CaptJackalope89 Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 Good luck with the upgrade! I am also in the process of upgrading from a 110 (48x18x30) to a 180 (4x2x2). How did you like your 180? Im also up in WA, out near Belfair... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How did you like your 180? Im also up in WA, out near Belfair... I liked the 180 a lot. A few of my tangs are getting a little big. I also have a pair of crosshatch triggers.They are in Qt until my 300 is up and running. Starting tomorrow at noon I hope everything goes smooth. Planing for about 12hrs total time to do the job Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

albertareef Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 Congrats on the new tank (is that Frank's?). Would love to have something that size but no where to put it. Looking forward to seeing this up and running - and the crosshatch triggers, those are beautiful fish! Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emerald525 Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 Thanks for the pictures. I had a gold dwarf eel and loved it it was in my Nuvo 20. It will be nice to see the progression of your new tank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chriscarper_21 Posted November 3, 2016 Author Share Posted November 3, 2016 Where's the tank at? You mentioned something about a club. The tank is at Samena swim club in Bellevue. Unfortunately I lost over 1000$ worth coral. The eheim jager heater was set for 77 degrees. It never turned off got up to 86 degrees. Killed most my SPS and 40+ heads of my LPS. Here are some new pics and video. Luckily I didn't loose any fish. Also upgrade my sump to a 120 gallon and bought a new skimmer. I redid all the plumbing so I can take it apart to pull the sump in and out of the stand. The inside of tank had boxes in it when picked up from Franks. Unfortunately this scratched the tank pretty bad Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
