debben69's red sea max 130d build

[debben69]

Count me in! I picked this red sea max 130d up used and a fellow reefer from my local club referred me to the site and the contest. Timing is perfect! Here is a pic as I'm cleaning it out from the previous owner.

Welcome to Reef2Reef, nice looking tank! Be sure to get in on the membership drive contest as well!

Thanks guys and gals! cdness is actually the one who refered me to this site and contest. I'm planning on setting the tank into place tonight and I hope to have sand, water from my display tank, and dried tonga branch I've been cureing for about a month now in by the end of next week!

 

[debben69]

Egg crate base.

20 gallons from my display and live sand. Since the start is 3 weeks away I choose not to rinse the sand and waste bacteria.

Added my live rock from my DT with my BTA attached and 17 heads of zoas. That and a 7 head frag of a different kind of zoa. I'm waiting for the nem to move and settle in before I add more coral. So that at market value puts me at $98 in livestock. Also the rock the nem is on will be rotated when he moves.

Looking really good. Can't wait to see what else you add.

Hey loving the aquascape. Pretty cool the livestock so far has been captive propagated from locals!

Keep the pictures coming!

 

[debben69]

I set the frags in place and added 2 black and white clowns. I also ordered new bulbs and an overflow kit.

 

[BarbH]

The build is looking great and nice looking clowns.

 

[debben69]

Thanks!
