Bacon’s 160g peninsula build

The tank transfer was a total failed. Only things survived are a hammer colony and my Black Widdows anemones. Snd half of the fishes.

Just a sad update on my build. My tank came in so i was ready to pick it up. Before i take it home, i transfered all my livestocks to a 150g rubbermaid. Within several hours the entire system crashed in the rubbermaid. I suspected that 1 or 2 colony wasnt doing well and RTN in the holding container and caused an infection.

I am sorry to see such a loss. I know having a loss like this can make some want to quit the hobby. Are you going to carry on with the new build?

Sorry to read this B.
Transfers are easy to talk about but the smallest issue can cause a lot of trouble.
I am glad you will continue. You could see it as a fresh start.

If we would have been a little closer, I'll gladly provided you some corals to start up again.

How is the scape of the new tank?

Thanks for the support. The scApe pix i postEd at the very begining. I’ll up date when it’s in the tank. Still working on fixing some branches. I used the macro-400 or whatever they call it to bond the rocks. Its a waste of money, my rocks starting to fall apart after sitting in a holding container for a month or so

Just a little update on the build. Went and got some steels bar from home depot to build my T5 lighting bracket. Cut and welded and getting ready for paint.
Was never a fan of hanging my light fixture and i have high ceiling so its impossible anyways. I design this to go with the clean look of a rimless.

Got some time to painted the t5 bracket and finally mounted to the stand. Didnt feel like spending another $1k on a 60” t5 so i use my old 48”. Work out pretty well with two reefbrite xho
 
My build progress is kinda slow due to my little one. To keep the juice going, i want to share my rock flower anemone garden for the time being. Fell inlove with rock anemone after my tank crashed so i decided tk put together a garden for the new build. Enjoy
