Hey all! Finally decided to sit down and actually start up my own thread. First? A little back story. Several years ago I got hooked on the hobby with a 55 long and several tanks bought/traded I landed my best deal yet. A 150 tall for $120 with stand and canopy. I was VERY slowly making progress and upgrading equipment. I had it up and running with decent enough success until the fateful coral that I didn’t QT brought in the cyano that would be my tanks downfall. After months of trying to get it under control, the tank ended up dying a sad death. After about 6 months of grieving I decided to clean the ever loving crap out of the tank and set it back up! Loose (ish) equipment list reused most of my equipment that’s been getting it done for 2years or so:
Pumps,
Ice cap 3k gyre
1 knock off koralia and 2 no name Chinese 2kish gph (wifey gave me the go ahead to buy wp40s when taxes come in!!)
Eheim 2500? Return pump
Aqua Excel ec-20 protein skimmer
Lights 2 Kessil a360 Tuna Blues
BRS carbon and GFO reactor
Sump will be full of my extra 100ish lbs of live rock, skimmer, return, and heaters until it’s aged to the point of getting fancier with reactors and dosers. Here’s a pic from tonight after cleaning the glass again/water addition and am down to only needing about 30 more gallons till I can start circulating and really start my cycle!!! And of course any suggestions from y’all would be greatly appreciated! I know enough to definitely be dangerous but learned long ago to greatfully take advice when its sent my way lol.
