Hi, am encore from Maldives.

I am upgrading my nano 25g tank to a 60g tank.
I will be moving everything from my current 25g into this new tank.

new stuff:
- 60g tank (25g sump, total of 85g)
- 41" long, 20" height, 18" wide, with 6x39w T5HO light
- 3" of live sand
- Halea 150A chiller
- Jebo 180 skimmer ( i really dont like this one, gonna upgrade soon)

Livestock:
- 3 x Blue-green Chromise (from my current tank)
- 2 x Pinkbar shrimp goby (have one in my current nano)
- 1 x Blue Tang (1.5" to 3")
- 2 x Firefish Goby
- 1 x Cleaner Wrasse (from my current tank, i have always liked my cleaner wrasse, its so friendly)
- 1 x Coral banded ( from my current tank)
- 1 x Clarkii clown (from my current tank)
is it too much for a 60?? loll, i enjoy having more fishes than corals.

O'rite lets begin.
All my fishes, corals, live rock, sand and all live stock are hand picked by me and friends from the sea.
As am living in a coral islands, its easy fro me to go the reef and collect the common stuff my own.

This 60g, am going to collect 100% live rock and sand from the reef. It will be containing lots of pods and other micro living things in the sands we collect from the reef.
I will be also using all the live rocks from my current tank, so this will fasten the cycling process.

corals are to be select, i will be going for mostly softies.

my water changes will be weekly 20% fresh natural salts and fresh water top off every three days with bottled water.

Temperature will be set to 27-28 degree Celsius.

Sounds awesome! can't wait to see some pix
I have looked for a pink bar goby forever and have yet to see one around here for sale

i will post pics when i do start building the new tank.
cabinet will be ready in next week, once its arrives, i iwll work on the tank build

longtime...

am back with my build thread. the tank has been up nd running for month now.
i did move all the live stock directly to the new tank without letting it to balance the cycle.
i moved all the live rocks to the new tank with the fresh live rocks from the sea. it had a huge ammonia spike and corals were almost dying. ultimately all the corals and fishes survived except the only clam i had at that time.

anyways am back with few more softies and LPS and brand new three baby clams :-)
all are doing fine, the tank seems well cycled and fishes are back to normal.

i have transformed my old display tank to a sump and incorporated with the new setup.

i will post few pics of the new tank. but still am not happy with my aqua-scape.

sorry that i was unable to take the built pics
