Stoneys 120 gallon mixed reef to 220.6 waterbox build

[Stoneys'Reef]

Welllllllll....... we started putting the cabinet together today and it was damaged pretty bad. This whole experience has been a Big pain in the butt to say the least. Now we have a 6 foot by 4 foot cabinet 1/2 put together in the middle of our living room until God knows when ?? In the words of a wise man named Homer Simpson " Dooeught"

Some under cabinet lights are in . 5 colors including white. Panels will be here on Wednesday so the cabinet can be completed and the sump, ato, and neptune system can be put into place. If anyone has any advice on anything please feel free to chime in. Thanks

Finally getting somewhere Now. @waterboxaquariums did a great job getting the new panels to me super quick ! Now on with the build.

Part of the project nearing completion. Here is part of the Neptune System. The Mp 40s will be here early next week and then the daunting task of setting the tank and finishing the plumbing.

Thank you ! There was a few blowups on my end lol. In the end All is well though. We live just North of the Ohio line . Yes we try to hit frag swaps when we can. We bought a 3 headed hellfire torch from Coral Kingz there . Cannot wait to get it under the new HD lights. We are running china specials right now. Growth is alright but the colors are lacking .

We go to Fish doctor but almost all fish from them die on us ? Not sure why ? Tropicorrium has healthier fish in my opinion. What about you ?

Fish doctor is my go to. That's where just about all my fish come from. I have only been to tropicorrium 1 time very different store then I have ever been In. But that coral reef store in Ohio pretty good. They where ordering me a leporad wrasse before the pandemic happen.

We buy most of our stuff from Fish Doctor. Just haven't had great luck with there fish. I always figured they were just way over stressed because of how busy that place is ? Never know , it could be my fault somehow also . Tropicorrium is definitely a different place lol. They do alot of there own breeding and they know A TON .

 

[Stoneys'Reef]

With all of that said ! The day we have been waiting for has arrived ! Say hello to my lil friend

they are busy alot. But idk why ur fish would die. Only fish I have died from them was a firefish but they do offer a 14-day guarantee which most fish stores don't do so that's nice if you want to take advantage of it. But if you ever got any Coral or equipment you want to sell hit me up first. Lol new tank looks great man one day I'll have the money to buy one them. Can't wait see it all filled up.

I have lots of coral we are looking to let go of because they grow way too fast. Purple and green trumpets. Fire red discoma mushrooms. Green star polyps. Neon green leather trees. If any of that catches your attention?
