GoToSleep's 700g Build Thread (& complete remodel)

I also have the same LFS as GTS and I have to say that we are blessed!!! I saw the sargassums but the angel must have come in this week. I didnt see that one. She shore is purty!!!

Watch the leather jacket like a hawk. I picked one up a couple of weeks ago and it didnt take long for it to start nipping at my LPS's.

Also, not quite sure from the pictures, but are you having a little cyano problem? Kind of looks like some in the picture with the blue spot?

How is the flow in that tall of a tank?

One more question - why did you put the clown tang in with the puffer? Too aggressive for the main tank?

 

....

 

Thanks GTS! I cannot wait to see the tank now that you have so much in it.

Although we are no where near your size, we also found that we had some minor annoying spots of cyano. Seemed to clear up with regular maintenance.

Yeah, he can be hard to catch up with sometimes, but a real stand up guy. I am so happy with my tunze 6105 that I think we are going to add another one. We have had to move some things around as well.

We cringe every time we think we might add something that might not work out. I gotta say, the clown and sohal tangs are 2 of my favorites.

 

Longest thread ever!

 

I had a productive tank day yesterday...

Repaired the power supply on my Tunze Osmolator so my ATO is up and running again.
Got my replaced 6205 power head back in the tank so I have decent flow again.
Got my moon lights hooked-up...very cool to see when I got home late last night.
Set up a 36" Nova Extreme over my 40gal tank so I don't have to run 175W MH over a tank that doesn't have any corals at the moment. Should save me electrcity and cut down on algae growth as well.
Did some power cord management and labeling.

Still have lots to do but it always feels good when I can cross a few things off of the list.

 

Went through the 132pages of this build and wow, I love it, would love to see new pics of it as it sits now. You have a Beautiful tank there Hun.......

 

Thank you and welcome to 3reef. That's quite a bit of water in your sig line, when can we see some shots of your tanks?

 

That's no joke.

 

I'm starting to fear that I've a major restructuring to do. My ATO was out of service because of a leak in the fish closet. I originally thought that the water on the floor was due to splashing but it's now pretty apparent that the 40 gal tank that is plumbed in to my system has a leak in the bottom seam. Arghhhh. The 40 is the one tank that I picked up used -- I think I 'saved' 10 or 20 bucks.

 

Ouch...
