[leepink23]

Added CO2 scrubber and carbon reactor. Will be adding fish Friday.

Couple more of my acros growing in the frag tanks.

We might need an FTS on that frag tank!

I will get some pictures when I go Friday to get my fish. It’s a dual lowboy loaded with acros and zoas. It’s been running about 2 years.

The 2 stars of my tank are happy and eating!

Well I ordered a custom @cromag27 lid for my tank. He is extremely thorough and helpful in making sure I get exactly what I need!

 

[leepink23]

Also had to go buy a dehumidifier. Our house ac barely runs because it’s well insulated. Probably mid summer it won’t be needed. I am thinking spring and fall it will be needed.

Hey @leepink23 ... just read all four pages of your build. It's a nice set up and your frag tanks are sweet! Looking forward to following along and watching your new 180 come to life.

Thank you!! It’s hard not taking some of those frags right now and putting them in the 180 but slow and steady wins the race.

Fish are all super happy. Just kind of on cruise control now letting this system keep maturing

 

[leepink23]

Ordered some pods and phyto now that I am getting algae. Also put some trochus in QT at the shop.

 

[leepink23]

Added pods today. Planning on adding wrasse in a few months so time to get this going. They should be happy with the diatoms I have growing. Was really pleased with this order!!

 

[leepink23]

First corals are in the tank. Cornbread Bowsers, Cornbread Rainbow Infusions, Arc Jokers, WWC Halle Berry, Yodas. No plans to add anything else for now.

 

[leepink23]

Ordered my next round of fish.
Foxface
Leopard Wrasse
Pink Margin Wrasse
Mccoskers Wrasse
Diamond Goby

 

[leepink23]

Added some corralline. Never tried this before and bought way less than recommended. The snails I am getting are covered in it but wanted to introduce a different color.

Are you only running the 2 gyres? I have the exact same tank (with bracing) and find my 2 Neros and 1 Gyre are barely enough.

Build looks great so far! Following along.
