I'm BAAAaaack!

Those of you that know me or have seen my posting back end of last year sometime. I had taken down my 55 gallon reef because I was gettin married and moving. Things didnt go quite according to plan, I DID get married however, still living in the same home and just picked up a new 75G tank with stand and canopy. The lights are retrofitted and pretty crappy (three 32 watt bulbs). I used to have 2 175 watt metal halides over my 55 but dont think I will be able to retrofit them in there. It doesnt really matter because I won't being going reef for now. Gonna with a FOWLR system until I move into another home. I will use this thread to update my progress. Having a problem uploading the new pics but will have them up soon. ;D Good to be back

 

for pics, i use photobucket and just copy the image url over and it works perfect..

but awesome and welcome back cant wait to see some pics of it being built..

 

Welcome back DaDaAtlanta

congrats on getting married
looking forward to the tank build

Steve

 

thanks

I was wondering, maybe I will have to start another thread for this, but.....I have a bucket of sand from my old tank that has been sitting and dried, can I use this in the new tank with the addition of new sand over it?

 

yeah i dont see why not..it should just be like the dried sand from the fish store..

i would use it if it was my tank..

 

I was really just worried about any of the dead stuff in there causing any problems, but its really not that much and gonna use much more on top of it so I think it should be safe, just gonna rinse it.

 

Welcome back, congrats on getting married and starting a new tank.
I would rinse the sand in ro water thoroughly to remove dead matter.

 

Pics of new tank

finally got the pics the new tank up, its actually now set up and cycling with 2 damsels, gonna take pics and upload soon.
