330 gallon 10+ year dream tank!

[chizerbunoi]

It’s hard to get help especially with another lock down in our near future. I tried to get a 220 delivered to my basement and it would have costed 4 movers at 2 hrs each. Might as well have the tank custom built in my basement at that price as it’s only $600 to have it built onsite.

I like smaller tanks as it’s easier to deal with when moving.

Sorry to hear about your set backs, and I agree that its a lot of work renovating a basement. And those projects do add up. Hopefully you take time to enjoy the family as well.

good luck.

That would’ve been a good idea. But @Joe Glass Cages is on the other side of the boarder haha

Well, my current tank “crashed” , lost all my fish except 2, the rabbit fish , and a clown fish.
Wife said they looked fine a few days ago and no signs of Ich or velvet.

death toll:
Powder blue tang
Sohal tang
Hippo tang
Lavender tang
Orchid dotty back
Bicolor blenny
Yellow watch man goby
Red fair wrasse
Chromis

She removed all my rock, and can’t find my powder blue tank, he was about 6 inches.

Oh man. Sorry to hear this. Do you know why? Alk change or nutrient spike from the move? We’re you running any type of carbon dose like bio pellets?

 

[chizerbunoi]

Oh I hope you used new sand in the transfer from old house to new. Do you need a place to store current live stock? I don’t know if my tank would be ideal for the rabbit fish due to all my anemones. But the clown might find heaven.

 

[RJKain-777]

Probably a nutrient spike from the move. My tanks super simple. Refugium, skimmer, heater and return pump.

 

[RJKain-777]

Well I got some great news! Construction on the basement has begun. Tank is still in the garage until December 8th, and I have a moving company coming in to move the tank. I’m pretty excited to be honest!

 

[RJKain-777]

Well it’s like Christmas I suppose! Wanted the red dragon 3 but wife Drew the line at a $1300 pump, so the vectra L2 will do!

 

[RJKain-777]

Double early Christmas! Local reefer was selling 4 mitra lx6100 lights for a whopping $500! Plus, got 2 more MP40 and a MP10.

The apex is controlling the ATO with the FMM and optical sensors.
Going with aqua forest reef salt

Good call on the UV

Hanging dry wall now!

 

[JoshH]

Hanging dry wall now!

Remember if you're hanging horizontally to stagger the Butts, or are you doing it vertical to save some coating?

 

[RJKain-777]

Making progress on the basement, coming along pretty nicely.

 

[chizerbunoi]

I remember doing the drywall. That wasn't bad. It was all the plaster and sanding that sucked. lol

Plans for a fish room?
