My Dream Build 150

Awesome. What is insta-cycle

@Weasel1960, lol its a made up term i like to use as in when moving an established reef system into a new clean tank, there should be no worry of a cycle or die off when done properly. I believe some call it a skip cycIe. I won’t be transferring any old sand, just established rock that will be cleaned quickly in new saltwater before adding to the 150. I had a nice discussion with brandon429 about it which gave me more confidence :)

It totally worked for me! I upgraded from my 75 to my new 150.
I transferred my live rock and marine pure spheres, adding NEW live sand, BAM, insta-cycle! Once the cloudiness settled (a day later) I added my fish with zero loss!

You can do that with sand as well or even a sponge.

@Reef-junky Right, but I’m moving my whole tank so not necessary in this case :). It will be instant as well

@benapilot That’s awesome, love it!

 

[Zach B]

@Reef-junky That’s how i did the qt’s, sponges from the dt :)

More stuff to hide in the fish room ;) . We will see how well this little light works in time. Either way excited to try it out soon

Moved nearly all the rock, fish and corals last night. This was shot late last night with moonlights, and a night mode on my phone. Still adding fish today and moving the old tank, I will snag some photos with whites on later today or tomorrow. Happy Friday All :)

Nice. I like the rock work.

 

[Zach B]

@JayRozzer Thank you! It turned out pretty good for a quick transfer. I will get some more pictures with all of the lights on

Well my control board is getting there, nearly done. There is room for another dos & mp40 controller. I still have some wire management to do everywhere lol. My sump and system have been working great so far. Awc's via the dos have been great, I'm so glad I'm not hauling buckets around for that anymore :)

I'll have to get some more shots of these guys but here's a sneak peak :)

How do you like the Clarisea ?

 

[Zach B]

@JayRozzer I really like it so far! It's amazing what gets pulled out of the water that a filter sock might not get. I believe they have some room for improvement and I'm sure we will see it in the future but so far it has been great
