Jacob 240G build

So when moving tanks I messed up and broke my 125G I was so scared that my other tank was broken. I was moving all this by my self and I was taking the 125 off the stand and it wasn’t gonna make it if I pulled it off so I tried to put it back and it was balanced but the second I let go and walked away it fell onto my 240 and moved it. The tank cracked but luckily my 240 didn’t have a scratch.

Anyways I gave away the cracked tank for free and moved on. Here’s a semi finished pic. Didn’t have the lights running or the doors on.

I don’t have enough rock so I just threw in what I had so it wouldn’t dry out. I need to purchase more and make a scape. My old one was cemented together and I had to take it all apart. All that hard work gone. I still have to add the sand after I finish the rocks. But here’s a pic of it with the lights on

I am missing a light and I will need a few more power heads but it’ll come. I also want another t5 hybrid fixture.

while Doing this I realized my sump barely fits under my tank. So when I added the sump I put the skimmer in without the cup on top. I had it all running and realized it. So I had to spend hours trying to fix it with all the plumbing in. Well it didn’t end up working so I had to cut the plumbing and get a connector to make it easier for it to work. I forgot to glue the pieces in and it came off spraying me with 2400gph of water for a good 5 or so seconds. Floors are soaked now oops

So when I sprayed water all over the place it got on one of the power strips. And when I went to grab it and add another item to the strip I got shocked. Went all the way up my arm and made all my hair stand up. Luckily it was only for a second. Burnt my finger. I ditched the power strip. I can still feel it in my arm now

I plan on adding more fish and hopefully if I don’t end up killing my sps corals again then I will add more. I will wait a few months to add expensive corals till Everything seems like it happy and healthy.
