Phoenix tank build

[Topekoms]

So back in July 3rd I had a house fire which destroyed my tank. So after insurance pay out I got a new one thanks to aquarium artisans in Cincinnati Ohio

Will keep posting as it grows up. Thankful that insurance covered the equipment and all animals survived. Enjoy

So fish are now in the tank. I know I know it isn't cycled but I really needed to get them out of the 93 they were in. I have added some bottle bacteria by Dr tims and adding some turbo start on Friday. All the fish seem to be much happier in the 210 couple scrapes and torn fins from moving but no one worst for wear. Everyone is eating even my tube nem is happy

Little cloudy from the Dr tims

How did the tank/equipment not survive but the livestock did?!?!?

I was thinking the same thing.

I was thinking the same thing.

Acrylic? Melty/warped?

I was able to kill the power so the sump wouldn't feed Ash to the tank since fire was in basement. Then due to contaminates in on around all tank equipment it was trashed. The aquarium artisans who I hired for tank repair couldn't guarantee that it wouldn't have leached out later and was better to replace

So was the tank its self trashed or just the equipment?

Sorry to hear about the house fire. Looks like the new setup is coming along nicely!

you could sell it make a few hundred bucks or make another reef tank.

Need to try to see if it will clean before I try to sell it

 

[Topekoms]

So here is another update added 3 more tube nems. Still in the ugly stage but it's starting to clean up. Have some clean up crew coming this week

 

[CasaReefer]

[Topekoms]

So haven't posted in a while had to pull fish due to ich so going fallow until 5 fed here is a picture of the tank added a few nems and corals

 

[Topekoms]

So almost done with fallow just waiting on middle of Feb. Further out of the ugly stage. CUC has taken care of the green. Starting to see some coraline algae. Will post more pics up sometime this week

Did you reuse any of the rock from your 180?

 

[Topekoms]

No it all went in the trash
