Hey All,
So i promised some other reefers that i would start a thread on my new build after i tore down my 120 Gallon Mixed Reef. As i start the journey again from scratch i by no means am an expert. I am simply a guy who loves the hobby and im constantly learning from others. So far it has been more good than bad. I have had tank crashes due to switching to GFO from Chemi-Pure Elite and lost 70% of livestock a couple years ago. As well as my recent crash to my 50 Gallon Frag Tank Crashing due to bad Catalina water i bought from a LFS (no choice). Which then i lost 95 percent of all my coral, SPS, LPS, and Softies including a newly acquired Bounce that was my wifes favorite. I had moved all of my livestock from my 120 gallon to my 50 Gallon Frag tank as a stage until i got my newly acquired 110 Gallon tank. So why the smaller tank you ask? Well the reason why i i went from a 48x24x24 which originally was my ideal setup. But, the tank had more depth 24" and was only able to see the front part of the tank and i was only really utilizing maybe half of the tanks visual part. Not to mention the tank and stand was almost 6.5 feet tall and was taking up more space in our dinning room than i wanted. So i decided to sell my tank and start over with a longer 5 foot tank and not as deep 18". Currently i am dealing with a small Return Bulkhead grommet seal leak which i will be fixing tonight.
My Setup and Equipment:
110 Gallon Tank 60"x18x25
2 XR30 Radions
2 RW40 Jebao Power Heads (will be upgrading to MP40's soon)
1 Jebao DC 1200 Return Pump
1 Apex Jr
1 ATB 840 Protein Skimmer
1 (Arriving Soon Reef Link)
1 30 Gallon Red Ruby Trigger Sump
1 Eheim 200 watt Heater (will order a second one later)
1 Jebao DC4 Dosing Pump
40 lbs Real Reef Rock with some Live Rock to help seed
12 Lbs Branch Real Reef Rock
Currently working on:
Fixing the small drip Leak from the return bulkhead from a screwed Fixture to a Slip Fixture.
Electrical Compartment that will be flushed mounted under a small day seat and hidden
Once im done with those its will be time to Re-Stock My Tank! Wooooohoooo
Painted the stand from Black to White
