Emerald525 Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 The passion has been reignited ! I’m going to set up the grandkids tank but have bigger plans of a fish room. The new house has this awesome second garage area and perfect area for a fish room! Thanks @CuttleFishandCoral. I was going to go bare bottom but read denitrifying bacteria will grow faster with more substrate so he saved a bag for me! @Wegotjs helped me (okay actually did it all) set up the RODI unit and water is going ! By the way when I was there Jeff had quite the shipment come in of cool fish like Yashi gobies ( great Nano fish you can pair with a shrimp) Ruby red dragonets and mini mystery wrasses as well and a possum wrasse. Good thing my tank wasn’t up yet or I may have bought them all lol. Stay tuned !! 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuncrestReef Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 Woo Hoo!!! Congrats! When you mentioned earlier about picking up a bag of sand I was about to ask if you had a new tank. I'm so jealous of the fish room potential. I really hope I can revisit my big plans for a house addition to add a fish room. For now, I'll be watching for your build updates. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your mixing station inspired me. My hope is to make maintenance as easy as possible so I don’t burn out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let me know if you might be in the market for a slightly used 24 gallon sump in the near future. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My goal is to make things as low maintenance as possible so I don’t get burned out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really, I think there is a saying in English language “no replacement for displacement “ I am Looking into building a new house so I can have a huge peninsula in the middle and a dedicated fish room like the last house I use to I have . But we are old timers I guess 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You and madmike were a gold mine of goodies . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
titus'reef Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 That’s awesome 👏! It’s a good trend. Once you get a test of it, is hard not to get back. I was out for 4+ years too, but keeps some equipment for just in case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always buy a new heater because I don’t trust them in a new tank. I kept this monster of DI canister . Let there be water : 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
