Jgraz's Finally a Proper Tank 90 Upgrade

[jgraz]

Started the new sump today. I'll finish up the baffles tomorrow. Hopefully I'll get things installed by the end of next week.

this was my 40 breeder sump just some pics to look at

 

[jgraz]

Sump complete. Should be in service later this week.

Also since the skimmer section is deeper I needed a stand so here you go.

 

[jgraz]

New sump online. Took forever. But I'm very happy with the outcome. Ultimately it added about 10 more gals to my system. Total volume is right around 29 gals. The refugium is just over 15 gals.

Nice looking reef.

Went to AO today for the anniversary sale. New additions, tiny maxima bad pic though

Yellow tang. Currently in my Qt/frag tank. The tank is only 20h so I just keep an eye on him for a couple of weeks so I can get him into the bigger tank.

I wanted so much more but I'm trying to at least keep a bit for the swap.

First time going to the frag swap? Prepare to spend alot of money buddy lol. Your going to enjoy it.

I went last year also. Only problem is this sump me back some. I'm not gonna have as much as I want to spend. Which might just be a good thing.

I went last year also. Only problem is this dumpster me back some. I'm not gonna have as much as I want to spend. Which might just be a good thing.

Oh alright buddy have fun

 

[jgraz]

Ha, stupid auto correct. How does it come up with dumpster when I type sump. Nice, makes me sound like an idiot

Just thought I would add a few tank shots since its been a while. I have also been considering starting bio pellets soon. Just have to decide on a reactor. Im currently between the Reef Octopus and the JNS reactors. For the media I'm leaning towards Eco-Bak. Almost everything is doing well. I have added 3 bangaii's about 4 days ago. They were all doing well but today I noticed that 1 got pretty beat up. The right side of the fish looks bad. He is swimming fine but the eye and gill area clearly took a beating. Im pretty sure the culprit is the yellow tang. Only problem is there is no way im getting it out. So hopefully he heals up. I borrowed my Brother in laws camera and figured I could get some nice pics but That thing have too much going on. I think I'll stick with my i-Phone. Anyway here are the tank shots.

Keep up the great work!

Been a while since I updated so here goes. Santa brought me a reef octopus bio reactor, a pair of BRS dosing pumps and a new set of T5 bulbs. The bulbs are getting switched already but the other have to wait till I build a cabinet for next to the stand where I will house all the equipment. I also purchased a rio HF32 pump to run everthing. Here are some updated shots, all with an iPhone so not the greatest

[jgraz]

Heres a few more shots

Anyone got an ID on this

 

[yogi]

Really nice

 

[jgraz]

Few changes today.
New pump: Rio HyperFlow32

Manifold installed. Had to go with my first design due to space constraints.

Split my BRS dual. With the upcoming start of bio pellets I'm hoping to not need GFO so I'll only need one.

Coming soon are the pellets and a cabinet for the electrical and ATO next to stand

 

[jgraz]

Bio pellet reactor in it temporary spot. When I add to the volume I might have a different are that I will put it.

Question those pellets that are above the other seem to be stuck to the tube will they be fine. I've shaken thing as much as I can a some of them just won't come down.
