Rostatos Reefer 450 and Reefer 170

[Rostato]

Started the transfer. Just one light for now and moved all my small stuff to make moving the bigger rocks tomorrow easier.

Been a long day. Hard to believe all that fit in the old tank. It’s already full in the 450!

You planning on running bare bottom?
Man you system is fresh am just worried you go through a mini cycle. I hope it will be quick of it happen.
Watch out and test your paramaters daily..

 

[Rostato]

Definitely bare bottom. I’ll never do sand again.



It might mini cycle but it’s all the same rock.

Shouldn’t be bad at all. I plan to throw in a bit of microbacter

Its dangerous subject to give advices...but..do not you think instead of adding new bacterial strain, it's better feed the existing bacteria?
Again this is dangerous so I cannot guarantee, but, I would rather dose bacterial food(some carbon) to support existing bacteria instead of adding new strain that might compete and prolong the transition settling phase..
Food for thoughts..

Hmm. Not bad advice.

If you will go this route just do not overdose and start easy

I do t have a good carbon source that I trust so I’ll probably just let it all be. There was a ton of rock in the old tank.

I really think it’ll be ok. But I’ve been wrong before.

Is there a lot of shading with the 3 XR15s?

Pretty sure rsr250 is 3ft? Anyway still a significant upgrade. Congrats! Amazing speed at which you accomplished the transfer!

Pretty much done. Just waiting for some new surge protectors and to move my battery backups up to the new cabinet.

The orange filter is strong with this one!

Looks really good man. Like a real reef tank!
Super happy for you.
Are you already used to the size? Looks full already.
