tigerv503 Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 Nice looking tank from Envision and setup but might want to upgrade the skimmer. FYI, i had a Bubble Max a while back not reliable! Vin "Keep On Reefing" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hozer21 Posted May 12, 2011 Author Share Posted May 12, 2011 So here is an update on the tank. I have put 20 gallons of fresh ro/di water in the tank and I have done a 25 gallon water change in my 90 gallon and have put it in the cube as well I figured it could hurt anything if I did it that way. I will post some pics later and yes I have put salt , pump , & heater in the cube to keep the water moving around and nice and warm so when I start to moving my rock and what not in to the new tank it won't be much of a shock. If there is any other things I need to do before I do this please let me know. Ok so I got 60 lbs of new sand to stick in my tank yesterday and a couple nice flat pieces of live rock to put in my tank. Thank you OIAB for the nice deal on these items & for you people that would like to know about the sand it's nice white sand (45 lbs or so & 20 lbs of a all ready seeded sand) I figured that I could use some of my old sand and put some nicer sand mixed in with it.

Put in your rock and top off the tank and sump with water from your old tank... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Put in your rock and top off the tank and sump with water from your old tank...

reefnjunkie Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 Good luck with the move-I know it was an anxious time for me. Are you going to move it all at one time or over the course of a few days etc? If it is over period of time watch your salinty as you take stuff out, I kept track of water I took out but miscalculted the volume for the live rock, my SG dropped to 1.023 which I didnt think was bad but my original strawberry shortcake acro melted over night, and that is what I felt was the cause-it was the only thing "new" Anyway looking good-Hope all goes well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
