Ok finally got the pump hooked up, tank filled and water circulating. I’m very impressed with the quality of the build of this tank and stand. It was quite easy to get everything together and there were no leaks once filling the tank and turning on the pump. Since I’m going full on Red Sea...

Thanks everyone! Yes I do plan to check PAR levels at various points in the tank once I have water in and place the corals appropriately. I think you’re right that I will have a few different shady areas in the tank. Hopefully the fish will enjoy hanging out in those spots. I did leave a...

Got the cabinet together and put the rocks in. Let me know what you think of the aquascaping. Was trying to do the whole negative space thing but with some nooks and hiding spots

Was a busy day but had a bunch of friends come over and successfully got the tank in and onto the stand. Not sure everyone’s backs made it through unscathed!

Excellent I will definitely make a point of attending as many events as I can! I really look forward to meeting everyone in person!

Absolutely agree! I’ve been debating creating my own quarantine tank but to be honest the time and evergy to correctly do the whole quarantine process just seems like a lot. To me it would be well worth the drive and even extra cost (if the fish are priced higher) to go to Oakland if it meant...

Hey neighbor! Would love to know what LFs's you recommend. And hope to meet you sometime in the future!

Building the stand today so I'm thinking to get the tank on there this evening! Your offer of coming by to help is so generous!

Hi everyone! Jumping back into the hobby after an 8 year hiatus. Decided to create a mixed reef with a peninsula tank that will divide my living room and kitchen areas. Wanted to go big! So decided to go with the Red Sea G2+ S950 Peninsula. Tank is 200 gallons and sump is 50...

Will do Erin thanks.

You're right! Snapped some just now and posted them to my tank thread. Thanks!

So Here are some new pictures. Sorry they're crappy iPhone pics, but thats the only camera I have. Kensington: does that hogfish look familiar? Attached files

Thanks everyone. Moved the two heaters into opposite ends of the sump, but not too close to the temp probe. I have very good flow through my sump (return pump is a mag 24), so I'm not too worried about a temperature differential b/w the tank and sump.

I have the super reef octopus 3000 internal for my 180g. It's an awesome skimmer and pulls out tons of crap from time = zero. You won't be dissapointed.

I know I probably should know the answer to this but I'm just not sure. I have a standard 180 with two corner overflows and a 60 gallon sump which is in the garage (directly behind the tank). I run the apex controller (as of last week) and put the temperature probe in the sump right...

Ah I see what you mean. But is there a clean way I can add them onto an ATI Powermodule? I don't have a canopy so I'd like it to look nice

Thanks everyone! Well i retested again three times (all with salifert). Calcium is actually 460 / Alk: 8.4 dKH / and pH 8.3 So it actually doesn't look all too bad. I think I'd like to get the alk up to about 10 or so, so I'll add some alk via 2-part. Corals all look...

HMM...but LEDs for a 72" tank is $$$$.

So my calcium and alkalinity were running low (calc was 380, Kh was 8.0). So i mixed up my two part solution from BRS.com and added them to the tank yesterday. I used BRS's calculator to figure out how much to add. Well I retested this morning and the Calcium was AT LEAST 500 (by...

Sorry I haven't updated in a long time! The tank has been up now for about 3-4 months. Everything has been going fairly well. No fatalities and corals seem to be doing fine. I'm finally finished with the algae blooms, and parameters seem fine (SG 1.025 / amm and nitrite 0 / nitrate about...
