Hey there! New here and although I'm not New to SW and reefkeeping I JUST bought and transported my new tank a few days ago! I acquired this BEAUTIFUL cherrywood custom stand, canopy and 90g tank with inhabitants. It was professionally maintained and has been established for 7 years.
It was a 14 hour day (2.5 hr travel to get it)
I transported all the fish with the intention of same day setup. I had 60g of heated sw already mixed the day before pickup and we transported as much water as possible. It was a very thought out process.
The fish include a Heniochus, foxface, blue tang, bird wrasse, maroon clown, and a Falco hawkfish. The rock is just base rock. This tank has been setup for as little maintenance as possible.
So far its day 3 and everyone has been doing great. Salinity 1.023, ph 8.3, temp 79, nitrite/nitrate 0 ammonia. 5ppm which is expected. I have dosed with beneficial bacteria and prime and have an ammonia pad in the sump tray. Starting to get diatoms so the cycle is going well.
