GtTap Posted February 27, 2015 Author Share Posted February 27, 2015 Do yall think i will be fine with a 20 long as a sump for now. Link to comment
markalot Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Do yall think i will be fine with a 20 long as a sump for now. I don't see why not, I use 35 gallons for a 150 and it works, just make sure your skimmer fits where you want it to fit. Link to comment
GtTap Posted March 15, 2015 Author Share Posted March 15, 2015 Things are starting to clear up. I have 2 filter socks, some ammonia and a super cheap powerhead coming in tomorrow. Link to comment
GtTap Posted March 16, 2015 Author Share Posted March 16, 2015 Added one of my Chinese black box leds to see how they would look. Added some of this to see how the cycle goes, my sump has some live rock in it. Link to comment
GtTap Posted March 23, 2015 Author Share Posted March 23, 2015 Well so far the fish and corals i put in the tank yesterday looks fine, ill keep and eye on them to see how things are doing before i move more over. Link to comment
GtTap Posted March 23, 2015 Author Share Posted March 23, 2015 Hey Mark how long would you wait before moving other corals over. Link to comment
markalot Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 Hey Mark how long would you wait before moving other corals over. I would be adding Prime to the new tank just in case, and then wait a week to see what happens. You should notice some green algae forming on the tank walls, if it's similar to what I experienced, and if ammonia stays at 0 for a week then I would move them. I moved rocks and all to my 150 so I didn't experience any cycle. Link to comment

My water dosent have any chlorine or chloramine since my house is on a well and i filtered the water with my ro/di. Link to comment
GtTap Posted May 7, 2015 Author Share Posted May 7, 2015 Well the zipties started getting very loose so i had to pull out most of the rock and epoxy them i left zipties in some places along with epoxy. Skimmer starting to do good too. Link to comment
GtTap Posted May 12, 2015 Author Share Posted May 12, 2015 Tank coming along well . Had some weird ALK issues but think i got a hand on it now. Made the switch from Reef Crystals to Kent salt and so far im liking it. Lost my clam for some reason it never got its foot mounted and ended up suffering from stress, a lack of monitoring the system by me. Link to comment

Lost my clam for some reason it never got its foot mounted and ended up suffering from stress, a lack of monitoring the system by me. Everything is looking nice and colorful! Glad you like Kent, I'm still tempted to switch back to it. Link to comment

markalot Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 What salt you using now? A 25/75 mix Red Sea Blue Bucket (8KH) and Reef Crystals. This brings the KH down to a more reasonable level. Link to comment
