My New JBJ 45

ReefTankRebel · Mar 29, 2016

Hey, wanted to start a thread on my new tank.

Going to be moving in a couple weeks and and will be moving everything from my 90 gal from my house now to the JBJ which I'll be setting up at the new house soon. Here is my tank now.

Love it. I'm starting a new JBJ 45 myself on Wed. I have the stand up but it couldn't fit in my car so have to use the wife SUV. Already cycled my QT tank
Why are you dropping down? No room

Yea smaller house and the 90 gal is 36" deep, so I'm def looking forward to having a shallower tank for maintenance and light penetration.

Wow that is a deep tank. I wasn't aware they made tanks that small ( in gallons) that deep
Well I'll be happy to watch your build as I get started on mine today. I already have cured live rock (30 libs) 60 Lbs of live Fuji Pink. And the Red Sea reef mature pro kit to get things in gear. I also have a Apex controller from the freshwater, two Vortech MP10's, a uv sterilizer. Floating sand bed filter and assorted other stuff. But I know even with all that it will be awhile before I start adding fish to it. I have 2 clowns in my QT tank that have been quietly waiting and are good to go when the time comes to move them

Your setup sound nice. You doing a thread?

I have my tearing down of my freshwater. A pic of my QT ( with live rock and sand in it) and my built stand and that's it for now once I get the tank up then I will slowly add components ( like all the apex) while its cycling. Having a little bit of trouble carrying up to the second floor ( live in a eco nd floor condo - just large enough for that tank)

Will do. I picked this up today for a good deal off craigslist.

Been using tap water for the past couple years and getting away with it. But the new place has well water so I figured I should get it.

Very cool. I'll be following along
