My 72 gallon bowfront rebuild build. Fresh or Salt?

Now to get to work on the drain for the sump, the cheato growing in there might help when the mini cycle starts.

Make some adjustments on my lights, going to lower them a little, I am sure some minor changes will be made here and there. Finish filling the tank.

 

1 day old! No Ammonia spike yet, I know it's coming.

 

Nice looking rockscape

 

Looks great Reefnjeff Glad you made it through. Moving an aquarium is like moving a house. I had to move my 125G twice. We put laminate floor and took carpet out. Wife didn't like it because the dogs pacing the floor sounded like twenty women in high heels walking around here. So I had to move it again to put tile down. New years day 2012 that's what I had to do. Went old school when moving the tank though. ;D

 

Thanks 2in10! It looks nicer looking at it straight on

 

ooh man! I am to old to be moving a tank so large! I hope I don't have to do this any more, maybe just 1 more time.

 

Very nice..standing by !!

 

Gotta get the sump back up today so I can get that huge pump out of there. I am going to stick with the lights I have so I will take the unit apart and pull out the bad ballast so I can replace it.
Got to the lights lowered a little also.

This tank has been running pretty warm, could the thicker class kind of be insulating the inside the tank keeping it warmer than the air temp?

 

Will I am ready to get started on getting my sump back up, I upgraded I guess, I am going from pic 1 is what I used in the 40b and I will be using for 72 the PVC plumbing stuff, I should be able to increase my circulation with the new plumbing.

 

Your pumps are generating some heat. In my garage, which is about 60 degrees most of the time, my mixing barrel actually stays at 80 degrees or so with just my mixing pump. FWIW
