This is a long time coming but is finally happening. I bought a Deep Blue custom 60x27x24 DT with custom cabinet when I graduated nursing school 8 years ago and it has been sitting in my garage ever since. Life just got in the way. I had a tank crash due to a stuck heater several years ago and sort of lost interest since. I have maintained what was left after the crash half heartedly until recently. what I have left is a 60" 120 Gal with a DIY sump controlled with a Digital Aquatics controller with a 29 Gal DIY sump.
The only thing left in the DT are a Naso, Yellow, and Tomini Tang and 1 mocha clown (Black with a orangeish face now that he is big). A TON of purple and red mushrooms (pretty much covering the whole aquascape) and a few orange ricordia.
Oh, and can't forget the vermitid snails...lots and lots of vermitid snails...
Other than the 4 fish I have had forever I am only keeping the ricordia from the old tank...eveything else will be totally new. I have been accumulating equipment over the last six months and and ready to start this thread. I wanted to wait until I could post fairly frequently during the change.
Here is the old tank that was a fantastic mixed reef many years ago.
I wanted to wait so I could review equipment I was using during this build. the fish and the ricordia will be spending time in QT during the change.
