SaraB's 268G Envision Build

Sorry Sara I should have been more clear. Where did you get the vinyl baseboard trim at?

Thanks for your help. I just did my floor in the room. I am going to start my build thread soon. I will send you the link

That is from Home Depot. If you need some, I have a lot left over as I bought a box of it.

Beautiful tank Sara, I just spent the last hour going thru your thread.
AWSOME.

 

[Dejavu]

Very nice Sara.

 

[SaraB]

Thank you both!

Very nice setup. Looks to be filling out nicely!

 

[SaraB]

Thanks! I guess I had better update my thread one of these days ;)

Have you guys had the 'mobiles out yet?

 

[Cuda]

Thats quite a set up!

 

[ReefDoctor]

I was searching for my thread to post it in yours for my update and I see you found it already!

I'll have some system updates the week between Christmas and New Years.

For Coral updates, I had an Alk swing and killed 50% of my SPS and the carnage is still continuing, I also lost 1 Scoly yesterday along with my beautiful purple Helio Fungia. Cyno has kicked into full gear this week with the dying corals, so I'm not sure what is going on. I'm getting my CA Reactor online tomorrow and changed out my RO/DI filters and resin last night ... so we'll see what happens next.

My husband went for a short ride around here last weekend and the trails up north in WI just opened yesterday. We'll be riding the day after Christmas!

Thats a bummer Sara about your tank and the ALK. I just aquired one of your corals from a friends tank tear down. An Orange Crush Acan!!! Looks killer under the lighting I am running! Be sure to stable off your Calcium and ALK before you run the Calcium Reactor. I found the reactor is more of maintaining your levels than increasing them.

Cool, that Orange Crush would have came from the Drs. F&S Swap as that is the only place I sold frags of it.

Wow! That sucks. I know the feeling all too well. I hope things turn around for you.

Figured I had better update my thread with the latest changes that were done between Christmas and New Years with the assistance of Gary.

Changed out the main pump from a Dart to Barracuda and had to rebuild the stack for flow going to the new frag tank and a new 45G cube:

New Stack:

New Frag Tank:

Sump and Back of the display tank:

Remains of old 92G system -some frags are still being held in this sytem and will be moved once the new frag tank settles in and I get around to moving the Lumenarc over the new frag tank:

Adding a new double stacked top-off water tank and saltwater mixing tank. Each tank is 65 gallons each:

Plumbing one new water tank ... look Gary, I've been paying attention while you've been glueing

Wow, heck of a setup you have there Sara.
