Tank Entry

I was going to do one big update but decided to break it up. This part is about my canopy. The system I got was a few years old and was really a fixer upper.

Son-in-law Tim helping me! They had some bad wood on canopy, looked like it wasn't seal to great! He took off all bad wood.



He replaced with all new wood. Notice I taped off the VHO caps to get ready for sealing and painting.

UPDATE

Time to be salty.

NSW (Natural Sea Water) arrived . . .. . I got couple of 20 liters Bottles, to get water from Sea.




576 liters Natural sea Water is here.

In the same time, I made 120 gallon tank water changes with 15gallon and put this 15 gallon in my new tank ...

I got both tanks plumbed together into my tiny sump and waited a couple days to make sure everything looks good. It does, so today I moved a lot of my coral over. I took out everything that wasn't on a huge rock. I still have an encrusing monti and a table acro in the 55, along with a small clam that has attached to his rock that I don't have room for. I also got out my RBTA and percs, but I'm hoping to borrow a fish trap for the rest. I can't believe how small my RBTA is when stressed out ...

It's been awhile since I've done an update post on the tank, and in that time I've gotten a lot of new goodies. Unfortunately I've been moving stuff around a lil too much in the tank, so I have a tiny diatom bloom atm on the substrate, and a bit of algae has popped up here and there, but overall it's actually staying quite clean. (Well the cleanest I've ever been able to keep a tank yet)

First, we'll toss up some of my new zoanthid and palythoa frags.

I had a lot of pics for y'all but wanted to delete a few I uploaded and when I click backspace it took me out of EVERYTHING I had already done. ;-/ So, his a simply update! Yesterday I hung my T-5's I had on my other tank in my stand and ran all the electrical except the lights, they still need to be done and mounted all the way on the canopy back. Canopy is half painted because its to heavy for just me to take off and no one has been over to help me take it off. New T-5's been hung in rear of canopy. ...
