Emerald525 Posted May 14, 2017 Author Share Posted May 14, 2017 Those of you who know me. I don't do plumbing! I have no desire in learning and I don't enjoy it like many of you do. But guess what , Sirena loves plumbing !!? The tank came plumbed but it had to be cut to move. Jon aka Wegotjs on here is a great handyman and he walked Sirena through. We are lucky to be walking distance from a True Value and as any of you know who plumbs a tank , even with the best of planning , you make at least one or 2 more trips !! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emerald525 Posted May 14, 2017 Author Share Posted May 14, 2017 I have been waiting patiently for the light which was what was holding up the project !! Thanks Cuttlefish for ordering this for me!! it should be a short cycle as I got free live rock from Blue Z Reef and got s smoking deal on more from Powderblue. I also had some in my sump on my Red Sea Reefer. i am planning on adding an algae turf scrubber when the tank is up and running. I also added Dr, Tims one and only denitrifying bacteria. I have had good results with this speeding up the cycling process. Bulb combo will likely be: blue plus blue plus coral plus blue plus actinic purple plus If you have questions about ideal bulb combos for T5 lights check out ATI on reef2reef!! Here it is !! Thanks Sirena for all the great work! She hung the light and hooked up the ATO all by herself while I was on my morning run! It needs to be leveled a bit but a few shims will take care of that. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sirena Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 Sump skimmer the usual ![emoji3]Some sump amazingness!!! And some super annoying cords lol.

MrBret Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 Awesome !! Fragging and growing out coral is always fun. Especially zoanthids I do miss the old zoa frag sales you would do, I can see in a few months they will come roaring back. Nice job on everything ladies! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
albertareef Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 I was wondering how the frag tank was going- congrats on getting it up and running. Somehow I missed that this was Randall's 60 gallon shallow reef... one of my favorites. Glad to see it lives again. May it grow healthy frags in abundance! nice plumbing Sirena ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is not Randall's but same tank. It was Blue Z Reef's. I didn't think about making it a frag tank when Randall was selling it but is perfect for a frag tank.

Not like it was written right in the first post or anything (had to find an excuse to use that emoji). Every time I see those tank dimensions I think of Randall's tank, didn't realize Jeff had one also. Super cool tank profile and should be great for frags while still letting you put some things like zoa rocks in there that might be a bit taller. Can't wait to see this filled up!

I think you were just looking at the pictures! It won't take long for it to fill up. I have 5 frag racks full in my Red Sea Reefer right now! I can't wait to get most of them out! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
