Waterbox 220.6 Upgrade

LgTas · Jul 10, 2023

Combining a WB 90.3 and 60.2 into a single 220.6.
As I do with all my systems, aiming for no mechanical filtration and using a Caulerpa dominated fuge (with a few macro algae odds and ends I collect locally).
There will be ups and downs but I'm looking forward to the journey.

Setup took 6 people to move the tank but otherwise uneventful.

Scape took a few days to put together and a few hiccups with arches snapping mid build. Idea is to have a focus centre piece with my current setup rock filling gaps in the corners etc. Left over mature rock on existing setup will go in to sump fuge.

Ordered 2 x Jebao EOW-22 for circulation.
Added 5 x Neopomacentrus azysron and started moving live rock from my other sumps into the new system. Looking to move both tanks over this weekend.
