gcarroll's 260g SPS reef

[gcarroll]

2 years for a sump??

I’ll have John build you a sump. I’ll even have him put a vertex sticker on it, you won’t even know the difference. Hahaha

To be fair, I didn’t give them the go ahead for the sump until September after we moved in.

We went from a 260, a smoker and then a nano. What's next? Hahaha

Now I'm hungry from catching up on the thread hahaha

It’s been a long long time to get a sump. What’s up with that!?

 

[mch1984]

Just read this thread, and I have joined the wait for the sump. I like the nano, and look forward to see the 260.

Braking news...the tank will.be ready with water by end of 2020....

 

[gcarroll]

Sorry guys, no one is more frustrated with this build than I am! I can only hope the wait will be over soon. Once RAP NY is over I will set aside some time to start on the lights, controller, and electrical. I was advised that my Marco Rock has been delivered to Unique Corals. Joe will be coming by to aquascape and cement the rockscape together.

Oh yeah... I forgot about the tank. I came here looking for more pictures of BBQ!

@gcarroll - we understand how difficult it is for you and we are with you only if you keep the thread updated with more BBQ pics

I didn't see a calcium reactor in the list ? What's it gonna be and how are you gonna run it ?

Abhishek

Also please take a lot of pics of the marco rocks once Joe has completed the aquascape . When I saw the finished aquascape in reefapalooza orlando that he did, my eyes literally popped out. Amazing shelves and perfect for acros .

Abhishek

Marco Rock...great choice Greg. I did the same, lots of room for sps on those flat pieces.
Looking forward to an update as well!

Went home at lunch today. Gotta love Dr Tim’s One and Only! Tank is completely cycled.

I even got some denitrification going on in the sand.

First time it’s being explained to me what that means when the sand bed looks like that. Looking forward to your talk on Saturday!

 

[Terence]

So, did the sump come in yet? Did I miss it?

 

[dantimdad]

Please, update this build!

 

[gcarroll]

Please, update this build!

The aquascape is planned for this Friday. Will be using Marco Rock shelf rock. Joe Caparatta of Unique Corals is coming by to help with the aquascape. I'll be sure to take photos and get them updated for the thread. Sorry for the delays.
