Red sea reefer 170 build

[Roy 750xxl]

Moving tanks and setting them back up seems to be case by case scenario.

I have never done it. But it appears you did everything well.

It may go through a short cycle on its own due to any potential die off from the move.

Have you tested for ammonia, nitrite, nitrate a couple times?

Not sure you need to do any dosing as not to much there yet to demand it.

Have you tested for alk and calcium to see if there is any drop off daily?

Are there any fish in it yet?

Lots of questions to help with answers!

Holy moly donut shop !!!

The alk and cal was a question for the 750 as I'm dosing that one manullay I test every 3 days is when I see things dropping off
Cal is usually at 460 480
Alk 9.5 -8.9 the lowest
Mg 1350 -1440

The 170 been running for two days no test yet no fish just rock and sand I've also kept the light off and letting it sit adding MB7 that's about it will prob test today

Lol this is my 3rd tank move or maybe 4th lmfaoooo lost track already
It all started with the 70 bow front
Then 150 then from the 150 to the 200 red sea now the 170

Sorry about that! I thought you were asking about the 170!

No worries I said keeping up with two tanks was gonna be a hand full lol .... might just put a doser on the 170 and eventually the 750 as well that easy I only have to deal with dosing more everytime I introduce coral

Also the rock scape is not done I just laid the rock in there cause the water was too cloudy to see what was going on. Installed the mp10 and got the flow moving around to flush out and clean the sand of detritus. So far tanks looking great will be adding some fish soon enough when I make sure theres no ammonia and nitrite

Looking good. Current rock layout has a lot of potential.

Yes it does ! Will start working on it soon been busy buying Coral and trying to get the 750 to look a little more full so far it's looking pretty good happy with the pieces I've added. Does anyone know how long it takes for the corals to start encrusting and really start to take off ?

No set time. Some of my SPS were encrusting right away within a couple of weeks (a Bonsai valida and a Millepora). Others took a couple of months. So many variables.
