The big tank is in place. Had a small issue with the window being slightly undersized, but Atomic fixed it up quickly and after a couple coats of paint, boom!

It’s been quiet for a bit while works goes on in the rest of the basement, but I have plumbing parts on the way and I was able to get the lights in place over both of the new tanks today.

It took a couple days, but I finally got all the plumbing done for the two new tanks. Running water through them now, trying to get the temp/salt/Alk/and calc right before I tie in the plumbing for the reef tank upstairs.
Since this is plumbing in with a well established reef with lots of extra live rock, she should be ready for fish in a week or two!

Got the door to the fish room installed today as well. This is officially my second favorite feature.

The speakeasy door is so awesome. Are you actually going to put books on it?

Frag tank is up and running. Have a start on it, but need to get this filled up!

Long story short, I committed an egregious error. I did not quarantine my new fish, and now I’m currently scrambling to setup a qt system because I have velvet in the tank. Since this is all tied in with my existing system, to say I’m worried is an understatement. I have lost 9 fish in a very short amount of time. Luckily, I have no loss from my reef tank as of yet. The stingray is looking good, and I still have a clown tang, purple tang, porcupine puffer, and a bursa trigger in the pred tank. Idk if it is just temporary, but so far those guys all look fine. Hopefully I’ll be able to get them into a qt quickly and save the rest of my fish.

Been awhile…Fish are all well! I have been slowly adding some fish and everything is doing great! Last night, I finally moved my most prized euphyllia up from the frag tank. I was hesitant bc everything was doing great in the frag tank and I didn’t want to risk them.
