Der ABT January 13, 2016 Share January 13, 2016 Been a while and time for an update So the 156 got the worlds worst……AEFW….from a clam I purchased…..all went down hill from there and with time constraints I was almost breaking the tank down. Somehow I still have corals and lots of algae growing but…was just hard…didn’t want to throw away giant infested colonies….you would be surprised how many are doing ok. Now ive moved back to Arlington and was going to move the 156 over and revamp….was talked into downsizing to the 80g I was planning for a frag tank…..kinda happy how it turned out so far…will be a little less work. Not sure on lighting yet….may be a MH on a light mover, may be t5 led combo….just not sure yet. Tank is 48x24 by like 17 or so. Here is the progress so far. Got the tank moved into the new office Not a fan of blue background and clear bottom....painted bottom white and took away the blue First Livestock SLOOOOW fill That’s its for now waiting for the fill and double checking plumbing etc then will start to transfer over what im keeping and getting rid of the rest…..didnt realize how much stuff ive accumulated over the years. Hopefully ill be able to keep this one lookin nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sethsolomon January 13, 2016 Share January 13, 2016 I see you already have 2 goofball fish in there :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Der ABT January 13, 2016 Author Share January 13, 2016 Yes will stay bare bottom..... Plan on going fish and zoas only for a while to make sure those worms are gone.....then will get back my stickhead reputation with a mainly sps tank with a few clams if all goes well So far she is filled up and will do a last plumbing test tonight. Then add salt aND some rock then fish... So far it will be Blue face angel Purple tang (this may change depending on rock work but it's one of the kids fav) Bartlett anthias Clowns Cleaner wrasse And will probably add a wrasse or two down the road to replace the jumpers I just lost last week...guess my screen wasn't sitting right. Will be powered by an avast cs1 Mp40 Avast reactors/ato/kalk stirrer Avast ca rx in due time Probably some d120 t5 mix for now in a canopy Avast auto water change Hopefully I'll get it all into a nice schedule and be much happier 3rd baby coming early February Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Der ABT January 14, 2016 Author Share January 14, 2016 She has water and no leaks....buuuut Holy cow I guess I got spoiled by how quiet the herbie was...this thing is loud Been too long since I've had just straight holes in back...any suggestions Or should I be ordering glass to make a box in back...which I'm leaning towards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom39 January 15, 2016 Share January 15, 2016 Definitely buy the glass and build the overflow box. Also, if it was me, I would swap out those white pvc elbows for some dark gray sch 80 fittings. Sent from my SCH-I435 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have to admit it looks Ghetto. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YHSublime February 19, 2016 Share February 19, 2016 Dude, congratulations! Let me know when you want to get rid of that blueface, I'll setup a tank for it alone! I'm around Arlington everyday these days, so if you ever need any help, just lmk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Der ABT February 20, 2016 Author Share February 20, 2016 Purple tang and blue face are facing off right now so I'll let you know......purple seems to be a more favored color these days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
