Hello everyone! I originally made a thread in the zoanthid section on my 40g Breeder zoa collection tank and now that I’ve upgraded to a 135 gallon, I figured I would do a thread on the progression of that tank.
Here are a few pictures of my setup a few months ago, prior to breakdown and upgrading:
40g Breeder w/ 8g frag tank w/ 15g shallow reef (connected through a chain of overflows from one tank to another to the sump)
40g breeder
8g frag tank
15g shallow reef
Now as you can tell, I was/am a zoa nut lol so after some talking with my parents (still live with them lol I’m in college), they agreed to allowing me to upgrade! Here are some transfer pictures:
And so it begins!
Patiently awaiting their new home
Smells pretty good
A total of 2 days for the full transfer (one waiting for the system to stabilize and another putting everything in) with roughly half of the water from the existing system (40+8+15=63g) and new water for the rest. After a rough few days, the tank had been up and running and things were opening back up again!
Now 2 months since the transfer, most/all my zoas are gone :( but that was intentional! They have all gone to new homes and enjoying life :) now to start off fresh with some fire and not just zoas! And with that said, here are some of the first/new inhabitants of my new-er 135g!
Speckled krakatoas:
WWC OG bounces (maybe a giveaway for what my tank will be dominant in hehe):
Will post more pics along the way! Thank you for opening and looking!
