X 2
4. Blue Star Leopard Wrasse X 2
5. Melegris Leopard Wrasse X 2
6. Moyers Leopard Wrasse
7. Male Melanarus Wrasse
8. Solar Fairy Wrasse
9. Purple Tang
10. Flame tail Blenny
11. Flame Angel


I moved them over to the new tank last Saturday. All settled in nicely and didn't miss a beat. As far as new fish I probably won't add too many more. These guys have been together a long time, and they all get along great! I would like to add a Midas Blenny, a yellow belly Regal Angel, and lastly a China Wrasse if I can find a healthy specimen that is eatting well. That's about it. As you can tell I LOVE Wrasses! [emoji6]

Wrasses are my fav, leopards especially! Only reason i will be upgrading in the future is to add more wrasses to my collection. Lol.

Good for you! I always recommend Wrasses to people! They are so active and they each have their own personally! Here is a picture of my Red Coris.....I raised him since he was barely a inch long. I have had him for several years!
