Upgrading my tank by 1200%

[jason.kennedy.98478]

The time has come to install my lights. Had to buy this guy cause yeah the metric system

Than had to make sure I still knew how to use a dial caliper, so I drilled a test hole in some scrap

And it works

 

[jason.kennedy.98478]

So here we have the positions of the lights marked and where the holes need to be for the the anchors

Anchor holes drilled

Power cable holes drilled

And vent holes drilled

Soon as the new paint dries it will be time to hang the lights

 

[jason.kennedy.98478]

Mkay here we go, light installed and leveled

Wires out of the way for now, the extra will be cut after I figure out if they need to lowered

Both lights

FTS with lights, finally, coming soon

 

[jason.kennedy.98478]

As promised

So just ordered the first 2 fish, that didn't come with my rock, for the tank today. Bonus points to whom ever can guess what they are

Got these guys from @NYAquatic today. Great packaging and they look super healthy, plus cant beat the price.

I'll post some pics of them in the tank in a few

Well I've done it this is all that remains of my nano tank.

Everything has been transferred to the 120

 

[jason.kennedy.98478]

Not reef related I know but finished up another DIY project

I didn't make the freezer in case you were wondering.

Anyway back to the tank current fish count is as follows:

Yellow tang
Purple tang
Gold stripe maroon
Snowflake clown
Darwin clown
2 damsels

Giving the fish some time to settle in before I get some wrasses and gobys/ jaw fish

Also on the look out for a sweet lightning and mocha storm/ frostbite
