JBJ45 AIO gets upgrade to Reefer 350

[PoorPluto]

This is the start of our upgrade from a JBJ 45 AIO to a Red Sea Reefer 350 (73g) tank. Boxes dropped off this evening so we spent the last 4 hours putting it together and making sure it was level. Get he sump in and setup how we think it’ll run.

Added new sand (and 2 cups from our old tank) and live rock from our previous tank with some power heads. Have to wait for the LFS to deliver water tomorrow.

Made one mistake we are now paying for...put the tank too close to the wall that the light arms won’t fit so...taking the water back out to move the tank forward 2 inches [emoji24][emoji23][emoji24]

Finally got our AP700 tonight. Immediately put it up on the mounting arms. Looking through the app and turning on and off via WiFi is awesome!

Skimmer is going nice and getting a bunch of funk out. Had our mini cycle over the weekend (2days) and we’re able to put our corals back in on Sunday.

No scaping has happened yet. Have our old rock from our 45g in there now while we get setup. Adding more rock this weekend.
