Gazo's 150G in wall build (new pics 10-27-12)

very nice looking setup, the pvc inside for scaping is a very good idea

 

Thanks I can't take the credit for pvc idea I saw that researching landscaping Ideas Just wish I had more stuff tank that size looks pretty bare but cant complain its a good start.

 

well went to pick up more live rock today and ended up getting a fully stocked tank instead with corals sandbed bunch of live rock I think the tank is about 55gallons or bigger. I dont get the tank just whats in it he is trying to sell his business and wants to convert this tank into fresh water. good timing for me.

Anyone live close I will have extra devils hand leathers, cabbage leather and mushrooms and anemones maybe more this tank is stuffed will trade or just give away I dont need duplicates of these corals the mainly bought for the rock, hermit crabs and snails and a few of the corals I was just going to place an order for crabs and snails glad I waited pick everything up this friday I will post some pics sat. when everything is set up. Cant wait

 

I worked on my hood last night repaired the led's and the fans when put everything together one of the plug-ins that someone else rewired fell apart he crimped the plastic end of the conectors not the metal band part. now only 1/2 of the bulb is working is this becuase I wired it back togther wrong or something else.

 

Tank coming along nicely

 

Thanks added a bunch more live rock and corals I will post some updated picks when everything settles and I picked up my duncan today it only has three heads but it will grow fast.

 

I steal need to find out why only half of the compact is turning on both bulbs are doing it, is this a ballast going bad or wireing anyone have this problem before?

 

I just wanted to get your guys opinion if I should wait on adding new corals to my tank its been 2 weeks since the big move all the corals are looking great and healthy. Blue Hippo tang steal has some ick on him do to all the stress but steal eating and active not showing any signs that he is even sick. My local fish store 1 1/2hrs away is having a 25% off sell on all corals this weekened and this would be a perfect time to pickup some stoney corals.
there is a small sign of algae bloom on the sand and some of the rocks but nothing major I will be ordering a clean up crew this next week.

Water parameters
sal. 1.0245
phosphate .009
nitrate 0
nitrite 0
calcium 471
PH 8

I am going to replace the media in my reactor today since there is a small sign of phosphate showing.

 

Here is some updated pics got my light hung and on a rail it turned out nice smooth and easy to roll out of the way for easy access to the tank I hung it off uni-strut with rollers. I went ahead and added some more corals couldn't pass up 25% off everything sale.












anyone know something that would be good to get that would cover the pvc rack I got a piece of green star polyps but I think I am going to need something that requires low light the cabbage leather might do it on one side but need something for the other side I know coraline algae will cover in time also but a nice coral would be better.
I am gettng my cleaner pack next week gave my specs to reef2go hopefully they will come up with a good package then taking a break and letting everything settle and grow time to slow down pocket book cant handle my addiction.

 

I was installing a lifegard uv sterilizer filter system given to me and while trying to get it dial in it was putting a bunch of bubbles in my sump next thing I know my older style SWC protien skimmer is dumping a ton of bubbles out of the pipe and nothing going to the collection cup I tried everything and can't figure out why this is doing that you guys have any suggestions I turned it off for now and have to go to work in an hour
