So i thought i would try and document my rebuild of new grow out tank and current Display . I have been reefing for about 18 months and i have learned alot in that time. Kept a FOWLR tank before i tried coral. My tank has been up since August 2017, I had no idea what i was doing but found acros easy to keep so what started as a mix reef turned into acro dominant pretty quick. My plan is to install new grow out tank in the next month which is going to be 48x24x14, Cycle for a month and add coral from current grow out into it. Then at Chrissy time ill rip down my display and put coral into new grow out. Then add new scape to DT. I want display to just have corals that i have had in grow out for some time so i can see what they look like before adding to display. I didnt load up my display as i had a 6 week holiday planned a few months ago, now im back i can take my time doing it properly. Ill try and take some nice pics but i normally fail, its alot easier now i have t5's though(only added them 3 weeks ago)
Grow out tank had a massive GHA bloom when i was away so i just started glueing things into display so they wont die when i got back. Its a mess atm but it just temporary so i dont care.
