Hey guys,


I'm new to the hobby and love it. Here are some shots of my tanks progression.

Welcome.

Your tank looks great, pretty good for 6 months.

Ya at first I set it up with LR and fish and only had an undercounter make shift LED. Then I purchased fluval marine led's. Obviously a better choice hahaha

 

[melypr1985]

ah ha! That's what I was seeing. It looks pretty great for being so new! I'm sure it will only get better!

Nice job! how did you set up you hang on back filter? (or is that an overflow box?)

 

[guy fawkes]

Thank you. I just put my old filter with some hexagon looking stuff I can't remember the name. Thank you for the complements. I'm loving this hobby

So I bought another house, had to move my tank. So I was fortunate to get this new tank for free. Lost some stuff in the tank during the move

Welcome to R2R. Nice progress in 6 month

 

[guy fawkes]

Thanks all. Well the last pic is a mix. I added the contents of my 30g. To this 100g. I added live rock I bought of kijiji for cheap. Was very clean and properly stored. Also bought most of my coral as well.

So basically I moved the 30g from my old house to the new houses garage. Then got this tank here

I'm currently building a sump/refugium. I'm by no means handy so this won't be pretty.

I bought that torch and hammer coral for 60$. That's a steal in this area.

I'm having a bit of green algae at the bottom as you can see. Beefed up my CUC and didn't help much. Playing around with the amounts of food.
