My 225 Gallon Set-up

Yea, it was a wild ride with the tank, but SO worth it now. While I got a sweeet deal on my setup here is what ive had to deal wiht.

1. replace seals on both the barracuda (leaked badly) and the dart (leaked slightly)
2. both PH probes were bad
3. aquamed dosing pump needs new motor
4. chiller kicked the bucket
5. something else is gonna break here sooon.

 

lol man ur a trip ! just trying to help save you cash and time man[/QUOTE]

I know. I'm just trying to do this slow but right. I refuse to make the same mistake twice.

HAHA!!!! Naw I try to take good care of my eqpt. while the previouis owner of the stuff was an awesome guy, being that his eqpt was outside on the back patio in an enclosure, it was pretty rough.

that said bruh, get you a chromis or something in there to keep whatever bacteria you have in the rock alive.

for me, as soon as I get out of the Hypo, im going head strong into it. gonna do some Dwarf angels and major SPS blowout.

 

stay away from angels ! lol i know we all do what we want but imo they will always eat coral... if not sooner then later, its only a matter of time. ive been down this road lol.
bruh i feel you. a few chromis arent a bad idea as they generally make great tank mates to other fish.
you could prob even do hermots to keep bacteria alive vs fish, as i told you I dnt even sell customers damsels to get a tank started. i was done this way and alota ppl end up stuck with a pita fish that they wish would die or cnt get out.
end of the day you have to do what u think is best good sir ! and again happy bday !

 

Ant, we ahve a guy here locally who is doing quite well with them. he has 5 or 6 of them in his SPS tank and they are not doing any damage to the corals. they do like clams and softies which I will not be doing. I have never had good luck with Clams and truly want an SPS tank. I been doing my research and will go for it. It killing me now not to be able to add coral or fish...

 

What is a hermots?

 

lol was a typo. hermits... lol PUM good luck in your endevour good sir, i do hope it werks out for you

 

yuppers! we shall see. I think its time to turn this thread back over to its rightful owner. I have hajacked it enough!

 

Well this type of hijacking is legal. I am slowly getting the CUC out of my 125 and putting it in the new tank. I put two sand sifting cucumbers and a few hermits as we speak. I will be getting a couple sand sifting starfish tomorrow to put in there.
