This tank has been up and running for a bit but I thought I'd start a build thread for it.
Monday 17/01/2022
I bought a second hand Red Sea E260 from my LFS that came with all equipment including the sump upgrade for $5000 AUD. about $3700 USD
Tank
2 x stock Ai Hydra 26s
2 x return pumps
1 x Hailea Chiller
1 x Octo skimmer (not sure which model)
1 x Eheim 200 watt heater
1 x aquael 150 watt heater
2 x filter socks
Tuesday 18/01/2022
I cleaned out all of the equipment and put the tank together.
Monday 31/01/2022
I went back to my LFS and constructed an aquascape from caribsea liferock. However they were out of sand.
7/02/2022
I bought the sand from my LFS.
Wednesday 17/02/2022
I start mixing saltwater and filling up the tank
Friday 26/02/2022
The tank is finally filled up. (tiny RO unit) And I get the return pumps and lights on. I also seeded the tank with a few little pieces of Live rock from my nano reef tank.
Saturday 5/03/2022
I added two nassarius snails and two hermits from my nano tank to this tank after tank shutdown and I bought putty from my LFS adding the top plate to my scape. Also turned on and attached the chiller.
Saturday 19/03/2022
My tank finished It's cycle and I added a pair of clowns.
That is my tank so far. I know some of the pics are bad.
