Just upgraded

Had a 24 nano, 30 gallon, and a 28 bow front.

Was tired or maintaining 3 tanks and not being able to get what I wanted in the tanks because of size and lighting issues. So I have upgraded to a 55 gallon w/sump and Metal Halides. Now I should be able to actually enjoy what I have created.

 

Looks good, can't wait for the dust to settle.

 

Thanks. Now the hard part is waiting to see if it is going to actually cycle or because I used water and rocks from my existing tanks if its okay. Testing the water this weekend.

 

Congrats on the upgrade. Look forward to seeing your progress.

 

new upgrade

 

after about 5 months

Current pic seems to be doing well.

 

looking great, keep up the good work

 

Hey, don't you feel great about the decision? I do and it isn't even my tank! You will love it more and more as things progress. Don't get discouraged at the set backs (which unfortunately are bound to happen) just remember the sense of satisfaction and the joy you have now and that will get you through any issues you face. Keep up on all your main parameters i.e. PH, ALK, Cal, Mag and SG, keep them stable with no abrupt changes and you will be fine. Enjoy the tank.

 

after a year or so

This pic was taken in December 2010 and yet the tank still looks different.

 

Looks good, congrats, you need to get a more recent pic up to see the changes that have occurred since December.
