Screw it, I'm going to fast track this build, just ordered the jebao too.
Now I just need gate valve for drain and flex tubing for return pump to tank.
That’s the reefing spirit!

So we can fully anticipate it being wet tomorrow morning, right? :p

Looking forward to seeing it all set up and flourishing!

Ok, so I admit it; I've been a lousy member of R2R and a crappy friend. I could give all kinds of excuses/reasons why I went MIA but will save you the agony. Bottom line is I jumped out of the R2R ocean without warning or saying anything to nearly anyone. It was an uncalled for and selfish act. So, I offer my apologies to you, and anyone else, that I had built a cyber-friendship with through this forum. I won't let it happen again.
Me too wish it was more active but life takes over sometimes!
Whoa, this sounds awesome!
right!!

The top clown in that photo was Coco he died from injuries from being in the 40b with the established pair they aggressively attacked him for 24hrs until I got him out, unfortunately it was too late. He went into the office tank but only lasted a week, never ate again after the attack.
The bottom clownfish is Puff (Davinci Roundtail Longfin)

First picture is the new Coco (Lightning Mochaccino)
Second picture is of Coco, Puff, Dory & Turbo

Horrible! My two Blue Green Chromis we’re getting along fine and then suddenly one became super aggressive with the other and beat it to death to the point that it turned to a reddish color I guess from internal injuries. I was so mad I wanted to take the bully and flush his butt down the toilet. But I didn’t it’s just their nature I guess.

The 50 cube is officially set up now.
I put some rocks in yesterday, most are from the 20 gallon that this tank replaced.
None of the aquascape is cemented, bonded or glued together so I'm not sure how permanent it is yet.
All the fish are happy, Dory was transferred to the larger tank during the set up.
Skimmer will be turned on tomorrow.

What else are you needing for your tanks now?
Well since I have an apex already I'd like to get my dc8 going or upgrade to an eb8 powerbar so I can manage and track the goings on of the office tank. I check the temp couple times a day right now.
The tank needs a top, the one I built was for the 40b so this tank has no top right now.
Ordering that next week.
Then I need a light, have one picked out but waiting for tax money until I get it.
Going to get the new AI prime 16 HD
I like it! Cabinet is pretty
Thank you.
It's the cabinet that came with the SCA tank. I believe he had them made by locally there in CA.
It's the rustic grey stand, and from what I believe he has stopped offering these nicer upgraded stands.?
