Starting fresh

[cale0721]

And we are wet again! Cycle has started.

Slowly getting the sump area organized. Temporary sock while the water clears from the sand.

Looks so clean and purty.

And it's nice to see that the octopus and turtle are safe and sound.

I like the changes you made to the rock work

 

[Joshua Hurst]

Are you selling anything from your old tank? I love that aquascape!

 

[Zoarium]

Looking good! What are you using to cycle?

This right here says it all for the work you have done Caleb!

Josh - this IS his old tank. Just got a makeover.

Like the new stand

 

[Reefrookie220]

Man I really, really like the scape, honestly I may steal the big "monolith" on the far right lol.

Thanks guys! I'm really excited to get this tank up! My coral selection for this tank will be more picky. Sps dominated for sure.

I can relate with "more picky". Chris gave me that advice recently. It has inspired me to make some changes. Looking forward to seeing this progress.

Every new setup will bring changes that you would do in the next one. You always learn in every time you setup.

Using microbactor 7 and ammonia chloride to cycle the tank.

Don't get trapped in the high end frag game, it can be very hard to recoup your investment. OTOH, ditch the aggressive encrusting months and stick with what you like.

Setting closer! Tuesday I dosed enough ammonia chloride to bring the tank to 2ppm. Today this is the reading ...

I tested everyday and today is the first test where I can see a noticeable difference.

Also Kinny at Parrott aquatics got my lights mounted in the canopy today! Huge thanks to him bc my diy skills can be limited.

Hey @cale0721 , how do you adjust your lights with them that snug... Sorry if it's an obvious question lol

Remote or the knob on the side of light.

I assume you mean adjust light intensity then yeah knob is on the side and there is a remote. If you're talking about physically moving, two over my 75 fit perfectly with no reason to move them.
