SCA 66g tank

[Jimbo662]

Getting the new tank ready so that once I get moved it'll be ready to fill and stock. Been trying to get a decent pic of the tank but with so many windows around it's been almost impossible.

Beginning stock will be a pair of black ice clowns, male Naoko's wrasse and a purple firefish. Tank will be mostly LPS / zoa's.

Tank: SCA 66g Starfire rimless
Light: XR30 pro
Flow: 2-MP10wQD
Pump: Waveline DC6000
Skimmer: SCA 302
18w UV

Got the plumbing done yesterday and started filling last night to test everything

My initial plan is to run it skimmerless since it'll be lightly stocked and see how the LPS respond. I'll run chaeto in the skimmer section with miracle mud in the center section.

WOOHOO...water test complete and no leaks!!!! Tweaking the pump and the drain now...such a PIA!!!

Picked up another RMS so I could throw one of the XR30's on it.

Couple of videos of all the frags in the frag tank.

Looking good! Can't wait to see them all on the tank.

Looking good! Can't wait to see them all on the tank.

Yeah...the wait is killing me. Probably at least 3 more weeks.

 

[normski619]

Dont worry, 3 weeks will go by fast =)

Thanks...I've been worried about the corals being in the temp frag tank for so long but so far so good.

I finally made the decision and ordered the Geisemann Aurora last night! :-)

[Jimbo662]

Look what Santa just delivered!

 

[Jimbo662]

Getting closer! Got it filled and pump running with no leaks! Got the stand light hooked up to the apex and salt is going in.

 

[Jimbo662]

Two more additions...UV attached to the back of the stand and T5's installed.

Getting closer. Started sharing water between the tank and frag tank yesterday. Probably another two days of that and I'll be able to just move everything over without having to acclimate every single thing in the tank. I've got two temp probes set up so I can match the temps in the two tanks.
