Can I ask and get some advice on how you moved your live stock during an upgrade? I’m currently planning to do this in phases but I just want to me sure I don’t miss anything. Phase 1- move the current display and the inhabitants to the fish room and continue running it for a weekend with a...

Mhmm! There’s more coming! We are almost caught up. I posted this to R2R but plan on updating them together. I think we are behind 2 or 3 posts but I wanted to make sure I share with my NJ friends! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Update: 09/04/18 Coming home to a bunch of boxes is usually pretty nice. There’s some new dry sand in there a long with 50 kilos of aqua forest probiotic salt. I was thinking of giving aqua forest a shot with how difficult it still is to find a steady supply of the triton supplements. The...

Update 9/1/18 Okay! We have come to a decision. We’ll be upgrading the upgrade to a 96x24x24! Brings us to 240 gallons display and 320 gallons total volume. As far as the 180, the seller has agreed to refund me what he and I came up with to be a fair amount. That’s stellar news. Update...

Update 8/31/18 I’ve hit a snag in the upgrade. I picked the 180 up used and after bringing it home and putting some effort and elbow grease into cleaning it up... you know what, I’ll just get to it. It’s scratches to s**t. Excuse the language but it’s the best way I can describe it. I...

Update 8/29/18 Not much in terms of progress but I did place an order for some upgraded parts. I'll be cleaning out and setting up the tank I've been using as a QT tank to hold the fish for a few days while this upgrade unfolds. It's a 40 breeder with a HOB filter and a small power head. Hoping...

Question, how are you guys heating your larger volume tanks? I’m currently using one 800w and one 500w titanium Finnex heaters on the 125 gallon with about 180 gallons of total volume. With the colder temps coming, I’m not sure I’ll be able to heat my planned 240 gallons of reef with these two...

Update 8/28/18 Okay, tank is cleaned. I figured we're a few posts in and I better attach a picture before we lose interest! I spent the morning scrubbing the tank clean and examining the existing return holes made by the previous owner. He had 1/2" sch80 bulk heads and I think I'll be sticking...

Ha! Patience! They’re coming [emoji6] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Paul’s 180 Gallon turned something else upgrade! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hey there! Running about a week behind so I’ll paste what I’ve already documented on R2R until I catch up. Here goes. 08/26/2018 First, here’s a link to the original build. Trials and tribulations of my 125 Gallon build Last week, I picked up the tank and stand and managed to get it into...

Well, the tribulations have ended. I was given permission to upgrade! Will post details later. Here’s the 125 as it stands today Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hey guys- I’m sorry to say but “son if Steve” was rehomed yesterday. I still have some of his foot so should have another one in a year or so! ;). Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It looks like I have a taker. No Facebook for me [emoji52] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

No sweat! @trio91 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I remember that thing. I’ve got a little ways to go to catch up to son of Steve. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Mhmmm. For reference, that’s a 16” over flow behind it. Anyway, I’ll try and be as careful as I can removing it but I think some of it has attached to the back glass. I’ll have it with me on Sunday, trio Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Here it is about 7-8 months ago in my 125. It’s much larger now. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’ll do what I can if there are no takers. I just don’t know how I would transport it lol. Will need to find a container large enough for it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
