The Deezill Reef 210

[Deezill]

One would think I would finish off my basement then the tank. NOPE. I'm refinishing around my tank.
lol

Turned on lights just this one time. They will not officially come on for another month or two. I wanted to snap a shot since I was able to get two fish out of QT with slightly above therapeutic levels of copper. Fish went in copper October 07 and transferred out on December 07 into a tank with no meds just for observation and taken out on January 18, not to bad of a QT process IMO. I would not try such high copper levels with any other fish but tangs just need prophylactic treatment.

I tried to add gel filter.

I really like the ATO!

 

[Deezill]

Eventually, I will get an ATO. But right now I am not too worried about it. There is no coral in the tank and I don't even turn on the lights. I am going to try to let the tank stabilize for a few months before turning on lights and putting coral in.
The cycle finished on January 14, 2020, and I am just patiently waiting. I might turn the light on in march.

Ok quick update. All 25 fish are living in harmony. I can't find my six-line wrasse so he was never moved over from my 150. I built a canopy this weekend Started on Friday and got it up on the tank this morning. I used 3/4 birch plywood which was 60 bucks per sheet. I think that is still better than buying a canopy from the store. The canopy is built with a golden oak stain and three coats of waterproof sealant. I still have to make the facade to hide the sump area but I am in no rush. I will be using the same wood and stain color. Here are a few pics of my hard labor. I got a chance to use my Miter saw YAAAY Please excuse the blues, I promise I will buy a DSLR camera soon....... well after I get some coral in the tank which is the next phase of this project after I purchase me a PAR meter to see the par in the tank to let me know how much intensity the Radion G4 PRO's will need. The lights
are 9 inches off the water.

 

[Deezill]

if I posted a duplicate pic so what act like you like it and give it a thumbs up. I will put the doors on later. I enjoy the view as of right now. There is not too much light spillage so whatever.

Looking good.

 

[Deezill]

So I purchased myself a par meter and I took PAR reading today. I have 5 frags coming in on Tuesday so I wanted to know what the PAR was in the tank. Not to bad though I do have a hot spot. I am sure with slow acclimation I can get something to sit on a 400 PAR rock. I noticed anything 160 and lower is in a shaded area which is ok for those LPS type coral which I don't plan on keeping many. Check below. The Radion G4 Pro's are 8.5 inches off the water and running at 50% with the AB+ program.

 

[Deezill]

Well, I guess I will need a bigger OPS Board. Only then will I do some cable management lol.
What you don't see is there are 2 other MP40's mounted on the tank but coords not long enough to get to the Ops Panel.

So today I got a delivery and I feel like I have been inducted into this exclusive club. I feel like the luckiest guy in the world. I am finally the proud owner of........

 

[Deezill]

I got a notice on Wednesday at 1:23AM. I just so happen to be awake studying for finals. I checked my email and it said.........




I thought about it for a a very long time. By 1:45AM i had purchased. Apparently I also got the last or maybe only 2 month supply they had because it said out of stock after I purchased. By 8AM they were out of stock with the trident. The old adage good things come to those who wait finally pays off. I am happy. I love one-day shipping with these guys

Will do

How are the Talbots doing? Any aggression with them?

 

[Deezill]

Yes there is 1 out of the 10 who will chase all the others if they come near his space. What's his space you ask? Any area he is. I am getting ready to order 10 electric Blue soon. I am waiting on the price to drop back down to normal.
