TheGrimmReefer's rimless 120g Showcase Thread

Finally moved the acans back into the 120. Also, added 8 yellow bellied damsels. I really like the color and motion they add to the tank.

Man, I really missed having these acans in the tank. The small tank just didn't do them any justice.

It's the high growth setting, 10am - ON.. 1 hour ramp up to all colors at 100%, white at 60%. Overall intensity 60%. 8PM - 1 hour ramp down to blues for 1 hour, off at 10pm.

Wow, really no update since the floods.. well here goes:

August 14, 2016- South Louisiana floods and my home along with it. Had to drain the tank, among other things. Completely re did the house. FINALLY got the tank moved back inside. Let the restocking begin!

WOW! Sorry to hear about how the flood impacted you guys personally. Looking forward to watching the rebuild though.

Sorry you had to go through that. So many people were affected by that flood. Glad you have your home repaired and restarting the tank.

gettaReef · Jan 25, 2017

Oh NO! Sorry to hear about all the damage and having to tear down your setup, that SUCKS! Wishing you luck in getting this one rolling!

mixer911 · Jan 25, 2017

Get that thing setup!

TheGrimmReefer · Feb 17, 2017

Okay, guys and gals.. FINALLY, the tank is back up and starting to cycle. Almost 5 months to the day since the flood.

Some history, for those of you who don't know:
I broke down my 120g in June 2016 to move to my new home. Lost some livestock in the vat, built a new stand, and finally got the tank inside and set back up on August 12, 2016...
We all know what happened on August 14, 2016.. Flooded.

August-February 2017, rebuilt home and started working towards getting the tank back inside at some point. Luckily, my stand wasn't ruined in the flood and I just had to replace the bottom piece where the sump rests.

As of 2/16/17 the tank is fully up and running, starting to cycle!
