We are cycled baby! I am going to start the transfer tonight or sometime this week.

Coral transfer went off without a hitch!

I'm off to eat dinner but I'll give a more detailed update after.

Here is a FTS. Right hand side is a bit closed up because I just rearranged the rock.

Looks great

Awesome!

 

[ReeferReefer]

Here are a few morning shots. No casualties so far.

 

[ReeferReefer]

Here are my nems. Seem to be getting settled. The little one is on the wrong side though lol. He moved the day of the transfer onto my shelf rock so I'm just letting him do his thing.

A few more pics from tonight.

The tank is looking good and the nems look like they settled in nicely.

Thanks!

One of the smaller BTAs split last night. Must have been stressed by the move. Hopefully they are not too stressed.

A few more pics.

The btas have claimed as high as they can. I'll try turning up the lights slowly.

Makes for some cool top down shots though.

Toadstool looks like he wants to shed.

 

[ReeferReefer]

My Toadstool is back to normal today. It shed like I thought and has some polyp extension today. I'm happy to see that my prized coral is doing fine.

I got it 4 years ago when it was a bit wider than a cantaloupe. It's the size of a dinner plate now.

Listed my 90 gallon and the extra equipment from it last night. Sad to see it go but excited for my new journey with the Nuvo.

Here is a pic of the 90 when it was running.

Updated FTS

I got the fuge basket in so here is a shot of my current fuge set up. It might need more light. I have it running 24/7.

Nice! The fuge basket runs in the second chamber correct? The one between the chambers that have the overflows and the middle return chamber?

I wonder if I could take out the middle divider of one of my media baskets and run floss in the first section and then make the rest of it a fuge basket running in the first chamber... I have a skimmer and a reactor in the second chamber right now (one on each side) so modifying one of my media baskets to turn it into a fuge compartment was my thinking.

Yeah, it runs in the second chamber. You could easily use the media basket as a fuge. I'm just running carbon and purigen in the media baskets since I'm not using a reactor.
