So, I am at it again!!

 

Started with a BC29 1yrs ago. Upgraded to a 40 breeder in February...

 

Now I will be upgrading to a 57 Rimless. Always wanted this tank since I saw it but was a little out of my price range. Picked up the tank, stand, and overflow kit for a cool $375 from my local LFS.

 

NEW:

57 Rimless w/ stand

Ehiem 1262

 

ALREADY HAVE:

 

2 AI SOl Superblue (FREAKING AWSOME)

Vortech MP10es

Reef Octo 4

20 Long sump (DIY)

Jaeger 150w heater

 

LIVE STOCK:

 

2 clown fish host red bubble tip

1- 2 spot hog fish (beast)

1 Argyle Angel

1 Hawk Fish

 

 

So she is all wet!!! Move went well and everyone is happy. Please enjoy the crappy pics! Scape is not final

Should have this up and running soon, just need time to make water, mix, heat, then transfer.

Should have the new heater and new bulkhead (read the stock ones are crap) tomorrow, then need to make hangers for the lights.

 

Will Update with pics soon

 

 

It looks like its going to be a nice setup. I see that you have AI lights, you should join the AQUA ILLUMINATIONS CLUB here on NR! Here is the Link to the AQUA ILLUMINATIONS CLUB!

I plan on using a valve on the return to reduce the flow.

 

I also bought and bent some conduit to hang the lights from. Need to paint and mount and will update soon.

 

Thanks for looking!!
