cymaster007 Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 Finally finished moving in and getting the 225g full of water to finish cycling. Hope all my old apex gear, pumps, lights, etc still work. I've lost some space under the tank as I don't have a remote sump anymore. I am still on the fence about the ato/mixing station I made as I could use the space for the CaRx and some other gear. I'll run kalkwasser for a while and see how it goes. I need to paint the skin and redo the canopy. Should take a weekend or two at the most. Big thanks to Cuttlefish and Corals for helping me test for ammonia and dial in my Refractometer this weekend!! I've got a pretty lengthy restocking list so I hope some sps enthusiasts are in the Portland area!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cymaster007 Posted July 14, 2022 Author Share Posted July 14, 2022 Was able to get some clean up crew, a gyre controller, and a few fish in thanks to Cuttlefish & Corals. Got the new CaRx up and running as well 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm super excited to restock my Sps collection, I can't belive the collections some of the local reef keepers have up here! Most of the equipment plugged right in and fired up without skipping a beat from the last configuration. I've got the lights up again and I'm repainting the canopy and stand skin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s at Golden Basket and he has quite a selection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cymaster007 Posted December 24, 2023 Author Share Posted December 24, 2023 Update, tank did well and we actually moved everything successfully up to West Linn with the help of the Cuttlefish and Corals crew! Starting to try and meet other local reefers again now that we aren't way down south! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oelyk Posted December 25, 2023 Share Posted December 25, 2023 Looks amazing! What kind of camera do you use to get that level of quality? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just my Samsung ultra phone camera. I did get a new orange gel filter to help balance out the blues and white balance. For macro coral shots I use a tamron 90mm macro lens and a Canon rebel camera. Edited December 26, 2023 by cymaster007 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
