New tank has been set up since 5/28, transfer went great, tank looks great. Holding my breathe...... Originally thinking of adding 4-5 more fish, but everything is going so good, now thinking just 2, a algae blenny and a mimic tang. Meh, we'll see, I'm in no rush!

The tank will be fine in the nursery until your son gets out of his crib and into a bed. If your interested, I have a white IM16 in storage downstairs, PM me if your interested.

Love your getting back into the hobby. Missed your posts! Good luck with the new tank!

That is unique! Why did he stop making them? I really want one! lol

Set up looks awesome! Love to hear more about that overflow cover...and maybe a better pic, please?

No, I'm going to sell the tank and stand. I'm almost done with the upgrade, hoping to finish it this weekend. Didn't do a build thread, just didn't have the time.....

DO IT!

Wow it's been over a year, tank is chugging along. Traded away my two clowns and the Mystery Wrasse, bought 2 Wyoming Whites (I've wanted these clowns since they first came out at 6K a pair!) and a McCoskers Wrasse from Marcos and a Coral Beauty from Divers Den, kept the original Cardinalfish, added a few more corals, finally got an Elegance to live. I have also for the past 4 months been fighting a major battle with algae, bubble, hair and byropsis. Vibrant and Fluconazole have almost got it all gone! It's been almost 4 years since I've completed a build, fw or sw, decided it was time, I'm upgrading this reef to a DP80g. I plan on starting an upgrade thread (can you say steel stand....so excited!). Of course it started out as I'll just move all the current equip over, everyone knows that is not what realllllyyyy happens! Below is a crappy iphone pic of the current reef.

Well, I have to say this weekend this treatment turned the corner, the HA on my sand bed is much lighter in color, is not as thick as it was before my last wc and I believe is receding. I should do a WC on Weds or Thurs this week. I think I should do another dose of the fluconazole but hesitate as I'm concerned about going yet another 2 weeks with my ps turned down to really not working. Thoughts?

By the time I did the fluconazole treatment, I had already raised my Mg and had been using Vibrant for a few months, there is no HA or Byropsis on my rock. The algae I have left is on the sand bed.

It's been over a week since I treated my 60g, it doesn't seem to be working on the sand bed.

and..........

Ok, treatment completed. Carbon out, PS dialed wayyyyyyy down, PS cup off (and cleaned, yuk!), GFO left on, meds dissolved in tank water and poured directly in front of gyre 130, tank cloudy. I'll report back in a few. Thanks all!

Thanks Zy.......
