NoobtoSalt Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 Well I picked up about 80-100lbs of live rock tonight for the new tank.(clap) I'm planning on picking up the tank on Monday. It's a tank that has been running for quite sometime now so it should be an easy transition but I plan on keeping the 75 gallon running for a few extra weeks to ensure that all the water parameters are fine. Still trying to decide where I'm going to put all the tanks currently. I've got lots of ideas and just can't wait till I get the tank moved in. As always there will be some pretty poor quality pictures for your enjoyment that will follow once the tank setup is complete...(laugh) I also just realized that this will be my 6th saltwater tank in a year. What the heck is wrong with me? (scratch) After this is all said and done the 75 will come down and be put up for sale, which will leave me with Andrew's 29 biocube, the 27 Marineland Frag tank, and the new 120 build!

Smann Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 I think you need to do a 250 or 300 and call it good!, one tank, tank room, 100 gal sump/fuge/frag tank, just think only one tank to clean and water change!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the next house is a whole different story... But I would still have two tanks. I couldn't break down my sons' tank completely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you need some help, I'll be done with work around 2 and could lend a hand. Lemme know![/quote'] Thanks for the offer but we got it in the house and running just a bit ago. I don't have the fish, rock or reef keeper but everything else was moved over in the transition. I purchased about 100 lbs or rock the other day from Jay R (really nice guy btw) and I still have about 75-100lbs from my other tank. Pictures to come but waiting for the tank to clear up a bit before that happens. Thanks again goes out to Robert (Reefit) for not only hooking me up with a great deal but also spending most of the day today getting this moved! Here is a thread of when Robert had the tank setup. http://www.pnwmas.org/forums/showthread.php?19525-120-Gallon-Reef-Build. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReeFit Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 You got alot of work ahead of you bro its looking good though. Did you test any of the water yet? I would be curious to see what the nitrates are after disturbing a 3+" sandbed and fuge. Let me know if you need anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoobtoSalt Posted February 22, 2011 Author Share Posted February 22, 2011 Just tested the water before I left for work. Nitrates were at 20 ppm. I figured it would gave been much higher. Going to do a water change in the next few days Sent from my SCH-I500 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoobtoSalt Posted February 23, 2011 Author Share Posted February 23, 2011 Just added about another 30 lbs or rock. Still have quite a bit to add. Not sure how I want to aquascape the tank yet. Maybe one of these days I can toss a frag to someone that will come and help out with that... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
