187g, My take on a modern reef

[Forshurley]

Got a sweet sump set up from advanced acrylics for the new build!

 

[Forshurley]

Did some plumbing and wiring this month, will take some pictures soon and add them

Plus lights ordered!

 

[Forshurley]

little update and first attempt of aquascaping, we will see what it looks liek after 100 more do overs, haha

 

[Forshurley]

Quick updates on tank, got my lights in and started to assemble but need to figure out how I am going to hang the lights. Need longer suspension cables to hang from vaulted ceilings. will be adding my radions from old tank to this stellar gieseman hybrid unit.

 

[Forshurley]

Wire management...Just missing my doser's but I am not installing tell I break down old tank.

 

[Forshurley]

My plumbing... I bet some wont like how I planed it out. I have cor-20 pulling a closed looped system and returned by three returns, then 1 return is from the sump. This way I can have high flow in tank and low flow through sump.

Overall look of the tank, so close to getting wet.

aquascape V2.0

 

[Forshurley]

Hung the lights... getting a little closer to getting tank wet!

 

[Forshurley]

Tank is getting wet today!

 

[Forshurley]

Decided to do a 30 day black out cycle, we will see how it works.

 

[Forshurley]

Tank is out of black out cycle and 1 month old now.

 

[Forshurley]

Added some Helix and turning on lights 4 hours a day.
Also added some reef nutrition tiger-pods.

 

[Forshurley]

Ordered some fish from marine collectors. I ordered Achilles tang, Purple tang and Powder blue tang.

I plan on mixing them with my current stock in 120 which is 3 lyretail Anthias , 2 purple queen anthias, kole tang, 2 yellow tangs, chocolate tang, midas blenny and 2 clown fish. So 7 tangs will be in the tank but will be added all the same time. Hoping everyone plays nice : )

 

[Forshurley]

Just added fish to the tank, check it out Tang Gang

Would love to hear your experience using the helix? Been wondering how effective this stuff is

This is tank as of today , got fish in tank from marine collectors combined with my old stock. I have a couple specs of ick on 2 fish.... praying I can manage but might have to figure out a fallow situation.
