So my fiance and I just got our own place. In the midst of planning a wedding and moving, I had the bright idea to upgrade my tank size from a 40 breeder to an 80 rimless. I found the perfect tank to make this the center piece of our apartment. Slapped some paint on the stand, cleaned up the glass, and started to fill with water. Add some salt, a heater, and some powerheads. Let it sit for a day.
Moving day of my 40 breeder comes. Getting ready while thinking of ways to transport all of my livestock 40 minutes away. Ended up winging it. Gave it my best aquascape. Two islands. Coral randomly placed. Using my old reefbreeders value light which only covers half the tank. One mp10 for flow.
A few days passed, UPS finally shows up. New reefbreeders photon v2 and RPM wavemaker in the mail. Re-organize corals. Finally ready to take a picture of my display.
