Herks Tank (updated 4/10/11)

Alright I have all my livestock in a spare tank and and almost done switching over to the new tank. I got 80 lbs of new live rock and I like my new aquascape. Also got 80 lbs of new sand that I am going seed with some from the old tank. I just dumped all the sand in. I will take some pics when the water clears up. For now here is the new tank setup and my attempt at covering my overflow with something.

 

I like the overflow cover. I would suggest switching from your hydrometer to a refractometer. Hydrometers become inconsistent as they get older. Buy a refractometer designed for salt water use with automatic temperature compensation.

 

Is there a specific one that you would recommend.?

 

I got mine from ebay. The model number is RHS-10ATC.

 

Well I finally got all the fish in the new tank. Everything is going good. Just need to get some growth from the corals. I originally had two clams in the tank but had to move one. You would figure my trigger was nipping at my clam but nope my jewel damsel was. Also my maroon clown has been going crazy stirring sand all around so as you see some sand is on the corals. The sand and 50 lbs of the live rock are from marcos rock and the 25 lbs of live rock and the rubble in my sump are from reefcleaners.

 

Cool! looks so algae free!

 

Thats because it is new and almost all of the rock is base rock.

 

a few more pics

 

Also a couple pics of my new corals they are sitting in the quarantine tank right now.

 

Looks great, love the rock work. nice looking corals and fish
